It is breathable and highly absorbent. The yarn is also exceptionally durable and resistant to pilling. With this organic cotton yarn, you can knit or crochet beautiful tops, sweaters, cardigans, and accessories for every season and for the whole family.

You can find the knitting patterns shown in the photos on Katia’s website. For the women’s striped sweater (EU size 40 | M) you will need 6 balls, for the men’s long-sleeved sweater (sizes M-L-XL-XXL) a total of 10-11-12-13 balls, and for the child’s cardigan (sizes 2-4-6-8-10 years) 4-4-5-6-7 balls.

Fair Cotton yarn is designed in Spain, the organic cotton used in it comes from India and Tanzania, and the yarn is spun in Italy.

Fair Cotton is produced according to the principles of the bioRe project. The bioRe Foundation is a sustainability and fair-trade initiative established in 1997 that promotes organic cotton farming in India and Tanzania. It guides farming families toward ecologically sustainable agriculture through natural farming methods and non-GMO seeds.
