jeans cotton yarn review
Ice Yarns Jeans Cotton
Details
Jeans Cotton is an 8ply 100% cotton Turkish yarn, reminiscent of the denim look.
- It comes in 50g balls with 140m per ball.
- A 3-4 mm hook or needles are recommended.(see my summary)
- Gauge is 24 rows by 18 stitches to 10cm x 10cm.
- There are originally 28 different colourways, 11 of which can be purchased in my online store.
- The label recommends a warm machine wash.
- It is labelled as a number 3 weight yarn which is equivalent to a 8ply or dk weight.
In Summary
- As with many of the Ice Yarns 100% cottons, this is a very soft yarn and not hard on the hands at all.
- The construction of the jeans cotton yarn has a light twist to it.
- I found it to be a little lighter than the average 8ply.
- I found a bit of splitting happening when using a size 3 or 4 hook, but when I slowed down a bit it was ok and I didn’t have any problem with a size 5 hook which I used for the mesh produce bag. (my smaller hooks are a little pointier than my other hooks, so that may have had something to do with it) I use aluminium hooks.
- The Jeans cotton denim yarn would make beautiful accessories or garments and home wares as well.
- I don’t really think it would be hardy enough for dish cloths, but definitely nice for a hand cloth/towel.
