How the yarn behaves

Rowan Cotton Glacé is a yarn made from mercerised cotton, spun with a high twist that produces exceptional stitch definition and a subtle natural sheen. The mercerised finish gives a hard-wearing yet surprisingly soft hand, with vivid colour saturation and a clean, slightly cool surface that suits warm-weather projects. It is particularly good for spring and summer shrugs, lightweight cardigans, sweaters, baby items, lace and colourwork, and it crochets very cleanly. Cotton has minimal elasticity, so drape is the primary virtue and fitted garments need careful tension. Care: machine wash on a gentle cycle and dry flat; the mercerised finish keeps colours vibrant over many washes.
