Why is Pima cotton better?
Pima cotton owes its name "silk of South America" to its silky-fine, particularly long fibers. It is precisely these exceptionally long fibers that make it one of the highest quality cotton yarns available.
Pima cotton is particularly widespread in Peru. But we source ours even closer - from Egypt. It is extremely resistant to fungal infestation and requires less pesticide treatment. This protects the fibers and the environment.
Your advantages:
- Feels extremely pleasant and soft on the skin
- Particularly long fibers

Softer than any other cotton
Pima cotton feels extremely pleasant and softer on the skin than other cotton, but is still hard-wearing.
It is precisely this softness that makes the big difference in textiles such as socks, underwear and T-shirts that are worn directly on the skin. Pima cotton ensures maximum comfort and a supple material.

Goodbye lint!
The Pima cotton used has extra long fibers. These fibers do not come loose when the yarn is spun, so that no lint (also known as pilling) can form.
The material remains durable even in a warm and humid climate and under the influence of friction. Your socks, underwear and T-shirts retain their perfect fit even after repeated washing.
