What is this yarn and when do you use it?

This cotton yarn from folia is intended for handicraft techniques such as knitting, crochet and decorative applications. Reach for this yarn when you want to make a project that works with a natural fibre that feels pleasant in the hand and can be used in many ways.

Why this size and this colour?

The ball weighs 50 grams and contains 150 metres of yarn, a common size for smaller projects or as a supplement to a larger project. The colour black is timeless and widely applicable, whether you are crocheting an accessory, knitting something or making a decorative accent. With this size you have a manageable amount per ball, which is handy if you are combining several colours.

An honest look at the strength of this yarn

The yarn has a structure and strength of 32/2x8 and is multi-ply twisted, which means several strands have been twisted together into one sturdy thread. This gives it a high tear resistance, so the yarn is less likely to break while you work with it. Because it is made from 100% cotton, it suits people who prefer not to use synthetic fibres.

Practical tip for use

Before you begin, check that the weight and yarn thickness match the needle or hook size your pattern calls for. The strength code 32/2x8 indicates how the yarn is constructed, and you can use this information to compare it with other yarns in your stash or to choose the right tools. It is best to store leftovers dry and away from direct sunlight to prevent discolouration.
