This practice also delivers a finer cotton with a clean appearance & soft hand. With smooth, neat stitch definition, Whimbrel is lovely for baby knits, tanks, tees, & cardigans. It is cool & breathable with a nice drape. *A note about Quince dyed cotton: Some colors may show dye runoff during blocking or washing, especially with highly saturated colors; this is normal.
