Cotton

Cotton yarns are very suitable for knitting summer clothes, accessories and baby clothes because they are soft, breathable and skin-friendly

There are also cotton blend yarns that contain other fibers such as wool or silk for a softer texture and improved durability.

What makes a good cotton yarn?

A good cotton yarn is characterized by the following properties:

1. Softness: A cotton yarn should be soft and comfortable on the skin.

2. Breathability: Cotton is naturally breathable, meaning it can absorb and release moisture.

3. Durability: Cotton is a durable fiber that should retain its shape even after many washes. A good cotton yarn should therefore be durable and not fray or look worn out quickly.

4. Uniform Thickness: A cotton yarn should have a uniform thickness so that it gives a uniform texture and appearance when knitting.

5. Color Selection: A good cotton yarn should come in a variety of colors so that it can be used for different knitting projects and color combinations.

6. Sustainability: It is important that a good cotton yarn comes from sustainable production and meets ethical standards. A certification such as GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) can be an indicator here.
