Mandarin Petit is our thinnest cotton quality. The yarn is 100% plant-based. Cotton has the ability to easily absorb moisture, making it ideal for the production of scarves and summer clothing. Cotton does not itch, which makes it a good choice for anyone who finds pure wool uncomfortable. We recommend washing all hand-knitted garments separately for the gentlest treatment. The tear resistance of wet cotton increases, allowing hand-knitted cotton items to be washed at higher temperatures. Gently spin dry and lay the garment flat to dry, preferably on a towel. Yardage per ball = approximately 180 meters.
