Hemp typically comes in a natural tan color but there are many other colors to choose from. Hemp twine is most often 1mm although you can find thicker cord.

Cut the hemp. Using scissors cut one 5 yard 4.5 meter length of hemp. Then cut another length twice as long as the piece of jewelry plus a few extra inches. This necklace will be about 1.5 ~0.5 meter long so a single yard almost a meter would be appropriate.

You can usually find bars of beeswax at hobby stores.Hemp can be purchased in many different weights and lengths, but for a good all around use hemp cord, I'd recommend a 48lb
