1 oz Organic Texas Upland Cotton Sliver. USA Grown Fiber. Carded & Combed

Description

This listing is for 1 ounce Certified Organic Texas Upland Cotton Carded & Combed Sliver.
This Certified Organic Cotton is from an organic cotton cooperative in Texas that was then sent to a US mill to be organically processed into sliver form. The process takes the organic cotton, opens and cleans the fibers. The fibers are "carded" and arranged into the lovely sliver offered here. The 'carded/combed" sliver is the "carded" sliver which has gone through an additional step of removing the shorter fibers and aligning the longer fibers for better uniformity and strength. Drafts and spins beautifully.
This naturally grown sliver is great for carding, spinning, knitting, felting --- the list goes on and on the many things you can make with the cotton roving. Have fun using this cellulose fiber to create unique art batts by mixing the cotton with other fibers like hemp or go wild and mix it with protein fibers such as wool and silk. Cotton can add color and strength to your spinning projects. Or on its own it is thought to have great "breath-ability" properties with its water absorption.
This roving is ready to ship now.
♻ Have fun upcycling this into your new project. ♻
