Cotton Yarn for Knitting and Crocheting
A cotton knitting yarn should ideally be made from controlled organic cultivation (kbA), as only then can a cotton yarn be called organic cotton. In our product range, you can buy various GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified organic cotton yarns, which are guaranteed to be free of harmful substances such as pesticides. For example, the pure cotton yarnBC Garn Alba GOTSor the cotton blendBC Garn Bio Balance GOTS.
Mercerized Cotton
Some cotton yarns are mercerized, meaning they are refined with a surface treatment that makes the cotton dimensionally stable and shinier. The fibers are dipped in a special lye and then stretched. This causes the fibers to lie close and parallel, which ensures good light reflection and thus a beautiful sheen. If you are looking for cotton for knitting or cotton crochet yarn, mercerized cotton is a good choice. These yarns are particularly suitable because they look elegant and knitted pieces shimmer almost like silk. You can also buy mercerized cotton yarns from us, for example our summeryBC Garn Luxor.
Vegan Wool
For those who also like to use vegan products when knitting, our cotton yarns are a wonderful alternative. OurKremke Morning Salutation Veganprovides a pleasant cotton-Lyocell mix, consisting of 49% Greek cotton and 51% TENCEL™.
