Lion Brand Yarn Nature’s Choice Organic Cotton
Cozy up with an American-made bulky fiber that makes quick work of large projects like beautiful afghans, baby blankets, throws, and shawls. Consider smaller projects for hats, scarves, or fingerless gloves because of its oh-so-soft feel. The yarn consists of 100-percent organic cotton, grown and spun without the use of pesticides, herbicides, or other agrochemicals. Not only does it offer a consistency that handles well, but it also provides peace of mind for the finished piece and for the planet. Even more, the dyes used to create the color meet the Global Organic Textile Standards established by the Institute of Marketecology. As needed, hand wash completed projects in warm or cool water, then dry flat, not in a machine. The knitting gauge: 16 stitches by 21 rows equals 4 inches (10 cm) on size 9 (5-1/2 mm) needles; the crochet gauge: 10 single crochets by 12 rows equals 4 inches (10 cm) on a size J-10 (6 mm) hook. Available in a variety of shades, the skein of yarn supplies 103 yards (3 ounces/85 grams) and measures approximately 3 by 3 by 7-1/2 inches.
Go ahead and stitch Green or any of the other luscious shades in which Nature¿s Choice Organic Cotton is available.
