I got a bunch of the yarn on Clearance and it splits as badly as the Dollar Tree cotton yarn. It's very stiff. Better-made linen is much, much softer, actually. I also do have antique hemp kimono from before America imposed the hemp ban on Japan, and it's like soft but durable thick denim after ~70 years. This would probably be really good for weaving, macrame, or making hemp cord on a marudai or lucet. A lucet is a very cheap, simple tool that makes a cord like a crochet chain, which is great for drawstring bags or anything that requires cording. For macrame, the individual knots have not stood out but it's partially because it's because it's thin enough. Making a macrame weaving on a smaller scale for jewellery, bookmarks, journal bands, or other like items has been nice so far. You do want to moisturise your hands well, though! The hemp will dry your skin out, wicking all oil out of your skin.
Why can't i find literally no videos or info of people making their own T-shirt fabrics like you can buy online that let's say is 100% cotton? only 30.000-40.000$ industrial knitting machines can do it?
@@MelodyCrochet except those have nothing to do with how to create the fabric.They are just taking a t shirt and cutting it up.I meant how to make yourself the t shirt fabric .
@@encapsulatio t shirt fabric is extremely fine. I have a few looms and NONE of them will make anything remotely as fine as quilting cotton. Knitting t-shirt fabric means taking a sewing thread, somehow getting long needle-thin ergonomically-adapted needles, and knitting for years to make the fabric only a metre or so. A machine is needed to do it. It sucks, but that's why those machines were created- otherwise, you're looking at 'regular' chunky knits, which is what t-shirt fabric IS on a scale that humans can actually see well. Just like knit fabric rolls, t-shirt fabric, also a knit, will roll. It just doesn't unravel as much or as easily because the thread fibres are so incredibly tiny vs. how large any kind of yarn or knitting-size thread would be. The fibre size matters.
