HOW THICK IS THIS YARN?

Our yarn thickness is measured using the NM count, the industry standard in the knitting world. This differs from ply, which is commonly used for hand knitting yarns. To help you visualize the yarn's thickness, we've compared it to everyday items.

This yarn thickness is between sewing thread and waxed dental floss, but more rounded and rope like.

WHAT CAN I MAKE?

Fine mercerised cotton is a fantastic yarn to knit year round but particularly great for spring/summer projects from tops to pants to post swim coverups, possibilities are endless... or combine it with our METALLIC LUREX YARN for a dusting of magic!

Works well with… 
Open work stitches like eyelets, ladders to show off the smoothness of the yarn but the elasticity of this yarn makes it a perfect vehicle for whatever you want to knit!

  • What's the difference between hand and machine knit yarn?

    Machine knit yarn is coned yarn for even tension and has more strength than hand knit yarn. You can use both interchangeably but the biggest difference would be the stretch and strength machine knitting yarn has.
