What is Drops Safran and why is it one of the most recommended cotton yarns?

Drops Safran by Garn Studio is a 100% combed Egyptian cotton yarn, known for its softness, durability, and a lightweight, breathable texture. This long-staple cotton has been carefully spun to produce a smooth, shiny and high-quality yarn that stands out for its strength and is particularly gentle on the skin.

Thanks to its superior quality, Drops Safran is perfect for amigurumi, baby clothes, summer garments, and accessories for all ages. It’s one of the best options if you're looking for a comfortable, fresh, and skin-safe cotton yarn.
