Harbor Organic Cotton-Linen DK

Harbor marries the classic, versatile 4-ply twist of Terrapin's Chesapeake line with a dash of summer-light unbleached linen for the perfect hot weather fiber! It has such a soft hand it is hard to believe it's a linen blend--it feels very similar to Chesapeake when skeined, with the linen only showing itself through better stitch definition, hold, and drape once you begin working with the yarn. The unbleached linen content blended with organic cotton makes it a very sustainable fiber option! Weight: DK Amount: 246 yds / 100g Fiber Content: 70% GOTS-certified organic cotton, 30% unbleached linen, 4-ply Origin: Peru & Belgium Water Use: Cotton is a thirsty crop, though some studies suggest organic cotton requires less water to grow than conventional cotton. Flax (from which linen is spun) requires much less water than cotton crops and can be grown on poor soil that is not suitable for grazing or other crops. Chemical & Pesticide Use: Organic cotton is grown free from synthetic pesticides, chemicals, or GMO seeds.
