Patons Hempster yarn was introduced in the Fall of 2018 as a new yarn option for the Patons brand of yarns. This yarn is a mix of 55% hemp and 45% cotton. It is intended for durability, reliability, and longevity for projects. Future projects will include tote bags, accessories, and even garments like tank tops.
It is a light-weight, gauge yarn. I can see using it for Wayuu Crochet Options such as Mochilas. We will be experimenting more with Wayuu later in 2018 / 2019.
