{"product_id":"skipper","title":"Skipper","description":"\u003cp\u003eSkipper is a 4-ply 100% un-mercerized cotton yarn, perfect for knitting, crochet, and crafts. Skipper is made of Peruvian Tanguis cotton, a long staple cotton that is soft – but not too soft – and very strong. A delight to work with, its variable gauge makes it ideal for baby garments, summery tees, amigurumi, accessories, or whatever else you’re hoping to create!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen designing Skipper, we wanted quality and a softness that stands up to the test of time, wear, and our wallets. The clear winner is Tanguis cotton, which we think is the best cotton fiber available on the market for yarn production. Tanguis cotton is absorbent and wicks moisture from perspiration much better than normal cotton, so you can wear natural, breathable garments without synthetic high-tech fibers. Its long, but not too long, staple fiber length is more resistant to pilling and fluffing off on your hands as you work, and is less prone to wrinkling, too!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTanguis cotton was developed to be more resistant to cotton wilt, and as a result is more environmentally friendly! It requires less water to grow in Peru’s climate, and can be harvested up to six times per year. About 80% of the cotton grown in Peru is Tanguis cotton, making it readily available and its use supports existing farms and infrastructure, an important consideration when developing new products for the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr\u003eFiber Content    100% Tanguis Cotton\u003cbr\u003eLength    137 yards (125 meters) \/ 50 gram ball\u003cbr\u003eGauge    22-26 sts = 4” (10 cm)\u003cbr\u003eNeedles    US 2-4 (2.75-3.5 mm)\u003cbr\u003eCare    Machine or hand wash cool, lay flat to dry\u003cbr\u003eOrigin    Peru\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan id=\"docs-internal-guid-c37263ea-7fff-f411-131d-451cdd6ba6d5\"\u003eWe will happily wind your yarn for a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/freemans-creative.myshopify.com\/products\/skein-winding-fee\"\u003eSkein Winding Fee\u003c\/a\u003e of $1 per skein.
