Summer has arrived with Tillie. This lightweight yarn with amazing drape has an undeniable silk feel, as it is spun with a fiber called cupro. Cupro is a sustainable byproduct of cotton processing that has the feel & drape of silk.
The cupro is blended with breathable Pima cotton in this DK weight yarn. The yarn is then hand-dyed which gives the skeins a gorgeous tonal quality for knits that have amazing depth & a resort feel. A chain construction ensures that garments & accessories maintain shape.
Machine washable & easy to care for, the yarn comes in a curated collection of tonal, tropical colors that will bring the vacation to you! A wonderful yarn for short sleeve tops, textured tank tops, cardigans, resort pullovers & sophisticated wraps.
