Lightweight, crisp, and full of possibilities — Cotton Air is a light fingering, lightly twisted 2-ply cotton yarn with outstanding stitch definition. Its crisp texture keeps stitches round and open, making it perfect for breezy summer garments. Hold it double to mix colors and create unique, custom effects.
Tips for Working with Cotton Air:
- Cotton Air can be a little slick on metal needles — bamboo needles give you better control.
- Use the magic knot method for a clean, seamless yarn join when starting a new ball
- For best blocking results: dip your swatch or project quickly in water (don’t soak), squeeze out the excess, roll it in a towel to press out more moisture, then shape and lay flat to dry.
