Love help: I am new…I braid hemp…I am thinking about selling handmade jewelry..any opinions? - Help.com

Go for it, there are many fairs and craft sales you could sell them at, even on ebay and the like if you are so inclined. Just keep your initial investment as low as you can before you see how the response is, not to say it won’t be popular, just less risk to you. It’s great to turn a creative hobby into a business, why not give it a go? Best of luck!

I love your avatar. That cat isn’t sticking it’s tongue out at me, I hope. What country are you in? Hemp is illegal in the US I thought.

Is it? Well whoopsie, I had no idea. Here in Canada it is legal (must have been the liberals) ;)

Yes, back in the seventies.

Columbia Encyclopedia
hemp, common name for a tall annual herb (Cannabis sativa) of the family Cannabinaceae, native to Asia but now widespread because of its formerly large-scale cultivation for the bast fiber (also called hemp) and for the drugs it yields. Known and cultivated in ancient China, the plant was introduced into Europe before the Christian era. In the United States it was cultivated chiefly in the Midwest. The fiber, retted from the stem, was one of the most important for various kinds of cordage; it was also used in making paper, cloth (canvas and other kinds), oakum for calking ships, and other products. The male and female flowers are borne on separate plants. The chemical derived from the female flowering tops is used medicinally and is the source of marijuana and hashish. Hemp seed is used as bird food, and the oil from the seeds is used in the manufacture of paints, varnishes, and soap. The dried leaves are used in Asia for a beverage. The word hemp is used in combination for several other kinds of fiber plants, notably Manila hemp and sisal hemp. The true hemp plant is related to the hop, which is used in making beer. Hemp is classified in the division Magnoliophyta, class Magnoliopsida, order Urticales, family Cannabinaceae.

I can’t say on the grounds that I may incriminate myself. All I can say is I was very young at the time and didn’t inhale :)

Do you have any pics of your stuff that you can share? It would be great to see it.

is your icon woven from hemp?
