Kelbourne Woolens Skipper Sport Weight Cotton Yarn

Description Skipper, from Kelbourne Woolens in Philadelphia, is a 4-ply 100% un-mercerized Tanguis cotton yarn, perfect for knitting, crochet, and crafts. Skipper is made of Peruvian Tanguis cotton, a soft and strong long staple cotton. A delight to work with, Skipper's variable gauge makes it ideal for baby garments, summery tees, amigurumi, accessories, or whatever else you’re hoping to create! Tanguis cotton is absorbent and wicks moisture from perspiration better than normal cotton. Its long staple fiber length is more resistant to pilling and fluffing off on your hands as you work, and is less prone to wrinkling, too! Tanguis cotton was developed to be more resistant to cotton wilt, and as a result is more environmentally friendly.  Specifications Content: 100% Tanguis Cotton from Peru Weight: Sport Length: 137 yards (125 meters) / 50 gram ball Gauge: 22-26 sts = 4” (10 cm) Needle size: US 2-4 (2.75-3.5 mm) Crochet hook size: 2.75mm (C) - 3.5mm (E) Care: Machine wash cool, lay flat to dry Why we love Kelbourne Woolens Kelbourne Woolens is a woman-owned business just up north in Philadelphia.  (When you're in Philly, please make sure you visit their delightful storefront!)
