Sea Island cotton is one of the most valuable and costly cotton varieties. It is known for its silky feel, luster and long 1 ¾ inch staple. Stonehill is excited to be the exclusive U.S. distributor for this rare, certified West Indian cotton fiber. We carry combed top sliver for your hand-spinning pleasure and projects. Commercially it is used in the production of very high quality textiles. I think it will add excitement to your work. Cost of combed sliver is $25/ 8 oz. Best spun with the Long Draw.
Here are some comments: "It is unbelievable, so light, airy, silky and exotic." "It is like bombyx silk but also reminds me of rabbit angora."
