hempen

It is true that Saint Francis was ceint by a hempen girdle, and, moreover, was clad in a habit of gris.

He swung a huge hempen sack over one shoulder and trailed a heavy staff.

The peasant took the front seat, untied his hempen reins, and gave the horses a cut with the whip.

There was a hempen string, and on this, next his hand, he had tied a bit of ribbon and an ordinary iron key.

From "canabis," the Latin name for hemp or flax, we have the word "canvas" to mean any texture woven of hempen thread.
