A thick and lovely 8/8 yarn in 100% cotton. Cotton 8/8 is spun with 8 threads, which makes it double as thick as a 4-threaded cotton yarn (8/4). Cotton Kings 8/4 is produced in 100% pure and lovely cotton and comes in a large assortment of nice, fresh colors.

Cotton 8/8 is suitable for pretty much any knitting and crocheting projects where you want a sturdy and strong cotton. It is perfect for Summer clothing and interiors, e.g towels, dish cloths, amigurumi, teddies and throws.

Be aware that the yarn can be machine-washed and as with 100% cotton yarn, it is even suitable for boil washing. This is especially important, if you use the yarn for dishcloths, towns, etc. On the label we recommend 40°C, but only because the heat can make the colors fade in the long run.
