Skipper has changed my mind about cotton
Skipper is soft, the perfect amount of squish/loft, and the stitch definition is gorgeous. One skein goes a long way, too. Love this yarn.

Wonderfully Soft Cotton
I recently found out about this type of cotton. Did a swatch & it's so soft. Looking forward to making a summer top.
Definitely would order this again from this yarn store!

Great cotton option
I don’t like cotton typically, but making a gift for my vegan friend! Very happy with this one.
