Mercerized Cotton
1 - 8 products
Mercerised cotton is a cotton fibre specifically treated to eliminate the twisted appearance of the fibres. This process gives the yarn a silky sheen that makes it easier for the yarn to slip through when knitting or crocheting. Stronger than traditional cotton, this yarn is particularly suited to projects requiring greater strength and durability. It is available in different thicknesses, allowing you to create delicate or larger creations. Mix it with other natural fibres such as wool for even more creative products. For example, the CASHWOOL D’ÉTÉ ball from Textiles de la Marque, with its 4 colour options, combines the softness of cotton and wool.
Mercerised cotton yarn is extremely versatile and can be used for a variety of knitting and crochet projects: summer tops, shawls, jumpers, tablecloths, but also socks. Its absorbency makes it the ideal choice for bath linen. This yarn is also known as Scottish yarn and is perfect for knitting socks thanks to its great strength. What’s more, mercerised cotton creations are low-maintenance: they can be machine-washed and air-dried without creasing, making them easy to care for.
When making your purchase, look for a quality product to guarantee the softness, shine and strength of your creations. The thickness of the yarn depends on your project: a thin yarn for delicate projects and a thick yarn for more imposing creations. Also check the composition of the balls, as some are mixed with wool, silk or linen. Colours are also essential for personalising your creations. Choose a mercerised cotton yarn in the colour that best suits your project.
