Thantex 10/2 is a fine yarn All cones are 12oz for $13.50) $18 for a pound (I can wind any amount of ounces up to 1 pound cones) 10/2 is a fine yarn, usually used for weaving at 4200 ypp. It is usually set at 20-28 epi. I probably will not hand knit with this yarn, but it will work beautifully with knitting machines. 20/2 oatmeal 10/2, 8/2 and 20/2 Natural 20/2 Buffalo

"Today I boiled my latest 5 towels (left one out so I could see
the color changes) for 40 minutes then I added them to a white load on HOT in
my washer, adding also 1/2 cup of washing soda with the detergent . . .After
they went through the entire cycle and then two more hot rinses, my towels
came out much more full of color than the ones I brought last month to the
Guild meeting. I promptly ran upstairs to my studio and grabbed up my first
batch and tossed them into the washer for the same treatment. WHAT a change
. . . I am thrilled, just can't believe how vibrant they are now. Really I
do think the final soda wash and hot rinses kept the "raw cotton wax" in
suspension and it is now so completely gone that the colors are finally what I
hoped for. ...my towels ....are now SO much deeper (in color). You can
tell I am still having fun with this whole thing.
Later,
Marianne"
