Overview
A mercerized cotton strand in light worsted weight, this yarn is spun for crochet and knitting projects that get laundered often, from tees to bags and dishcloths. It comes as a single pack in a deep purple.
Cotton suits items that see regular laundering, and the listing steers it toward summer tops, totes and kitchen cloths. Machine washing makes upkeep simple. The limitation is that no gauge or dye lot information is given, and one pack covers only a small project.
Who it's for
A maker stocking a kitchen cloth or tote project in a rich purple. Look elsewhere for stretchy winter knits, or for patterns that need several skeins from an identical dye lot.
Pros and cons
- Natural cotton fiber
- Clear hook and needle sizes
- Light worsted weight
- Suits tees, bags and dishcloths
- Single pack covers small projects
- Gauge not stated
- Dye lot not mentioned
- Only one color per pack
Performance notes
Light worsted cotton worked at the suggested hook or needle size gives a fabric that suits dishcloths and totes. Mercerizing is a finishing treatment applied to cotton, and the listing describes the fiber but gives no gauge, so swatch first to confirm the fabric you get.
