This organic cotton weaving yarn produced by Maurice Brassard is an unbleached, natural shade and an excellent option for a variety of homewares and textiles. It's soft, machine washable and breathable, making it perfect for baby items, washcloths and cotton textile fabrics. Weave with this in its natural state or dye using fibre reactive dyes.
This is a laceweight yarn Ne 8/2 in size. Each spool weighs 1/2lb (227g).
Like many commercially grown crops around the world, cotton is commonly treated with a combination of pesticides, fungicides, insecticides and herbicides. Organic cotton is NOT. Organic cotton is produced on a much smaller scale and uses sustainable methods of agriculture.
