This yarn is almost like a shiny linen. It has a light feel to it, and is slightly more airy than our Pima cotton. For the best colour uptake, see notes on dyeing cellulose fibres. We recommend Procion MX, fibre-reactive or natural dyes for this yarn. This yarn knits up into a delightful, drapey fabric with a soft sheen. Cupro is a really interesting fibre, made from the stalks and leaves of the cotton plant, that would otherwise be wasted.
