I'm really into making hemp necklaces and stuff. I have two pretty good necklaces that I have made. But....
My question is: Is hemp supposed to be itchy for a while untill it gets more worn in? Or could that be that I just dont have a good quaility?
Do you know any websites that have alot of different stuff about hemp, like how to's, pic's just stuff like that. Thanks alot!
