Our range of beeswax-coated hemp twine is made in the traditional way in Hungary. This 100g-size ball contains about 125m, breaking strength 88N. It is made with two lengths of yarn twisted together. The picture below with the pen shown will give you an idea of the thickness of this twine (about 2mm thick, but does vary due to the traditional manufacturing technique).

Hemp twines ropes and cords are easy on the hands and hold knots really well. Hemp resists rot and mildew so it great for situations where they will get wet or be exposed to the weather.

Hemp also has a fantastic natural look and feel so our hemp ropes and twines have featured in several major movies made in New Zealand, including the Lord of the Rings trilogy, King Kong, Narnia, 10,000BC, the Last Samurai and more.
