Fil 'dEcosse / Mercerised Cotton Lisle

For Fil d'Ecosse socks (also called Cotton Lisle socks) Pantherella use the finest Italian sourced, extra-long staple Egyptian grown cotton.  

The extra-long staple determines the highest quality of cotton, as it uses uniform lengths of fibres of over 33 mm.

This yarn is composed of two strands that are twisted together with an extra twist per inch than lesser quality cottons, creating one single, strong thread.  

Once spun, the cotton goes through a process of Mercerisation whereby it is passed through a flame at high speed, to eliminate any stray surface fibres.  

The result is a shiny, shrink & pill resistant yarn that absorbs dye brilliantly while maintaining its silky lustre.
