25/2 hemp in white or 23/2 in écru can then be inserted as a gimp. 40/2 ecru is also a nice thickness for making bobbin lace (hemp is almost the same thickness as linen).
Hemp 25/2 - 188m/25gr
= 25/2 Linnen
In Japan they also spin the fibres into very fine thread which lends itself very well to bobbin lace. 100/2 hemp, for example, in white or écru with a very natural look, feels slightly thicker and about the equivalent of 100/2 linen. It is a strong thread with a good tension, perhaps a bit stiff on the bobbins but then it is a natural hemp thread.
