Cotton 100%, 50 g

The Cotton 100% yarn, as its name suggests, is made from 100% high-quality long-staple cotton, known for its softness and excellent durability. Cotton absorbs moisture well, is breathable, and resistant to pilling, making it ideal for garments that are worn and washed frequently. Cotton 100% also feels wonderfully comfortable against the skin.

Cotton 100% yarn is suitable for both knitting and crochet projects for children and adults. It is also perfect for crocheting popular amigurumi mascots, as well as small bags, pillows, and toys. The yarn is manufactured in Spain.
