Spin your own cotton yarn! Luscious colors of cotton available to spin into your very own fiber. Sustainably grown cotton from California and New Mexico. The brown and green color is part of the cotton lint so it actually gets darker as you wash it.
This EZ-Spin Cotton sliver was originally developed by Joan Ruane. It is specially prepared with handspinners in mind. The natural crimp in the cotton fiber is left in the sliver, and it is wonderful to spin.
Cotton sliver has a definite direction that makes the spinning process smoother, while the opposite end creates more slubs. If you are having difficulty spinning, try the other end.
Soaking in hot water with a little detergent for about 30 minutes will set the twist and clean the cotton. If you want to scour the yarn to either make it more absorbant or to dye it, boil the cotton yarn for 15-20 minutes with a little detergent. Rinse and enjoy your yarn!
