Cotton Crochet Yarn Violet 50 g

The thin yarn made of mercerized cotton is stiffer in thicker patterns when knitting or crocheting, so it holds its shape beautifully (for shoes, handbags and various ornaments). If you want the product to be softer and more flexible (eg for blouses or sweaters), it is recommended to knit a looser pattern. The yarn is suitable not only for knitting and crocheting, but also for the production of toys and embroidery using the hardanger technique, which is characterized by double openwork patterns and cutouts.

Needle size: 2.5
Hook size: 2.5

Mercerized cotton is treated by so-called merceration, when the gloss is increased by the action of sodium hydroxide while the fibers are stretched. Such cotton is not only shinier, but also softer, firmer, color fast, has brighter colors and is more resistant to abrasion and shrinkage.
