1 ply Pima cotton wrapped by a fine silk thread, machine or hand dyed. Extremely soft and light; perfect for any Season.
Made in Italy.

Two-ply twisted yarn of which one thread, a coarser one, is Peruvian Pima cotton, the other a very fine thread of fine silk.

The twisting between a coarser and finer yarn creates a wavy product similar to frisé yarns.

Hand dyeing creates delicate colours that cannot be reproduced industrially. The hand dyed version of this yarn is discontinued.
