I am going to make some more inserts from hemp. Last time I made them they seemed to go a bit out of shape, I don't think it was my cutting but I can't be sure. Does anyone have any tips to stop them going out of shape?
I have done 2 hot washes and dried in the drier both times with this new lot. I am sure that I did the same with the last lot but they still went a bit out of shape. Should I wash it a 3rd time?
I'm about to try making some hemp inserts too - the washing instructions on the Greenbeans website suggested 3 hot washes, so that's what I've done. Have yet to actually make them though, so hopefully they turn out okay!
Believe it or not I washed and dried my hemp 6 times before cutting and sewing. Not sure if that's what Green Beans told me, otherwise a friend suggested it. My hemp went out of shape too, I now use one peg in the middle when hanging. If you use two pegs at either corner it seems to make the corners stretch out. They are still slightly stretched out but not too bad. I am happy enough with them that I am going to make more.
