Baby Cotton Organic Mercerized is an incredibly strong, shinier version of our organic superstar: Baby Cotton.
Mercerizing makes cotton yarn shiny, it keeps its shape and doesn’t shrink in the wash. The yarn becomes extremely durable and more resistant to mold. The wonderful depth of color is also characteristic of mercerized cotton. Since the fibers can absorb more color, the result is a much more intense and lasting color.
The entire line of Hobbii Baby Cotton is spun from long, flexible fibers from the finest Egyptian cotton and it is vegan as well. But this mercerized version is something special indeed!
Mercerizing is a complex process that, among other things, includes immersion in a strong base. But Baby Cotton Organic Mercerized is produced in a new, more sustainable fashion than the traditional process. In specialized plants, the reusable alkali from old batteries is extracted, and these are reused to mercerize our Baby Cotton. That way, precious materials are reused in a new, beneficial way.
The yarn is GOTS certified (Nr. ICEA-TX-273), guaranteeing that it meets strict environmental and social criteria from raw material harvesting to responsible manufacturing. Produced with care for the environment, it contains no chemical pesticides or artificial fertilizers. Learn more about the certification at: https://www.global-standard.org/
