I've been looking for something unique to crochet, to add to my stash. Just in case I build enough up for a craft show one of these winters (ha!). I noticed that hemp is the new thread for crocheting dish scrubbies, so I finally got around to getting a few balls of it. Oh, does it smell too. Just FYI. I had it in my bedroom, and it took us a day to figure out what "that smell was." I crocheted mine somewhat following a free pattern online. I also checked stores for the colored hemp (contains chemicals, so I didn't buy it). I went ahead and simply crocheted the two pieces together, and skipped the extra edging. Then we gave it a "whirl" at the kitchen sink. First thing we discovered - water will rinse out green after first use. Second thing we discovered
