DROPS Cotton Light: DK Cotton and Polyester Yarn 50 g

What is Drops Cotton Light and why does it stand out?

Drops Cotton Light is a DK yarn by Garnstudio made from 50% cotton and 50% polyester microfibre. Soft to the touch, lightweight and very easy to work with, it comes in a wide range of colours and has Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 Class I certification.

Unlike pure cotton yarns, the combination of cotton and polyester microfibre provides greater elasticity and wash resistance, without compromising the freshness of cotton. The result is a yarn with good drape that glides smoothly on the needles, with excellent stitch definition for detailed projects.

• ▷ Machine wash on a delicate cycle, maximum 40 °C.
• ▷ Dry flat, without wringing the garment.
• ▷ Avoid strong spin cycles to preserve the texture and stitches.
