Squishier than our other cotton bases, this yarn is soft, velvety and plump, with a gentle twist. The yarn takes the dye really nicely. We recommend Procion MX or fiber-reactive dyes for this yarn. Using a #5 needle made a more dense fabric, which worked nicely. This would make a wonderful, woven fabric, but take care using it as a warp (although strong enough), as it is softly spun and continued friction may make the fibers fluff up.
Sample skein for wholesale customers — only one skein of each type per customer please.
For best color uptake, please see our notes on how to prepare cellulose yarns for dyeing.
