Debbie Bliss has worked with the finest Italian mills to develop her lovely "Eco Cotton" yarn as the premier yarn in her Fair Trade Collection. Authenticated as 100% organic through the BioRe textile chain, the cotton fiber is grown without the use of pesticides, chemical fertilizers or defoliants and is harvested by hand. Also the wide range of superb shades of "Eco Cotton" are achieved by using non-toxic, non-carcinogenic dyes, and all water is recycled and made drinkable. "Eco Cotton" is a sensational choice for your knitting & crochet projects this spring & summer, and you're taking care of the environment at the same time!
