Knotty Kims Hemp



I find myself having one of those Portlandia Moments, lost in an electronic haze of a smart phone, Netflix, my laptop, the endless world wide web. I posted on Facebook this week about missing the days when before I knew how to work a smart phone. Props to all of my friends that are still rocking a flip phone. I even know a fella' rocking an old Nokia...he wins.

I had the pleasure of meeting up with Knotty Kims Hemp proprietor and kick ass hooper Kim! We played in the studio for a few hours and I picked up an amazing Poly Pro hoop to add to my collection. This is actually a huge deal for me. I've never owned a hoop with this type of tubing. It is so light and fast and it looks incredible.

For $25 Kim will custom make you a poly pro hoop of your choice. She offered to tape and/or sand the hoop. The sanding offers amazing grip and I'm having so much fun practicing my iso-pops around the kitchen all week.

Aside from jewelery maker extraordinaire, Kim is an amazing hoop dancer. You can usually catch her somewhere in the state spinning lights or fire with FloNation, a collaborative group of performance artists that spin poi and other flow toys. Check out her etsy page to see her hemp creations. Be sure to like Knotty Kims Hemp on Facebook, too!
