Tillie is a luxurious hand-dyed yarn made of pima cotton and cupro, a sustainable silk-like by-product of cotton processing. Tillie’s chainette construction creates a lightweight yarn with generous yardage, along with amazing softness and structure. Made in Peru, this cotton blend has a gorgeous drape, smooth feel, and long-lasting durability. Plus it’s machine washable!
