Extra-fine mercerized cotton with a silk-like sheen — precious and refined. Very thin yarn with a very high yardage, ideal for openwork doilies, lace, and precision work.

👶 Baby Cotton knitting needles/crochet hook 2,5–3,5mm · 50g/skein

Cotton specially selected and tested for the delicate skin of newborns: extra-soft, hypoallergenic, and often Oeko-Tex certified. It does not irritate, does not itch, and naturally absorbs moisture. The mandatory choice for blankets, rompers, booties, hats, and all handmade layettes. Some variants include bamboo or modal for extra softness.

🌾 Linen Blend Cotton knitting needles/crochet hook 3–4mm · 50g/skein

Linen adds superior freshness and breathability to cotton — the perfect combination for light summer garments like tops, t-shirts, spring cardigans, and beach accessories.

💧 Viscose Cotton knitting needles/crochet hook 3–4mm · 50g/skein

Viscose adds two unique qualities to cotton: fluid drape and delicate luster. The result is a very soft yarn with an elegant drape, perfect for fitted tops, tunics, summer shawls, and garments that need to "fall" well on the body. Much appreciated for the warm season thanks to its cool and silky feel on the skin.

The union of cotton with wool creates a versatile year-round yarn: cotton ensures freshness and breathability, while wool adds warmth and softness. Ideal for mid-season — spring sweaters, autumn cardigans, shawls, and accessories that work both in spring and on early cold days.

🌡️ Warm Cotton knitting needles/crochet hook 4–5mm · 50-100g/skein
