These 4-ply yarns are made from the same cotton as our Naturally Colored American Maid™ yarns.   They are available in Dark and Light Brown, Dark and Light Green.

The brown and green colored cotton yarns become darker when washed, especially in alkaline water.  The green cotton is a soft brownish green until you wash it.  Then the color deepens to a sage green.  Add baking or washing soda to the warm wash water and watch the color deepen.  The first wash water is often pretty dirty because when you wash it, it is the yarn’s first bath!  You are washing off the dirt from the fields as well as any oils or dirt from the processing.  Click here to see washing instructions.

We purchase the cotton lint from the cotton growers and then tend the fiber all the way through its processing into yarn.  Each year we make purchasing choices to make our yarns as sustainable as we can.  See our sustainable story here.
