Anyone know how to spin hemp thread or know where I could find out how? I assume you dry out the stalk and comb out the threads but there has to be more to it than that.

This is one thing Google knows little about. I have tried, all I know is that it is usually done by machine. But there must be a way to do it by hand, hemp rope has been around forever. I just need ideas for a comb to separate all the fibers.

Cool. Looks like the first step is going to be rotting the stalks in a bucket of water for a few weeks.
