Grow Your Own Cotton

Hey spinners, want to reduce your spindle’s environmental footprint further? You can cultivate your own color-grown cotton (in natural brown or olive green) by sowing seeds from Southern Exposure. Sheep, angora rabbits, and even pet alpacas are so 2005! Transform yourself into a plantation princess, throw “Fiddle-dee-dee” around like a punctuation mark, drape yourselve in luxurious curtains, and finally have a reason to learn the lyrics of “Summertime” by heart! With God as your witness, YOU’LL NEVER BE WITHOUT FIBER AGAIN!
You can also get your seeds via Local Harvest. The coolness factor is making me dizzier than a disco-loving jackrabbit on roller skates.

Hmmph. Cannot ship to Georgia or California indeed!

I wonder if it’s hard to grow cotton… I’m really tempted. Even though I prefer alpaca for knitting…
