Question:

hemp string?

How would someone go about making hemp string by hand?

Answer:

You can google spinning dog hair or felting or spinning pyr fur and you should come up with websitesThere are people who will spin the fur for you for a feeIf the hairs are short, they sometimes need to add another yarn product to the dog fur To do it all yourself, you'd have to buy a spinning wheel and learn how to spin Your dogs would make wonderfully warm winter sweaters, hats, etc.
I saved the fur from my first two sams and had it spun into yarnThe person who did the spinning mixed in 1/3 sheep's wool to add strength to the yarnits really nice yarn, similar in texture to angoraI still haven't got around to learning how to knit.
I'm also a spinner of chiengora aka dog hairI crochet the yarn into scarves, mittens, and hatsThis makes wonderful wearables without the itchiness of sheep's woolI get my fur from a friend who is a dog groomerFor pricing, you might want to compare your goods to homemade woolen goods that are sold in your areaGood luck.
If you are determined to make hemp string by hand instead of buying (which you should) you can buy the hemp fiber from a yarn spinning supply store, there are lots onlineOnce you have the fiber (which is a very long fiber) you take a small amount that is close to the thickness you want your string to be, wet your right hand and while holding the fiber in your left hand, have some hang over your lap and with that wet right hand roll over the fiber going from thigh to kneeYou might want to wear an old pair of jeans or work pants with a heavy strong fabric.
