American Maid 3/2 4oz cone

Sustainably grown, colorful cotton yarn straight form American cotton fields to your loom. This American made yarn is available in the colors that it is grown in, no dye required! Brown and green colored cotton becomes darker when washed, especially in alkaline water. Just add baking soda to the warm wash water and watch the color deepen. The first wash water is often dirty afterward because when you wash it, it's the yarn's first bath! You're washing off dirt from the fields as well as any oils or dirt from processing. Lunatic Fringe buys the cotton lint directly from the cotton growers, and tends the fiber all the way through its processing into yarn. Every year, they make purchasing choices to make their yarns as sustainable as they can. 3/2 makes wonderful bath towels, snuggly blankets or delicious placemats, with a grist of 1260 yards per pound. Care instructions Braid or twist any fringe before washing. Hand wash the first time. After that, machine wash warm, tumble dry low.
