PERUVIAN ORGANIC COTTON

card sliver

Tanguis, Mauve, Cafe, Chocolate, Avocado

100 gram kit, $20

Four Color Souvenir, $7.50

The souvenir is between index card and postcard size, about a 4" length of each of the colors, and does not include the Tanguis.

I find that boiling these cottons barely changes their color, and the alkaline wash that darkens the colored cottons we have been spinning for the last fifteen or so years only saddens these bright colors. 
These cottons are the originals--they are not new, only newly available to us. The staple length is about 1/2", and they spin like a dream. (Well, I spin on a charkha...)
