Aurora – Fingering – 5 skeins per bag – 100% Organic Pima Cotton

Aurora – Soft, Breathable, and Ready to Dye with Pima Cotton

Aurora is a premium fingering-weight bare yarn made from 100% Organic Pima Cotton. Known for its exceptional softness and breathability, this yarn is perfect for lightweight lace projects, summer garments, and delicate shawls. Its smooth texture and natural sheen make it a joy to work with, whether you’re knitting, crocheting, or hand-dyeing.

When it comes to dyeing, cotton fibers (a cellulose fiber) differ from animal fibers like wool in how they absorb color. Cotton requires a more specialized dyeing process, typically with acid or reactive dyes, to achieve vibrant, rich colors. The result is a soft, vibrant finish that retains the airy, breathable qualities of cotton, making it ideal for lightweight garments that will be worn close to the skin.
