How the yarn behaves

Scheepjes Catona is a fine yarn made from mercerised cotton. The mercerisation gives a delicate sheen, vivid colour saturation and a smooth, slightly cool surface, while keeping the natural breathability of cotton. It is available in a huge palette ranging from soft tonal pastels to bold contrasts, making it a favourite for crochet-along and blanket projects. It is ideal for amigurumi, summer garments, lightweight tops, baby and children's items, lacework and home accessories, in both knit and crochet. Cotton has minimal elasticity, so swatching matters and fitted pieces benefit from careful tension. Care: machine wash on a gentle cycle and dry flat to preserve the sheen.
