Curly Cotton is a unique, exciting, and incredibly lightweight bouclé yarn, primarily made from cotton & silk and featuring a beautifully distinctive texture.Its special spinning process and the fine balance of cotton, silk, and a touch of extra-fine merino create a yarn that is soft, flexible, and gentle against the skin—while also being wonderfully easy to knit. Stitches glide smoothly on the needles, and the texture naturally comes to life without effort.
The lightness of the yarn makes it ideal for garments you’ll reach for again and again—without ever feeling heavy. Curly Cotton creates knitwear with a lovely drape that holds its shape, while maintaining a relaxed and lively look. Lightness also means few balls for a project.
Curly Cotton can be worked on a range of needle sizes, allowing you to shape the final look exactly as you wish. For a more structured, slightly Chanel-inspired jacket, use US 4 (3.5 mm). For a more relaxed, easy-fitting sweater, try US 7 (4.5 mm).
The characteristic bouclé and tweed texture adds depth and interest—even to simple designs. It’s also a great yarn to pair with a companion strand if you’d like extra softness or a fuller fabric.When knitting with a companion strand, use US 6–10 (4–6 mm) needles.
