Looking for something that is the same weight as 8/4 carpet warp but with a little more softness and drape? Cotton 8/4 is the answer! It is the same weight as 8/4 carpet warp but has a more relaxed twist. This yarn would be perfect for baby blankets or summer shawls. If you are using 8/2 cotton as the warp in an overshot or summer and winter design, Cotton 8/4 would be a great choice for the pattern weft.
Thinking of using natural or white with a dark, saturated color? This yarn is generally colorfast but strong colors can bleed if the fabric is left in a wet pile in the washing machine. Reduce your risk of color bleeding by removing the fabric immediately and getting it in the dryer or onto the clothesline. You can also use Retayne, a dye fixative,
This yarn is eligible for quantity discounts!
