Linen or hemp strapping?

[wdbritt]

Okay, so Pichou has convinced me that cotton webbing isn't PC/HC for bag straps. :surrender: That leaves linen or hemp as far as I can tell and I have no idea where you get either. I've run several web searches to no avail. Any suggestions?

Here are two sources you might investigate:

http://www.najecki.com/repro/Lace.html

Good luck with your project.

I found some coase hemp webbing at a craft store, similiar to THIS.

It was pretty wide but could be doubled over and stitched.

A simple "hemp webbing" search turned up a bunch of sites: http://www.rawganique.com/Dept-Hemp-Accessories/organic-hemp-webbing.htm http://hempbasics.com/shop/index.p...-Webbing&sid=4h9pm00191zj8x819a785wo1j44e2u8m http://www.turkeyfootllc.com/Hemproducts.html ,
etc. Check it out for yourself.

Yeah, OK, blame ME. :cursing:

:rotf: :haha: :rotf:

Those all look great. Maybe the Najecki coarse stuff is a little too rustic. But the rest of them... so many cool choices! :grin:

Hey Pichou I had to blame somebody! :grin: Thanks guys! I guess I wasn't running the right search. I kept putting in straps instead of webbing. DUH!! :shake:

Well, don't start a trend. I'm already the whipping boy on another forum.

I've dealt with Colleen from turkeyfoot trade co. llc and she's a real good person and has some quality plunder to boot!

 

[pichou]

Turkeyfoot always has a nice setup at events. Nice people too. :thumbsup:


Pichou, who always buys maple sugar candy from them. :grin:

You can often times find it at auto upholstry supply houses.

Pichou, your not a whipping boy in my book. You've never been anything but helpful to me and answer my questions without being condescending. I really do appreciate that! :applause:

To everyone else, thanks for all the help! I'll get some webbing so I can make some more bags.

I have an inkle loom and I use sisal all the time to weave with. It's way cheaper to buy then even cotton. It makes a really nice strap.
