What does this yarn do and when do you need it?

This cotton yarn from folia is intended for handicraft applications such as knitting, crocheting and decorative embellishment. You'll want it on hand when you're making a project where you create something by hand, or when you want to add a finishing touch or decoration to an existing object.

Why this size and this colour?

The spool contains 50 grams of yarn with a thread length of 150 metres, which is enough for smaller projects or for combining several colours. The colour dark brown works well with natural and warm colour palettes, and suits both seasonal decorations and everyday knitting projects.

An honest note on strength and structure

This yarn has a structure of 32/2x8 and has been plied several times, which means multiple strands have been twisted around each other into a single whole. This makes the yarn sturdy and gives it high tear strength. This is an advantage if you're making something that needs to withstand regular use, but keep in mind that the thickness of this yarn determines which needle or hook size you need — check this in your knitting or crochet pattern before you begin.

Practical tip for use and storage

Because this yarn is made entirely of 100% cotton, it behaves differently from wool: it has less elasticity but is often easy to wash and suitable for people with a wool allergy. Store the spool in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. If you use this yarn for decorative purposes, you can easily cut it to length without it fraying.
