🧵 The yarn
COTTON4FUTURE Schachenmayr is the sustainable yarn designed for those who want to combine creativity with respect for the environment. Made with 50% recycled cotton from textile production waste and 50% recycled polyester obtained from plastic bottles, this skein represents a concrete choice towards a greener future without compromising on quality.
Each 50-gram skein yields 100 meters of soft yet cool-to-the-touch yarn, perfect for summer projects. It works up quickly with 4-4.5mm needles and crochet hooks, ideal for both beginners and experienced hobbyists looking for a versatile eco-friendly yarn.
🧬 Technical composition: why it works
The recycled cotton that makes up 50% of this yarn comes from textile production offcuts and waste. Despite its origin, it retains the same quality as virgin fibers: softness, breathability, and natural freshness. This means you can create comfortable summer garments knowing you are giving new life to materials that would otherwise have been discarded.
The recycled polyester (50%) comes from plastic bottles broken down into granules and spun into yarn. It adds strength, elasticity, and makes the finished garment easier to care for. This combination creates a yarn that combines the freshness of cotton with the practicality of synthetic, perfect for projects that need to last over time while maintaining their shape and color even after numerous washes.
📦 Skein size and yield
Each skein weighs 50 grams and yields 100 meters of yarn. With a single skein you can make small accessories such as coin purses, headbands, or oven mitts. For larger projects, keep in mind that a women's short-sleeved size M top requires about 5-6 skeins, while a medium-sized granny bag only needs 3-4.
We recommend purchasing all the skeins you need for your project at once: as it is a dyed yarn, there may be slight shade differences between different batches. Better to prevent surprises once you have started working.
🧶 Recommended working method
4-4.5mm needles are the ideal size for this yarn because they create an airy yet compact fabric, perfect for summer garments that need to be cool but not transparent. With this size you get about 17 stitches and 24 rows in a 10x10cm swatch, ideal for tops, tank tops, and lightweight cardigans.
With a 4-4.5mm crochet hook, the yarn works up quickly and is perfect for granny bags, summer tote bags, and openwork accessories. The slightly textured feel typical of recycled fibers gives your projects a natural and modern look, enhancing simple stitches such as stockinette or double crochet.
✨ Why choose COTTON4FUTURE
If you are looking for a summer yarn but want to make a sustainable choice, COTTON4FUTURE solves the dilemma. Unlike 100% virgin cottons, this yarn drastically reduces environmental impact by reusing existing materials. Compared to inexpensive acrylic yarns, it offers the natural freshness of cotton without compromising on the practicality of machine washing.
In everyday life you will notice the difference: garments made with COTTON4FUTURE are cool even on the hottest days, maintain their shape after washing, and have that slightly textured feel that makes every project unique. Perfect if you want to create handmade pieces that tell a story of sustainability without compromising on quality.

This yarn is suitable for both beginners and experienced hobbyists. Working with 4-4.5mm needles and crochet hooks is quick, and the yarn flows well without creating knots or difficulties. If you are just starting out, you will appreciate how easy it is to work with; if you are experienced, you will love the slightly textured feel that enhances openwork stitches and elaborate designs.
