Manifattura Sesia · Bio Papiro 1600 · 1600m/100g (1749yds/3.5oz) · 100% Cotton (Co)

Bio Papiro is a dry, crisp cotton yarn with a paper-like hand and a clean, flat profile. The thread has very little elasticity and a structured feel, creating a fabric that holds shape well and highlights clean lines and minimal textures.

Due to its firmness and low stretch, Bio Papiro is intended to be worked from a minimum of three strands, where it gains balance, stability, and improved drape while retaining its characteristic crisp surface.

The finished fabric feels cool to the touch, breathable, and architectural, making this yarn especially suitable for summer garments, structured tops, and accessories.
