used to used this stuff, it is 4 strands
I'd unwrap it and put one or maybe two across the top before I snapped the chimney on...

Ecru is a french word that means raw, therefore in textiles refers to unbleached.

What's weird about this cotton yarn is that for it to be that beigy color it had to have been dyed because cotton straight from the plant is white. Hmmm

Yeah, hmmmmm......

I somehow don't think ecru still means that in english, more just a color designation.

I always thought it was what we did with our expenses at the end of each fiscal year.

@DingerCPA will surely get it. :facepalm:

I have a package of Texas Tuff Raw Organic cotton and it is beige in color.

To quote them:
"NEVER CHEMICALLY PROCESSED OR BLEACHED.TEXAS TUFF RAW ORGANIC COTTON IS STERILIZED WITH A PROPRIETARY METHOD USING ONLY HEAT AND PURE CLEAN WATER MAKING IT READY TO USE. THIS 100% U.S.A COTTON PRODUCT IS NOT ANOTHER RE MARKETED OR RE PURPOSED PRODUCT.TEXAS TUFF COTTON IS GROWN, HARVESTED AND PROCESSED WITH PREMIUM QUALITY AND HIGH PERFORMANCE IN MIND."

Compared to Rayon, the stuff is trash. :nah:
Compared to other cotton, I guess it's better... :D

    Hey, I laughed and I don't have any accounting background at all.
    Of course I sometimes have to "ecru" larger than normal customer debits over a couple months so it doesn't trash my departmental budget.
