Naturally Colored and Unbleached Natural Yarns

American Maid Yarns

Naturally colored cotton

Our American Maid yarns are made from cotton that is grown in

colors other than the traditional white. The color is a part of the

fiber and therefore does not need dye to produce the colors.

The cotton is grown in the southwestern US, and spun here in

the United States. The cotton is produced by a consortium of

growers that are using sustainable farming practices such

as Integrated Pest Management, sensible water usage and

low chemical input. We are trying to support US grown and spun

cotton as much as we can these days. This cotton comes from

different seed stock than the Foxfiber yarns that we have carried

for years.This year, we have the American Maid yarns in Dark Brown and Light Brown. The Dark Brown yarn contains 100% brown lint, and the Light brown yarn contains 30% brown cotton lint mixed with 70% white cotton lint. We are planning to have these yarns available in dark and light green in the near future.

These yarns are currently available in size 10/2. Sett these 10/2 cotton yarns just like any others: 28 epi for twill, 24 epi for lace or plain weave. If you want to pair these yarns with naturals, choose 10/2 unmercerized. We have the yarns available individually on 1/2 lb or 1 lb cones or in kits. Click here to see the kits.

Unbleached Natural Cotton

These yarns have a soft off-white color. The mercerized yarns are exceptionally strong and smooth. Great for dyeing and painted warps, and perfect for overshot.

The unmercerized yarns are just what the towel doctor ordered. Pair them with our "Good Bye" colors for fabulous towels, throws and other cuddly fabrics.
