Sea Island Cotton
The world’s finest cotton
Sea Island Cotton has been the foundation of Spoerry’s rare and precious top-quality yarns for over 150 years. The choice fibres are cultivated exclusively on the British West Indies islands in the Caribbean and picked by hand. True to its quality commitment, Spoerry 1866, in cooperation with local farmers, maintains its own plantation and fibre processing plant in the Caribbean.
The Black Seed
Spoerry’s Original Sea Island cotton
The seed of Sea Island cotton, Gossypium Barbadense, better known as ‘black seed’, is a strain that is clearly different from all other types of cotton. It produces the longest fibres in the world, with pile lengths of more than 50 mm – 20% longer than any other fine cotton fibres. This ensures a perfect yarn structure, low felting tendency and clear weave pattern.
