A breath of fresh air for your needles. Biches & Bûches Le Petit Organic Cotton is a fingering-weight plant fiber that swaps the typical shine of mercerized cotton for a sophisticated, matte finish. Spun and dyed in Italy, it offers an exceptionally soft, natural touch and a rustic soul that feels more like an artist's textile than a standard utility yarn. It's the quintessential choice for high-summer knits that need to breathe as beautifully as they look.

Earth-Friendly Summer Staples

Le Petit Organic Cotton was developed for the knitter who wants the ease of cotton without sacrificing the "slow-stitch" feeling of a natural fiber. It is uniquely matte and slightly rustic, giving your finished summer tees and tanks a sophisticated, high-end look. It can be knit single-stranded for an airy drape or held double for a sturdier, DK-weight fabric—ideal for children's sweaters and year-round layers.
