Abstract

Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is a plant that has been used in yarn production for thousands of years. Its fibers are natural fibers used in the textile, paper, and bio-based composite industries. Different pooling methods are used to obtain fibers from the hemp plant. The study aims to investigate yarn production possibilities not only for twine and rope but also for high-value-added textile materials. Within the scope of the research, the extracted fibers of Samsun's local hemp were retted with hydrogen peroxide in an ultrasonic environment and then treated with laccase. The resulting fibers were characterized. It was observed that the extracted fibers, which were retted at 60C for 60 minutes with 10 g/l H2O2, 8 g/l NaOH and 0.5 g/l stabilizer, gained spinnability after treatment with laccase. Ne12/1 open-end (82.5% cotton/17.5% hemp) yarn was spun with the fibers in question.
