Sami Peruvian Pima Cotton | Amano

Sami by Amano is made from 100% organic Pima cotton. Sami cotton yarn is incredibly versatile, exceptionally soft and luxurious, yet wonderfully easy to care for. Sami by Amano has a beautiful drape and feels like no other cotton we have tried. The DK weight of Sami pima cotton also allows you to use it for patterns requiring a heavier weight of natural fibre without having to hold anything double. The cotton was harvested, spun, and dyed in Peru aSami means "friendliness" in Quechua (the language of the Inca)

About Amano

For thousands of years, the inhabitants of the Andes have offered precious gifts to the Inca gods. Amano yarns are rooted in the traditions, colors, and deities of the Andean peoples, yet simultaneously contemporary and luxurious. Each skein of Amano yarn tells a story, and the exquisite materials are a gift from the Inca gods to the people of the Andean region. The finest Imperial Alpaca, soft Pima cotton, and even vicuña (the softest fiber in the world) can be found here, all sustainably and carefully sourced and spun locally in Peru
