Collection FAQs

What is mercerised cotton yarn?

Mercerised cotton yarn is cotton that has undergone a special treatment process to improve its strength, lustre, and dye uptake. This process gives the yarn a beautiful sheen and a smoother feel compared to regular cotton.

What can I make with mercerised cotton yarn?

Mercerised cotton yarn is incredibly versatile. It's perfect for creating garments like summer tops, kids' apparel, and dresses, as well as accessories such as shawls, bags, and home décor items like doilies and tablecloths. Its drape and sheen make it ideal for intricate crochet patterns.

Is mercerised cotton yarn good for crochet?

Yes, mercerised cotton yarn is excellent for crochet. Its smooth texture allows hooks to glide easily, and its strength prevents splitting. The resulting stitches have a beautiful definition and a subtle, luxurious shine, making it a favourite for fine crochet work.

What's the difference between mercerised cotton and regular cotton yarn?

Mercerised cotton yarn has a significantly higher lustre and a silkier feel due to the mercerisation process. It is also stronger, more resistant to stretching, and holds dye better, resulting in more vibrant colours and improved durability for your projects.

Where can I buy mercerised cotton yarn in Australia?

You can buy a wide selection of mercerised cotton yarns at Lincraft. We offer various ply weights and colours, perfect for all your crochet and knitting needs across Australia.

Is mercerised cotton yarn suitable for beginners?

Mercerised cotton yarn is suitable for beginners, especially for projects where stitch definition and a smooth finish are desired. Its slight stiffness can make it easier to handle than some softer cottons, though very fine weights might be more challenging for those new to crochet.
