Very nice! You're inspiring me to get to my homework. I'm having trouble with cotton. I'll get it, but I'm annoyed with it right now....especially ginned cotton :-(

Ginned cotton is not meant to be exact so just go with the flow and let the nubs and noils go in without thinking about it... relax that's the key! It means for a very textured yarn... It'll be lovely I'm sure and yes you will get it in the end... : )
