Collection FAQs

What is mercerised cotton yarn?

Mercerised cotton yarn is cotton that has been treated with a special process (mercerisation) to improve its strength, lustre, and ability to absorb dye, resulting in a smoother and shinier finish.

What are the benefits of mercerised cotton yarn?

Mercerised cotton yarn offers several advantages, including increased strength, enhanced sheen, better colour retention, reduced lint, and improved durability compared to regular cotton yarn.

Is mercerised cotton yarn suitable for knitting and crochet?

Yes, it is ideal for both knitting and crochet projects. Its smooth texture allows stitches to appear more defined, making it great for detailed patterns.

Does mercerised cotton yarn shrink?

Mercerised cotton is less prone to shrinkage than untreated cotton due to the treatment process, but minimal shrinkage may still occur if not cared for properly.
