Pickles Thin Organic Cotton

Organic and plant dyed!

Cotton yarn. Pickles Organic Cotton is a beautiful plant-dyed artisan yarn from Peru. The way it's spun with one thick and one thin thread allows the soft cotton fibers to really shine, and the garments you knit can of course be worn directly on the skin. It's also lovely for baby blankets. We knit it on size 3.5-5 mm/US 4-8 needles with a single strand, or on bigger needles together with a companion thread. The fibers come from Peru, and the production of this yarn contributes to creating a sustainable livelihood for families in the poorest parts of Peru. The yarn is completely free from toxins, organically grown, and plant-dyed with local vegetation. 100% organic plant colored cotton from Peru | 50 g hanks (must be unwinded) | 90 m / 98 y | 3-7 mm / US 3-10 needles | Gauge for 10 cm / 4"= 12 - 21 stitches / 16 - 26 rows | Hand wash

Patterns and yarn kits

Pickles Thin Organic Cotton is perfect for patterns knit on needles ranging from 3 mm to 5 mm. The color palette is made from local vegetation, so the yarn should be washed gently to preserve the colors. It won't shrink if you boil wash it, but the colors may become more muted. They can also be bleached by the sun, so be careful with your garments.

We recommend hand washing garments in cold or luke warm water, but you can put it on a spin cycle afterwards (please make sure that you do not use a rinse cycle, only spin cycle) to extract water. Then lay the garment flat on the floor and stretch/block it in the shape you want. The garment will dry in a few hours.
