Jody stumbled across this yarn in an Italian spinner's booth and fell in love with it. They referred to it as "vegan cashmere" because this supremely soft & plush yarn is soft as cashmere, but vegan containing no animal fibers - spun from soft delicious long fiber cotton. Creates beautifully comfortable knits for both baby & mum; and soft as Peter Rabbit's tail - Jody decided to call this fun yarn "Cotton Tails".
