Calypso: 80 % cotton, 20% rayon 8oz/

= 4" # 15

blend perfect for summer in the north or for those who don't care for

fabulous throw or baby blanket! I threw a large swatch into the machine
and dryer with other clothes, with no loss of color intensity or shrinkage.
Calypso is available in all of our
hand dyed colors; here is a nice sampling:
