Mercerised Cotton Yarns FAQs

How does mercerised cotton differ from regular cotton yarn?

Mercerised cotton is treated with sodium hydroxide, making it shinier, stronger, and more colourfast than regular cotton. This process also enhances its dye absorption capabilities, resulting in vibrant, lasting colours. For more information, please read our free guide on the differences between mercerised and non-mercerised cotton.

What types of projects are best suited for mercerised cotton yarn?

Ideal for both apparel and home décor, mercerised cotton yarn is perfect for summer garments, shawls, placemats, and decorative cushions, offering a lustrous finish to any project.

Can mercerised cotton yarn be used by beginners?

Yes, mercerised cotton yarn is beginner-friendly due to its smooth texture, which prevents splitting and allows for easier handling and consistent stitching.

Why does mercerised cotton yarn have better colour absorption?

The mercerisation process increases the fibre's surface area and removes impurities, enhancing its ability to absorb and retain dye, resulting in richer and more vibrant colours.

Is mercerised cotton yarn environmentally friendly?

While the chemical treatment in producing mercerised cotton has a higher environmental impact, its durability and colorfastness contribute to longer-lasting textiles, potentially reducing waste. Look for eco-friendly certifications for the most sustainable options, just like Venne’s GOTS certification.
