Dale of Norway Stork

Stork is an ultra soft and uniform, long staple cotton yarn. It is in sport weight and is dyed in soft, solid colours. Cultivated mainly in the Nile River Valley in Egypt, this grade of cotton produces the longest and strongest fiber, and is considered one of the best cotton in the world. Stork is suitable for hand and machine knitting, crochet, and other kinds of needlework. All-year-round knitwear and accessories, in all possible styles and forms, from lingerie to long-sleeved sweaters are suitable. * The majority of recently produced Egyptian cotton is a long staple cotton variety called Giza 86.

Known facts: Highly prized Egyptian cotton is produced from a hybrid plant, which did not originate in Egypt, and actually came from South America and has Peruvian genes. More information »
Did you know? We think of cotton as white, but that was largely a commercial decision that came about after Eli Whitney's invention of the cotton gin in 1793. White cotton - actually a pale grey in the pod - could more easily be manipulated for consistency during the bleaching process.
