This yarn is an “environmentally responsible, recycled yarn" from fabric. It has been spun from recycled dyed fabric scraps to eliminate waste from landfills; no additional dye has been added. We were very happy to have the opportunity to obtain this yarn. There is a limited supply available and when it’s gone, it’s gone! This is NOT an item we will be stocking on a regular basis.
Please note that this yarn has a “heritage” look and feel as a result of the repurposing process. The 8/4 is not quite as strong as our Natural 8/4 but should be suitable for a warp that does not require excessive tension.

Sample of 8/8 Eco-Cotton
Sett is 10 epi; 15.75" in reed; plain weave.
Sample: "Milky" with "Dark Platinum" down the middle and assorted accent colors on each side.
Total take-up and shrinkage was about 20% in width as well as length.
The end result is a very sturdy runner that behaves nicely on the table.
