2 Peruvian Cotton
A variety of cotton grown in Peru of good staple and both hard and soft nature. Best adapted for mixing. The hard variety is known as " Rough Peruvian " and the soft as " Soft Peruvian." Both sorts have a staple about 11/16-in. and the rough variety is largely used for mixing with wool, which it closely resembles. The smooth mixes well with American, up to 50's counts, and is much used for soft hosiery yarns. -
3 Smooth Peruvian Cotton
A variety of cotton grown in Peru and very similar to the Orleans variety (see Peruvian cotton). It has a soft smooth feel, but the staple is not so strong as rough Peruvian.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Smooth Peruvian Cotton

4 Cotton (Peru)
Peru produces on an average about 250,000 bales of cotton per annum. There are three varieties grown very different from each other in their general characteristics Peruvian Sea Islands - This is an inferior Sea Islands cotton; and though it has a fairly long staple and a silky appearance it is more irregular, both as to colour and length of staple than the pure Sea Islands grown in the United States It has a length of about 13/8-in Rough Peruvian - This is a harsh wiry cotton, with a staple of about 11/4-in. It is an indigenous variety, and is the product of a perennial plant, which attains a height of about 10 feet. On account of its very harsh fibre this cotton is used chiefly or mixing with wool, with which it has some properties in common Smooth Peruvian - Smooth Peruvian is a soft class of cotton, very similar to American from which cotton it is not improbably descended. It constitutes about 70 per cent of the crop. Staple 11/8-in. -
5 South American Cotton
Chiefly Brazilian and Peruvian. These cottons rank third in quality among those used in large quantities, following after Sea Islands and Egyptian. The cotton is marketed under the following names: Tanguis, Pernams (Pernambuco), Maranhams, Parahyba, Ceara, Maceio, Aracaju, Rio Grande, Bahia and Santos. Also rough Peruvian, smooth Peruvian, and a little Peruvian Sea Islands. All have a staple longer than one inch (see under each name)Dictionary of the English textile terms > South American Cotton

6 Tanguis Cotton
A type of cotton which is being grown in place of the variety known as Smooth Peruvian. About 1918 it began to be much used in Lancashire as the staple is good, being about 1-in. to 11/4-in. Its name is that of the investigator. It is a South American variety produced by crossing smooth with rough Peruvian and now provides nearly half of the Peruvian crop. -
