DESCRIPTION

You want your projects to mean something, not just look good, but feel right in every way. It’s disheartening when even natural yarns come with question marks around origin or treatment. Sometimes, that unease sits in the background of your making, dulling your creative joy.

You’ll feel the difference, not just in the soft texture, but in the quiet satisfaction that comes from using a fibre you believe in. Whether you’re knitting, crocheting, or weaving, it’s a grounding, fulfilling choice.

With every stitch, you’re working with something real, raw, breathable, and beautifully simple. Your finished pieces won’t just look lovely; they’ll carry a story of care, locality, and slow making. It's the kind of yarn that reminds you why you started crafting in the first place.

Is this yarn suitable for machine washing?

Yes, this yarn can be machine washed, but it is recommended to use a gentle cycle with cold water to preserve its natural softness and prevent excessive shrinkage. Laying the item flat to dry will help maintain its shape and longevity.

What needle size is best for this DK (10 Ply) yarn?

The typical recommended needle size is 4mm (US 6), which produces a balanced fabric. However, you may choose smaller needles for tighter stitches (such as 3.5mm) or larger needles for a looser, drapier fabric (up to 4.5mm). Swatching before starting a project is advised.

Can I dye this yarn at home?

Yes, this cotton yarn can be dyed at home, but for best results, a hot scour wash is recommended beforehand to remove any natural plant oils and improve dye absorption. This helps achieve even, vibrant color results.

Is this yarn mercerised?

No, this yarn is not mercerised, meaning it retains a natural matte finish and offers excellent absorbency. This makes it perfect for kitchen textiles, baby garments, and eco-friendly home projects that benefit from a soft, non-slick texture.

How does this yarn compare to other DK cotton yarns?

This yarn is 100% Australian-grown, minimally processed, and sourced from sustainable farms in Queensland. It supports local farmers and provides a naturally soft and durable alternative to mass-produced, chemically treated cotton yarns.

Is this yarn suitable for baby garments?

Yes! This cotton is soft, breathable, and free from harsh chemicals, making it an ideal choice for baby clothing, blankets, and accessories. Its natural absorbency keeps babies comfortable, and the yarn is gentle on sensitive skin.

Does this yarn shrink after washing?

Being minimally processed cotton, this yarn may shrink slightly more than processed varieties. To minimise unexpected shrinkage after completion, it is advisable to swatch (and wash your swatch) and make adjustments if/as necessary.

Can I use this yarn for crochet projects?

Absolutely! This yarn is versatile for both knitting and crochet. It works well for crocheted garments, amigurumi, market bags, dishcloths, and home decor items, offering excellent stitch definition and structure.

What is the yardage per 100g skein?

Each 100g skein contains approximately 200 meters (218 yards) of DK-weight cotton yarn. This provides good coverage for medium-sized projects like hats, tops, and baby garments.

Is this yarn eco-friendly?

Yes! This yarn is locally sourced from Australian cotton farms and is processed with minimal environmental impact. By choosing this yarn, you are supporting sustainable Australian agriculture and reducing reliance on imported, heavily processed cotton yarns.
