Galler Yarns recently contacted a handful of bloggers to see if we’d like to be a part of the blog yarn tour for their Inca Eco Cotton Yarn. That blog tour has been going on nicely; Me ha encantado ver lo que todo el mundo escribió acerca de su experiencia con el hilo. Y ahora es mi turno. Here’s an overview of the yarn and my succinct ten word review (my new yarn review signature).
Sobre el hilo
Inca Eco is an organic cotton thick-and-thin yarn that is imported from Peru. The skeins, which are sold wholesale (store locator here), are 640 yardas.
El color de la I Used
This yarn comes undyed or in various dyed colors, mostly earthy tones. I used a beautiful dusty blue. The color is consistent throughout the skein. Precioso.
What I Crocheted
I knew that I wanted to use this organic yarn to make a natural organic vase for my home. I made one, filled it with potpourri, topped it with a feather (until I can get a great fake rose) and added it to a vignette on my fireplace mantle.

- Organic
- Natural
- Soft (so incredibly soft)
- Boucle (it’s not, but the thick and thin nature of it makes it almost like a boucle in cotton)
- Cozy
- Eco-friendly
- Luxurious
- Local (an odd choice, Sé, but Galler Yarns is sold in at least two of my LYS so it feels local)
- Sí (I do recommend it!)
