EKO Certified Organic by Control Union/SKAL & Certified FairTrade. This Fifo is slightly more brown than the Ecobutterfly Fifo used in the 2014 Purple Club Shipment, yet still is classified as a shade of purple. Pakucho cottons are incredibly soft and light, easy to knit, and are a great choice for babies, children, and those with sensitivities.
This yarn has a 10-15% shrinkage in the length if you machine dry it and it may get a bit darker with repeated machine drying. If you want to avoid shrinkage, wash in cool water and lay flat to dry.

NOTE: The colors are more muted then the standard Pakucho yarns, especially the greens. This allows you to keep the color as is or deepen it with hot and/or machine drying. You have the choice!
