Hemp Lines

All hemp within the Conservatoire has been measured and marked to stock sizes.
These markings take the form of traditional finishing terms called whipping.
The two common types found are the common/standard/simple whipping which is a basic simple process and sailmakers whipping which is a lot stronger and more durable.
All the hemp has been colour coded to enable easy identification of length. These are marked as;
Blue - 44m
White - 30m
Red - 20m
Green - 60m
