What is the difference between mercerised and unmercerised cotton?
Mercerised cotton has undergone a chemical process that increases its lustre and affinity for dye while strengthening the fibre. Unmercerised cotton retains its natural wax content, offering a softer feel and a more matte appearance. Mercerised cotton is ideal for projects that require a sleek finish and vibrant colours, while unmercerised cotton is preferred for its natural and soft texture.
What does English Cotton count (Ne) mean?
The English Cotton count (Ne) is a measurement used to describe the fineness of yarn, indicating the length of yarn in relation to its weight. A higher Ne number means a finer yarn. This system helps crafters understand the thickness of yarn and anticipate how it will perform in various textile projects, such as knitting, crocheting, or weaving.
