How the yarn behaves

Fine plied long-staple cotton with a matt surface. Knits up clean and dry-feeling, with crisp stitch edges and very little stretch — like a textbook cotton in miniature. The plied construction reduces splitting compared with single-spun cottons, so lace and cables stay neat. Drapes when blocked, though garments stay structural rather than flowy. Softens and gains a little fluid feel after washing. Machine washable; dry flat to stop weight pulling the fabric. Swatch washed before sizing fitted pieces.
