Fiber: 100% Tanguis Cotton · Made in Peru Weight: Sport Yardage: 137 yards / 50g Gauge: 22–26 sts = 4" on US 2–4 Care: Machine wash cool · Lay flat to dry Cotton done right is a different thing entirely. Skipper is made from Peruvian Tanguis cotton — a long-staple variety grown specifically because it's better than regular cotton in almost every way. Softer. Stronger. More resistant to pilling. Actually absorbent, so it wicks moisture instead of just sitting on your skin. And because Tanguis cotton was bred to resist cotton wilt, it uses less water and supports the Peruvian farming communities that grow it. The result is a 4-ply sport-to-DK weight yarn that knits up clean and crisp, holds its shape, and goes in the washing machine without drama. Baby garments, summer tees, market bags, amigurumi, accessories — Skipper does all of it well.
