Supplied his own material

In this afternoons mail I recieve a package. The note said he would like a kilt made from the contents of the package.
Now this is going even further than designing your own tartan. The jonsing factor on this is going to be frightening.
This client expects me to plant it, cultivate, harvest, process. Spin, dye and weave it into cloth..... then make a kilt!

I might be tempted to do just that....
Introducing Tassie Hemp approximate delivery will be late 2008-2009.
Some Mondays are a little more frightening than others

As MacEnroe might say "You can NOT be serious."

I'd ask why doesn't he do the planting etc. and then send you the ready material

I think he is not all there

Is it legal to export and import seed from another continent without having Ministry (or Department) of Agriculture clearance?

Robert, I think you should be very, very careful!

Just checked Canada Customs if the seed came from the States and is considered a "field crop seed" then it requires no permit.
However I also discovered that hemp seeds from Canada can no longer be shipped south of the border (again) due to concerns of THC levels. Sorry fellas hemp is fine it's that pesky THC that has stifled the production of, and produced a bias against, a truly wonderful material. I teach lines & knots, do you think I can even find a sample of hemp rope anywhere?

I worked in a theatre hemp house in Victoria, It is so called because the fly system uses hemp rope instead of cable. Really dusty though.

At least he didn't send a silk worm. That little bugger would have to work day and night for a decade to get enough silk for a Jacobite shirt!

I once heard a story from an old stage hand about the time they thought that they would "upgrade" a fly system and replace all of that old nasty hemp rope with modern synthetic rope...it was a disaster because the synthetic kept stretching and eventually there was so much slack in the sytem that all of the scenery and the counterweights were on the floor. Sometimes newer is not better.

Best
