Tulip Cotton is as full of life and vivacity as the blooms that bear the same name! This 100% organically grown Turkish cotton yarn has a refined texture, a wonderful matte finish, and a palpable beauty. Turkish cotton is made from long-staple fibers and is strong, smooth, and grows softer with age and wear. Spun and dyed in Italy, Tulip Cotton is an unmercerized worsted weight yarn made out of 28 very fine plies, a construction that creates a durable, pill-free fabric. Oh, and it's machine wash- and dry-able, too! Although we no longer sell this yarn, we do have lots of great Tulip Cotton substitutes. Check out our yarns with similar gauge and fiber!
