We’re hitting our stride with planning our spring and summer makes – and just in time, Big Cotton by Loopy Mango has landed in space! Big Cotton is a lusciously soft, super-chunky, machine washable (and dryable!!) yarn. This yarn is great for people with wool allergies and for warmer climates. Cotton is a plant fiber, making Big Cotton yarn 100% vegan. Absolutely delightful to work with, Big Cotton makes stitching up those on-trend oversized garments both easy and quick!
