Pickles Organic Cotton

Organic and plant dyed!

Cotton yarn. Pickles Organic Cotton is a beautiful plant-dyed artisan yarn from Peru. The way it's spun with one thick and one thin thread means that the soft cotton fibers really come into their own, and the garments you knit can of course be worn directly on the skin. It's also great for baby blankets We knit it on 3.5 mm to 5 mm needles with a single strand, or on thicker needles with a trailing strand. The fibers come from Peru, and the production of this yarn helps to create a sustainable livelihood for families in the poorest parts of Peru. The yarn is completely free of toxins, organically grown and plant-dyed with local plants.   100% organic plant-dyed cotton from Peru | 50 g hesper (must be balled up) | 90 meters | Knit on 3 - 7 mm needles | Gauge per 10 cm: 12 - 21 stitches / 16 - 26 rows | Hand wash  

Knitting Patterns and Yarn Kits

Pickles Organic Cotton is perfect for patterns knitted on needles from 3 mm to 5 mm. The color palette is made from local plants, so the yarn should be washed carefully to preserve the colors. It won't shrink if you boil it, but the colors may darken. They can also be bleached by the sun, so be careful with your garments. If you are unsure whether Pickles Organic Cotton is suitable for your knitting project, you can send us an email or a message on instagramand we will help you further!   Here you will find all our knitting patterns and yarn kits made in the yarn.   We recommend hand washing in lukewarm/cold water, but you can centrifuge the garment (make sure you don't set the rinse program, only the centrifuge) to get the most out of the water. Then lay the garment straight on the floor and stretch/block it into the shape you want. The garment will dry in a few hours.
