What is the composition of Ashford Caterpillar Cotton Yarn?

This yarn is made from 100% unmercerized cotton, which gives it a soft and natural feel. The lack of mercerization enhances its absorbency and creates a slightly matte finish, making it excellent for weaving and textile applications.

What is the length of yarn per 200g cone?

Each 200g cone provides approximately 680 meters (743 yards) of yarn, making it a high-yardage option for weaving, knitting, and crochet projects that require generous amounts of material.

What needle or hook size is recommended for this yarn?

For knitting, needle sizes between 2.75–3.25mm (US 2–3) are recommended. For crochet, hook sizes ranging from 3.5–4.5mm work well, providing balanced stitch definition and texture.

Is this yarn suitable for weaving projects?

Yes! Ashford Caterpillar Cotton Yarn is excellent for weaving. With a recommended sett of 10–20 ends per inch (epi), it works beautifully for lightweight textiles, scarves, and textured home decor items.

Can I combine this yarn with other yarns in my projects?

Absolutely! It pairs well with Ashford’s solid-colored cottons, allowing for creative color combinations and unique textures in weaving, knitting, or crochet projects. Mixing it with other fibers can also add depth and visual interest.

How should I care for items made with this yarn?

Do not bleach. Gentle machine wash. Tumble dry low.

What types of projects are ideal for this yarn?

This yarn is perfect for scarves, baby blankets, decorative pillows, placemats, and lightweight wraps. Its soft and voluminous texture adds interest and dimension to both wearable and home decor items.

Does this yarn come in different colorways?

Yes! Ashford Caterpillar Cotton Yarn is available in nine stunning variegated colorways, including Berries, Citrus, and Ocean. The multicolored variations create beautiful gradients and unique effects in finished projects.

Is this yarn lightweight despite its voluminous texture?

Yes! Despite its plush and voluminous texture, this yarn remains lightweight. It offers twice the bulk for the weight, creating airy and comfortable fabrics that feel soft against the skin without being heavy.

Can I use this yarn for crochet projects?

Definitely! Its soft texture, light weight, and vibrant color variations make it an excellent choice for crochet projects. It works well for baby accessories, shawls, textured blankets, and lightweight garments.
