5 reasons why my cotton is better than acrylic yarn.
Hey there yarn enthusiasts!
I am really passionate about using plant-based fibres for crocheting and knitting.Today I want to chat about why I absolutely love working with cotton yarn and why you might want to give it a try for your next project.Natural and Eco-Friendly
First off, let’s talk about how cotton yarn is a natural wonder. It comes from the cotton plant, which means it’s renewable and biodegradable. That’s a big win for anyone who cares about the environment, like I do. Here at Yazzy's Yarn, I use eco-friendly ingredients and packaging to keep things as green as possible. So, when you pick our cotton yarn, you’re also picking a planet-friendly option.
So Comfy
Cotton yarn is super soft and comfy. Whether you’re making a cozy blanket or a cute summer top, it’s perfect for anything that touches your skin. It’s also hypoallergenic, which is great if you or your loved ones have sensitive skin. I love using it for baby clothes and blankets because I know it’ll be gentle and safe.
Colourful and Creative
One of the best things about cotton yarn is how well it takes up dye. The colours come out so vibrant and long-lasting. Whether you want bold and bright or soft and subtle, cotton yarn has you covered. I hand-dye all our yarns, so each skein is a little work of art ready for your next project.
Durable and Easy to Care For
Cotton yarn is tough stuff. It holds up well to washing and doesn’t lose its shape or softness. That makes it perfect for everyday items like dishcloths, market bags, and wearables. Plus, it’s easy to care for—just toss it in the wash and you’re good to go.
Perfect for All Seasons
Cotton yarn is breathable, which makes it great for any season. It keeps you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. I love using it for lightweight shawls in the spring and cozy blankets in the winter.
So, there you have it—why cotton yarn is my top pick. It’s natural, comfy, colorful, durable, and perfect for any season. Plus, it aligns with my values of sustainability and eco-friendly crafting. Check out our hand-dyed cotton yarns at Yazzy's Yarn and see the difference for yourself.
