It smells like camels, I HATE IT.


Wash finished pieces in soapy water, then rinse? Hang up until dry?
I actually have no idea. I've never been very bothered by hemp smell, and I feel like the smell goes away after a while anyway.

D: Amagawd. I must be weird. I like the smell, it's a bit musky.
Anyhow, before I traumatize you with my weirdness, I'll link you some stuff. Washing it or soaking it is also good because it loosens up the fibers and makes it less scratchy, so it's a 2 fer 1 deal.

lmao, I thought i recognized that smell.

Never thought about camels but you're right.
Go to a health food/Natural foods store. Most places carry something Called Broner's Soap. It is kind of priced high, but most natural/Organic products are expensive. They have a VERY powerful aroma of either Mint, Eucalyptus, or Almond. I recommend soaking the hemp in a diluted mix of the soap and water for up to ten minutes(maybe longer), every day for about a week. Just make sure to rinse it off after each soak. You can continue to soak it as you wear it as well, and not only will it help keep it clean, but it smells AMAZING. Good luck.

I don't get how it smells like camels. It's a plant fiber, not an animal fiber. SO CONFUSED! emotion_8c

Mmmmm, Bronner's. Love that stuff. I THINK (don't quote me on this, but pretty sure it exists) they have an unscented soap as well. Pretty sure I saw it at the local Hannafords.

Yeah, I prefer the ones that smell like mint and almond. Mint is the most powerful scented one.
