Fiber Content: 100% organic pima cotton 2-ply
Origin: Peru
Water Use: Cotton is a thirsty crop, though some studies suggest organic cotton requires less water to grow than conventional cotton.  
Chemical & Pesticide Use: Organic cotton is grown free from synthetic pesticides, chemicals, or GMO seeds. 
Characteristics: Sandy Point brings all the softness and sustainability of organic cotton to the table with a touch of subtle luster from the long-staple pima fibers, which increase durability and reduce the chance of pilling. The firm 2-ply twist resists splitting and the yarn has a soft but reasonably grippy hand. It is appropriate for any project that would also suit Chesapeake Organic Cotton--vegan sweaters, baby items, cotton colorwork, and anything summer. It does not have elasticity (will not hold its shape for items like socks or negative-ease garments).
