My Thoughts on Baby Cotton
- Baby Cotton is made up 4 strands twisted together
- It feels like a standard # 3 weight yarn.Â
- I don’t experience any splitting with this yarn.
- It is a very soft cotton.
- It’s pretty easy to find the centre pull which I always appreciate.
- I’m not finding joins throughout the balls.
- I have made baby items, scarves and wash cloths with the Baby Cotton, and I have found it suitable for all.Â
- Two strands held together are really great for washcloths. You get a nice thick one and they work up quick. A 5mm hook is great for this.

In Summary
- This is a beautiful yarn to work with and it just glides over the hook.
- Baby Cotton is one of my go to yarns and I definitely recommend it for a variety of projects, not just a baby yarn.
- There is a decent choice of colours.
- Perfect when you want a soft finish.
- All in all I love using this yarn. Always thinking about what I can make with this one!
