100% organically grown cotton Handwritten is a classic "gima" yarn, which means "linen" in Japanese and suggests that its fine, flat ribbon construction has the smooth, lustrous appearance of linen. Handwritten's crispness gives hand knits more volume and dimension than you might expect from a laceweight yarn... A distinctive and highly rewarding knitting experience! Handwritten can be knit on small needles or on larger needles with a more open gauge to give its unique texture room to be appreciated. Although we no longer sell this yarn, we do have some great Handwritten substitutes. Check out our yarns with similar gauge and fiber!
