New Yarn: Cotton Pure on a Cone
Our one hundred percent unmercerized cotton, formerly available in hanks only, is now wound in lengths equal to more than ten skeins. Meet our Cotton Pure on a Cone!
The same soft and cuddly Cotton Pure, with its wonderfully tactile matte finish, a cone provides enough yarn for knitting a whole blanket or sweater without joining skeins. Also perfect for weavers who love a lot of yardage!
Unmercerized cotton is naturally absorbent and machine washable. What could be better for knitting up a blanket for a toddler to drag around or a sweater for a preschooler with a penchant for mud pies?
Or hook up our Granny Stripe Blanket in Cotton Pure! Not too bulky, not too slight, it’s happy at the foot of your bed, draped over your lap on cool summer evenings, and wrapped around yourself on chilly fall mornings.
Available in a palette of soft pink, gentle grays and warm white, Cotton Pure on Cone is as beautiful as it is practical. Pick up a cone!

i like the granny blanket
I was wondering if this is similar to crochet cotton and what size? Maybe a 20? Thank you.
Hi Denise,
Thanks for writing in! Cotton Pure is not really similar to crochet thread. For this lovely yarn, we recommend an E or F hook (3.5 or 4 mm). This will give you a lovely crocheted fabric!

This is so lovely. Would you recommend this for a queen sized coverlet?
Hello Cheri,
Thanks for writing in! This is a lovely idea. I think this yarn knits up beautifully. The amount of yarn you will need will depend on your pattern and needle size. This cone of yarn is approximately 2,734 yards of sport weight yarn so I don’t think it is quite enough for a queen sized coverlet (60″ x 80″).
I hope this is helpful! Let me know if you have any further questions!

Can this yearn be dried in the drier.
Thanks
Hi Marg,
Thanks for writing in! You can dry this yarn in the dryer. The care instructions are to machine wash cold and tumble dry low!

Approximatley, how many of the knitted dishcloths can i get out of a cone?
Hi Janet,
Thanks for writing in! You can knit 30 of our Close Knit Washcloths out of one cone. As for the Slip Stitch Dishcloth pattern, it uses multiple colors of Cotton Pure depending on which pattern you select. If you purchased 1 cone of egret white and and 5 skeins of each of the other two colors, you could make roughly 15 Dishcloths or 5 of each design in the dishcloth pattern.

I am after cotton yarn with a sheen in different colours. English Count ECC 2/20 (2 x 1/20 threads on 1/2 kilo cone). Can you help me?
Hi Irean,
Thanks for writing in! Given that our Cotton Pure has a matte finish, I think that perhaps, if the gauge of Cotton Pure works for you, Ultra Pima from Cascade might work (although it does not come on cones). I do know that there are companies that sell yarn by the cone. I would suggest searching for weaving yarns as they tend to come on cones!
I hope that this helps!

Do you know what sett this is or dent you’d use for weaving as warp on a rigid heddle?
Hi Amanda,
Thanks for reaching out! For a sport weight yarn like Cotton Pure, you will most likely want to use a 10 dent reed.
Best of luck and happy weaving!

Hello!
I just purchased this cone and am beginning knitting a blanket. I am unaccustomed to working with cotton and I am noticing that it’s getting really tangled and twisted as it comes off the cone. Is there any way to avoid this? Thanks!
Hi Emily,
Thanks for reaching out! Cotton and any other plant-based fibers are very prone to twisting, so a little bit of twisting is normal! one way to help is to use your thumb and pointer finger to massage the strand where the twisting is happening, this can help release the twist! However, if you are experiencing extreme twisting, and massaging the strand doesn’t help, please send our customer service team an email at [email protected] including a photo of your cone, as well as the color and die lot and they can help you further from there!
Happy knitting!
