Synthetic fibre composite materials are replaced by natural fibre composites widely in past decades due to their low environmental impact and low cost. Hemp is one of the most available raw materials for the manufacturing of natural fibre composite material in Europe. In this study, an experimental analysis is carried out in order to investigate the mechanical behaviour study of hemp fibre yarn. Hemp fibre yarn specimens were set up and subjected to mechanical tensile test. The mechanical properties were retrieved from the experimental results and these studies show that hemp fibre can be utilised and replaced synthetic fibre in many applications.
