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."
