Gazzal Baby Cotton 25: cotton and acrylic yarn for amigurumi, 25 g

What is Gazzal Baby Cotton 25?

It is a cotton and acrylic yarn, with a 50/50 blend, in Sport weight and supplied in 25 g balls with approximately 82 metres. It is made in Turkey, is certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class II and can be worked with 3 to 4 mm knitting needles or a 2 to 3 mm crochet hook.

The cotton gives it a soft, cool feel, while the acrylic makes it very easy to care for: garments can be machine washed at 40 °C and tumble dried at a low temperature. The result is a pleasant blend that is easy to work with for both knitting and crochet.

What are the advantages of a 25 g ball?

The small format is one of the main strengths of this yarn. With 82 metres in each ball, you can buy only the amount you need of each colour for your project, without being left with large half-used balls. It is especially practical for pieces with lots of colours, stripes or small details.

The colour range is equally appealing: there is a wide variety of shades, from white, grey and black to earthy tones, greens, blues, lilacs, pinks, corals and reds, including neon shades for a bright touch. As each ball is small, the price per unit is low, making it good value for experimenting with colour combinations.

What projects is Baby Cotton 25 suitable for?

The brand label highlights four uses: long-sleeved garments, T-shirts, scarves or cowls and hats. Amigurumi can also be added to the list, as this is one of the most popular uses for this yarn thanks to its small format and good stitch definition. It is a transitional-season blend, cool enough for spring and summer.
