Kits with Naturally Colored Yarns
The New Crop is Here!
We have kits made from yarns that are grown in colors! The cotton lint on the plant grows in brown and green. The magical property that these yarns have is that they darken when exposed to heat and alkaline baths. So, as you wash them and dry them in your dryer, the yarns actually get darker rather than fade. How fabulous is that?
We have our own line of these yarns, called American Maid, that are grown in the southwestern US, and spun here in the United States. We are trying to support US grown and spun cotton as much as we can these days. This cotton comes from different seed stock than the Foxfiber yarns that we have carried for years. As of May 2012, we have the American Maid yarns in Dark and Light Brown as well as Dark and Light Green. The Dark Shades contain 100% colored lint, and the Light shades contain 33% brown cotton lint mixed with 66% white cotton lint.
