Naturally colored cotton has been grown in Peru for over 5,000
years, which is the the oldest recorded tradition of spinning
and weaving in human history. The cotton is grown today in naturally
occurring colors such as natural, beige, cafe, vicuna, chocolate,
and avocado green. No dyes, chemicals or other synthetic processes
have been used to grow, soften, or color the fibers of these original
fabric creations.
Hand or machine wash warm, rinse cool. Dry flat or gently tumble
dry to almost dry and finish flat, allowing 10-15% shrinkage in
length for partial tumble-drying. Organic colors will intensify
with washing. Because these yarns are produced by artisans, the
approximate yardage of Pakucho cotton may vary.
Knitty has several patterns online: Jamesey
(a man's sweater) and Topi
(a knitted cap). You can find a good review of this yarn at Knitter's
