Yes, I've spun different types of bast fibers including flax and hemp.
Some folks use a distaff, some folks like spinning it wet (damp) but I like spinning it dry (just wetting my fingers).
To 'set it', you need to boil the yarn. Still, it will be quite stiff until it gets really abused (i.e. a lot of use and washing) to soften up the fiber
