Curly Cotton | Cotton/Silk/Merino Wool

Curly Cotton is a beautifully textured bouclé yarn designed for warm-weather knitting. Blending cotton and silk with a touch of extra-fine merino, it offers a soft, breathable feel with just enough elasticity for comfortable wear. The result is a yarn that’s light, airy, and gentle on the skin.

• Fiber: 82% cotton, 12% silk, 6% extra-fine merino
• Weight: DK (double knitting)
• Yardage: 150 m / 164 yds per 50 g ball
• Needles: 3.5–4.5 mm (US 4–7)
• Gauge: 16–20 stitches = 10 cm

Its unique spinning technique creates a naturally interesting surface, giving your stitches depth without requiring complicated patterns. The yarn glides easily on the needles, making it enjoyable to work with whether you’re knitting or crocheting.

Finished fabrics are soft and easy to wear, with a fluid drape that still maintains shape. The overall look is relaxed yet refined, perfect for modern garments.

Curly Cotton adapts well to different needle sizes, allowing you to control the final texture. Use smaller needles (around 3.5 mm / US 4) for a neater, more structured fabric—ideal for jackets or tailored pieces. For a looser, more casual feel, try larger needles (around 4.5 mm / US 7), especially for sweaters.

With its blend of bouclé texture and subtle tweed effect, this yarn adds depth and character to simple designs. It can also be combined with yarns like silk mohair, cashmere lace, or fine cotton to create a fuller, softer fabric.
