Kelbourne Woolens Skipper is a 4-ply 100% un-mercerized cotton yarn, perfect for knitting, crochet, and crafts. Skipper is made of Peruvian Tanguis cotton, a long staple cotton that is soft – but not too soft – and very strong.
A delight to work with, its variable gauge makes Skipper ideal for baby garments, summery tees, amigurumi, accessories, or whatever else you’re hoping to create!
Tanguis cotton is absorbent and wicks moisture from perspiration better than normal cotton. Its long staple fiber length is more resistant to pilling and fluffing off on your hands as you work, and is less prone to wrinkling, too! Tanguis cotton was developed to be more resistant to cotton wilt, and as a result is more environmentally friendly. We love Skipper and know you will, too!
