Our PE (production excess) cotton comes in periodically from various sources (usually every 4-5 months). Even though this is a very high quality yarn, it may vary slightly in color shade from cone to cone even if it is the same name.
The PE Cotton Yarns that we offer are a mixture of ring-spun and open-end spun as well as reactive and direct dyed. Sometimes they are listed in the color chip if they are RS or OE, but not always. We will send what we have and each new shipment contains a new mixture.
"Bumberet" Pattern sett at 20 ends per inch.
(Handwoven Mar/Apr 2015)
I wasn't sure about the absorbency of these beautiful towels because of the "open-end" spun fibers that produced a somewhat "dense" finished towel. But after washing and drying, I was pleasantly surprised how super absorbent they were! As soon as the towel touched a puddle of water, it immediately absorbed it!
This yarn would also make nice placemats & table runners. It has great stability and lays beautifully on the table!
