Ashford Cottolin Yarns blend the strength of cotton with the sheen of linen, making them ideal for a variety of weaving projects. The combination of cotton's softness and linen's crispness results in a woven fabric that is extremely versatile, and appropriate for tea towels, tablecloths, clothing, homewares, and more. This durable yarn can be used in any project that calls for 8/2 cotton.
Choose from a stunning array of colours that have been carefully curated to inspire your creativity. The Ashford Cottolin colour palette includes earthy naturals, vibrant jewel tones, and everything in between. Find the perfect shade to bring your vision to life.
If the Ashford item you want is on backorder, please be advised that there is a wait time of approximately 1.5 weeks before it gets shipped. Please note that this is a general estimate and unexpected production and delivery delays can occur, and that certain Ashford items can have different back-in-stock dates. To confirm when an item would be back in stock, please email our team at hello@threadcollective.com.au.
Is this yarn suitable for summer scarves or wraps?
Yes, the cotton-linen blend creates a lightweight, breathable fabric that is perfect for summer scarves and wraps. It absorbs moisture well, keeping the wearer cool. Over time, the linen softens with washing, enhancing the comfort and drape of finished pieces.
What is the recommended sett (EPI) for this yarn?
The suggested sett for Ashford’s 8/2 Cottolin depends on the weave structure. For plain weave, 18–24 ends per inch (EPI) is recommended. For twill weaves, a denser sett of 24–30 EPI may be used to create a more structured fabric with better definition.
How does the linen content affect the yarn's stiffness?
The 30% linen content adds crispness and durability to the yarn without making it overly stiff. While new linen fabrics may feel firm, they become increasingly softer with use and washing, making them comfortable for garments, towels, and household textiles.
Can I use this yarn on a rigid heddle loom?
Yes, Ashford’s 8/2 Cottolin is well-suited for rigid heddle looms. Using an appropriate heddle size, such as a 15 dent heddle, or by holding yarn double in a 10 dent heddle, allows for effective warp spacing. It is ideal for weaving towels, scarves, and lightweight table linens on a rigid heddle loom.
How does Cottolin compare to 100% cotton in absorbency?
Cottolin is more absorbent than pure cotton because of its linen content, which helps it wick moisture efficiently. This makes it excellent for weaving dish towels, hand towels, and table linens that require quick drying and durability while maintaining a natural, rustic texture.
Is this yarn suitable for beginners?
Yes, Cottolin is an easy-to-weave yarn that is great for beginners. It is strong, holds tension well, and does not break easily. While the linen content makes it slightly stiffer than 100% cotton, it is still manageable for those learning to weave or knit with plant fibers.
What projects are ideal for this yarn?
Cottolin is versatile and can be used for a wide range of projects, including handwoven dish towels, tea towels, table runners, napkins, lightweight clothing, and home textiles. Its durability and absorbency make it a popular choice for functional and decorative fabric items.
How does this yarn compare to 8/2 cotton in terms of weight?
Ashford’s 8/2 Cottolin is the same weight as standard 8/2 cotton yarns, meaning it can be substituted directly in patterns. However, because of the linen content, it may feel slightly crisper initially and have more texture compared to pure cotton yarns.
What heddle size should I use with this yarn?
A 12.5-dent heddle is recommended for a balanced plain weave using 8/2 Cottolin. For twill and more intricate patterns, a finer heddle (such as 15-dent) may be used to achieve a denser fabric with clear weave structure and pattern definition.
Is Cottolin suitable for warp yarn?
Yes, Cottolin is strong enough to be used as a warp yarn. The linen content enhances its durability, making it resistant to breaking under tension. It is an excellent choice for weaving towels, tablecloths, and other home textiles that require long-lasting strength and stability.
