This listing is for 50g green Pima easyspin cotton sliver.
This cotton is imported from the USA and is processed for handspinners. It is easyspin as the crimp has been retained in the fibre unlike most other cottons on the market. It is much easier to spin too, and is excellent for beginners to spinning this fibre.
This cotton is also grown in an earth friendly manner which reduces the amount of pesticides, herbicides and irrigation necessary to grow the plants.
The green cotton appears lighter, but upon finishing, soak in some alkali and it’ll turn a lovely earthy avocado green!!
The preparation is directional so one end will spin easier than the other.
We recommend only spinning cotton using a supported longdraw technique.
Exceptionally nice cotton and even more special as we are the only place in the UK who currently stocks this cotton (to our knowledge).
