What is cotton yarn?
Cotton yarn is a plant based yarn spun from the fibres found in the seed pods of the cotton plant. It is inelastic and compared with sheep's wool it doesn't have the same "bounce".
Cotton yarn is lightweight, breathable and durable, it takes colour very well so you will find it in a rainbow of colours from crispy whites to soft pastels and vibrant brights.
It is perfect for summer knitting and crochet but also excellent as an all year round yarn due to it's versatility.
Cotton yarn is hypoallergenic so perfect for knitting and crocheting baby items as well as garments for people with sensitive skin that can't tolerate animal fibres.
Cotton yarns are easy to care for and washes well as most are machine washable.
