Sandy Point Organic Pima Cotton - Sport Weight
Sandy Point brings all the softness and sustainability of organic cotton to the table with a touch of subtle luster from the long-staple pima fibers, which increase durability and reduce the chance of pilling.
The firm 2-ply twist resists splitting and the yarn has a soft but grippy hand. It is appropriate for any project that would also suit Chesapeake Organic Cotton--vegan sweaters, baby items, cotton colorwork, and anything summer.
It does not have elasticity (will not hold its shape for items like socks or negative-ease garments). The color comes out similar to our Chesapeake line, but with a touch of glow..
