Sea Island Cotton 2×16/2ne

£97.00 £87.30

This gorgeous extra long staple (ELS) cotton is one of the finest and rarest cottons in the world. It’s exceptionally soft and the natural colour is a beautiful cream. Incredibly difficult to find at retail, we are proud to work with a world class mill to make the finest cotton in the world available to handweavers and other artists. It dyes like a dream and feels like a cloud. The most common feedback from weavers is that they couldn’t believe how soft and silky it is until they felt it for themselves. It defies description.

This is a 2×16/2ne yarn to achieve a final count of 4, an equivalent thickness of 8/2ne. This is suitable for warping at a sett appropriate to 8/2 yarns and comes in 875g cones.
