This Israeli Mako Cotton blend is unbelievably soft!  Mako cotton is picked by hand;manually hand-picking the cotton avoids the use of defoliants and other harsh chemical products that are commonly used for machinery designed for automatic plant-picking. Mako Cotton fibres are remarkably long (36 mm) and have a consistent index of 88.5%, and what makes it so limited is the fineness of its fibres, often measured in micronaire. Micronaire is between  3.0 and 3.2, and the strength of the brightness equivalent to 74.8 – the best among the list of exceedingly long staple cottons. Mako Cotton is produced in upper-Egypt; spun from a long staple fibre to develop a very fine premium quality cotton that is very durable.
A great choice for snuggly sweaters and cuddly blankets. hand-washing is recommended.
