this amazing cotton yarn is truly green. spun from heirloom cotton plants saved from the brink of extinction, these yarns have not been dyed. each colour is the natural colour of the cotton plant-- who knew there was a range at all, let alone such a lovely one? no harsh chemicals were used in the processing of this yarn, hence it is ideal for children and babies' sensitive skins. it is lovely to work with not just for its soft hand-- so great to know that your choice is gentle to the earth as well. this lovely earthy green is so nice in a lacy sweater or shawl, or for that matter in a baby's room- an amazing colour especially given its origins! 21 sts=10cm on 3.5mm 50g, 100m
