C O T T O N O N !

i began to think that my summer knits were going to be surplus to requirements this year, that i should concentrate on knitting winter woollies & kick the lightweights into the long, very long, grass!
but wait, don’t be too hasty - this weekend has been more cardy off, than cardy on & things are definitely warming up!

cotton is a perfect choice for a light weight neck knot, so next up on my needles this lovely, soft spun cotton yarn, in these five colour ways;
chalk, sea glass, lichen, horizon, & sludgy, pond algae green…

…tho’ i might have to rethink the colour name on that one!

cotton on!
cotton is a natural, plant based fibre, naturally biodegrable, & essentially sustainable - look out for organic cotton, GOTS, BCI & OKEO-TEX certifications.
cotton is the ideal choice for warmer weather, is soft, flexible & breathable, it allows air to move through it & so regulate body temperature.
cotton is easy to care for being both hand, & in some cases, machine washable.
cotton is hypoallergenic & an natural alternative for people with wool sensitivity.
cotton is easy to work, has good stitch definition, is durable & wears well!
