bulky raw Foxfibre®Colorganic® yarn in skeins 7-8 oz skeins
10/2/5/2 - super bulky and very elastic- which is unusual for cotton yarns- that is for sure! At least 175 yards per skein. This raw yarn requires boiling to see it’s true color. And there are a variety of color combinations. Make sure the water is on the alkali side by adding a bit of baking soda or washing soda to your water. Or if you want to play with over dying with natural dyes, the water insoluble tannins in the brown yarns in this ply act as an inside-the-fiber mordant. While the water soluble tannin act as a mordant for the pima off white yarns. Skeins are 7-8 oz in weight and are in a variety of color combinations. I am offering them by primary color options, but they are not necessarily identical to each other. Natural dyers really enjoy these yarns as each natural color of cotton takes the natural dye differently. The last photos are of the raw skein next to a skein of its color combination boiled for 30 minutes. All of the Foxfibre®️Colorganic®️Cottons used in these yarns were grown on the farm that I once leased in Arizona in 1995. Spun at Athena Root Mill in Richmond, CA and plied in Los Angeles, CA.
