Carstarphen The legendary cotton that produced Queen Victoria's handkerchiefs, so light they could float in the air like a feather; is available for knitters exclusively through Patternworks. Authentic Sea Island Cotton is the luxurious cashmere of cotton. Its 50% longer staple length and its finer, more uniform texture and greater overall strength make it possible to spin an incredibly fine, lightweight yarn with great strength, silky luster and incredibly soft feel. It's the perfect yarn for shawls, scarves and baby things. Even knitters who never before liked working with cotton have found this yarn a rare pleasure to knit with because it knits more like wool. 100% certified Sea Island Cotton lace weight on size 0 to 8 needles 1300 yards machine wash
