Cotton Yarn

Ok, so I have I mentioned that I love crocheting with cotton yarn?! If not, let me tell you why. First of all, I love the look and feel of cotton yarn. It feels so light and breezy. Plus, cotton yarn holds up really well too!

You can also make tons of crochet projects with cotton yarn. Some of the things that come to mind:

washcloth / dishcloth
pillows
blankets
coasters
tops
cardigans
plant hangers

So as you can see there are an endless amount of options. Plus, cotton yarn is great to use during the summer time. I don’t know about you but where I live it gets really hot. So cotton yarn is a must for me in the summer time!

Let’s talk a bit about the different types of cotton yarn.

DIFFERENT COTTON YARNS

There are many different variations of cotton yarns. You have pure 100% cotton yarn and you have mixes of cotton yarn. One of my favorite mixes is Lion Brand Coboo yarn. Its a cotton/bamboo mix and is just the most softest yarn you’ve ever crochet with!

Quality is another big factor when working with cotton yarn. Not all cotton yarn is created equally. You have the super soft cotton yarn, like pima cotton and then you a not so soft cheaper version. It all depends on what you want to make or get out of your crochet project.

For example, if i’m making a washcloth or a dish cloth I like to use a cheaper cotton. It’s a fast project, plus i’m going to be wiping the kitchen counters with it. If i’m making a cotton cardigan, then I will splurge on a more expensive cotton yarn because i’m going to be wearing my crochet design.

So let’s get into some of these cotton choices.

Lily Sugar’n Cream

I love using this cotton yarn for kitchen items. Its inexpensive and you can pretty much find it in any craft store. Plus, they offer a lot of different colors. I love making wash and dishcloths with this yarn. They also make great gifts for family and friends.

Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton Yarn

This is a mercerized cotton yarn by Lion Brand and it’s fantastic to work with. You can pretty much make anything with this yarn. I love making potholders, bags, and baskets with this yarn. The reason I think it’s easy to work with is because of it being a single strand versus many tiny strands put together.

We Are Knitters Cotton Yarn + Billow by KnitPicks

We are Knitters pima cotton yarn is a very luxurious type of cotton yarn. Pima cotton is known to be a higher quality cotton. It’s basically known for its softness and smoothness. This yarn is definitely on the pricier side, so I like to use it for those special crochet projects.

Billow by KnitPicks is another type of pima cotton yarn.

Loops and Threads Cotton Colors and Creme Cotton

Michaels craft store yarn brand “Loops and Threads” has some really great cotton yarn options. I absolutely love their cotton color line, as well as the creme cotton line. These are one of my favorite yarns to use for garments and blankets. Michaels cotton yarn line is affordable and you get a lot of yarn for your money.
