Description

This Organic Upland Cotton is natural and unbleached.

Sold by the half pound.

Premium organic cotton fiber, prepared and ready to spin. We offer it in either carded or combed sliver.

Combed cotton fiber is silky with all the fiber aligned. It is more challenging to spin.

Carded cotton fiber is lofty and fuzzy; a little better for beginner cotton spinners, and will produce a homespun natural looking yarn.

The most lofty, easy to spin cotton we carry is the Sea Island Easy to Spin Cotton.
