For hemp you could try a store that sells beading supplies.

It is quite popular with the younger kids for macrame and bead combinations for belts, wristbands etc.

A well stocked arts and crafts like around here called "Michael's" would be a good shot too.

Hahah!! I mentioned to my wife that I was going to stop by Michaels (she LOVES the place) and now, instead of a quick stop, it's turned into a family shopping trip scheduled for this weekend.

Oh No! Now that's gonna cost you.

If they don't have it you can get it off the web. There's been some real nice stuff coming out of Hungary.
Yes, there is a difference in twines, strings and ropes. Especially if your going to use it to make something load bearing like a bowstring.

If I was gonna rewrap a handle in hemp I'd start with a quality manufactured string or twist something up myself. Around here it's dogbane or swampnettle.

But you should use what they had available to them.

Interesting. My favorite cleaning method NEVER-DULL, followed by oil. Should it be ok to use it before FeCl etching ?
