Our 100% organically grown Cotton Pure is a real natural beauty! This amazing cotton yarn feels lovely in the hand and is wonderfully soft and supple to knit. And more... Cotton Pure is unmercerized, which means it skipped out on avoidable chemical treatments and also that it's extra soft and absorbent, with a pleasing matte finish. A sportweight yarn, its multi-strand structure is ten plies that are actually plied strands themselves, resulting in an incredibly strong and even yarn that creates a smooth stockinette, as well as beautiful stitch definition for stitch patterns from simple seed stitch to elaborate cables. Machine wash- and dry-able Cotton Pure is a practical (and lovely!) yarn for housewares and baby clothes, and it's gorgeous for lightweight blankets, wraps, and sweaters, too. The palette is a wild bouquet of colors taken from a landscape in full bloom: birch and linden trees, warm rocks, blue coastlines, and meadows of wildflowers... Beautiful! Want a lot of Cotton Pure?
