We love cotton yarn – it’s a well known kitchen staple, perfect for dishcloths and small home dec pieces. But it’s time to take your cotton yarns out of the kitchen, and think big!

Use it as a classic throw, or take it with you on an adventure! Use it as a picnic blanket, beach throw, or to fend off the chill of a cool night in the backyard or at a kid’s soccer game! Cotton is versatile, durable, and comes in a wide variety of shades for any style or project. It’s worsted weight also makes it easy to sub into patterns that call for a heavier acrylic, or wool.
