What is Cotton Dazzle made from?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>According to the manufacturer, it is made from 60% cotton and 40% viscose. The cotton provides freshness and breathability, while the viscose gives the yarn its characteristic natural sheen and fluid drape. It is a blend of plant-based fibres designed for spring and summer garments.</p></div>

What knitting needles or crochet hook do I need for Cotton Dazzle?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>The manufacturer recommends 2.5 to 3 mm knitting needles and crochet hooks. With this size range, the reference tension is 26 stitches by 31 rows over a 10 × 10 cm square. We recommend always making a tension swatch before you begin, as the drape of the viscose may slightly affect the final measurements.</p></div>

Can I use Cotton Dazzle for baby clothes?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>Yes. It is Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 Class I certified, certificate number 09.HBG.68250, issued by the Hohenstein Institute.

How should a garment made with this yarn be washed?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>Machine wash it on a delicate cycle at a maximum of 40°C, using a mild detergent and avoiding a strong spin cycle. Dry it flat on a towel. Do not tumble dry, iron or use bleach: viscose is sensitive to heat and friction, and gentle care helps preserve the garment’s sheen and shape.</p></div>

Is it a good yarn for crochet tops?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>Yes, this is one of its best uses. Its 40% viscose content gives tops a fluid drape that follows the shape of the body, while the satin sheen looks particularly attractive in lace stitches and shell patterns.

Is it suitable for vegans?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>Yes. It is made entirely from plant-based fibres: cotton and viscose, which is derived from cellulose. It contains no wool, silk or any other animal fibre, making it a good choice if you prefer to work without materials of animal origin.</p></div></div>

What is Performance Cotton Dazzle and what makes it stand out?

Cotton Dazzle is a Sport weight yarn from Bulgarian manufacturer Performance, made from 60% cotton and 40% viscose. Each 50g ball contains approximately 120 metres. The cotton provides freshness, while the viscose adds a natural sheen and fluid drape.

This proportion of viscose is what sets it apart from an ordinary cotton yarn: the fabric gains movement and a subtle satin finish that is noticeable without being flashy. It is soft to the touch, cool against the skin and pleasant to work with for both knitting and crochet.

It also has Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 Class I certification, the most stringent class, and all its fibres are plant-based, so it is suitable for vegans. At Garmon Yarns, you will find it alongside the rest of the Performance yarns.

What can you make with Cotton Dazzle?

This yarn is designed for summer garments with drape: blouses, tops, lightweight dresses and shawls. If you are looking for a yarn for a crochet top that will not feel stiff, its 40% viscose content helps the garment follow the shape of the body and move naturally. It also works very well for lace and openwork stitches.

▷ Summer blouses and tops, knitted or crocheted
▷ Lightweight dresses and short-sleeved tops
▷ Shawls and scarves with a fluid drape
▷ Baby garments, thanks to its Oeko-Tex Class I certification
▷ Edgings, borders and lace details enhanced by a touch of sheen

With 2.5 to 3 mm knitting needles or crochet hooks, you can achieve a fine, well-defined fabric. If you are working lace, you can go up half a size to open up the stitches and let the yarn’s drape do the rest.

What does a yarn with sheen offer compared with matt cotton?

Viscose reflects the light softly and gives the garment a more refined look without compromising comfort. Compared with 100% matt cotton, a viscose blend offers more drape, a silkier feel and a satin finish that enhances lace stitches.

▷ Subtle natural sheen, with no metallic threads
▷ Fluid drape, ideal for garments with movement or draping
▷ Soft, cool feel, designed for warm weather
▷ Plant-based fibres: 60% cotton and 40% viscose

If you enjoy combining textures, this yarn also works very well alongside matt yarns: a border or yoke with sheen over a matt background can create a striking effect. You can discover more options in our selection of viscose yarns.

How should garments made with Cotton Dazzle be cared for?

These garments can be machine washed on a delicate cycle at a maximum of 40°C and should be dried flat. Avoid tumble drying, ironing and bleach. Viscose is sensitive to heat and friction, so gentle washing helps preserve the sheen and shape.

▷ Use a mild detergent and avoid a strong spin cycle
▷ Dry the garment flat on a towel to prevent stretching
▷ Store garments folded rather than hanging to help maintain their shape
