Loren Natural Cotton Hand Knitting Yarn contains 85% Cotton and 15% Polyester, and can be used for summer or baby projects. Due to its cotton content, the yarn has a slightly stiff structure, which helps your knitted pieces, amigurumis, to hold their shape better. The Natural Cotton branded yarns are made from recycled materials, hence there may be variations in yarn thickness and color tones. Therefore, it is recommended to purchase enough yarn to complete your project. Gauge: 10x10 cm = 22 stitches x 30 rows. If you prefer a finer yarn structure, you can choose Loren Natural Baby hand knitting yarns. Note: Hand knitting yarn is obtained from recycled cotton threads, hence there may be tonal differences compared to the visuals of the product.
