Soft Pima Cotton & Merino Wool Fingering Weight Yarn
A Soft, Breathable Yarn for Knitting, Crochet & Weaving
Cotton Fine is a soft, lightweight fingering weight yarn spun from 80% Pima cotton and 20% Merino wool. The cotton gives the yarn strength, breathability, and a cool feel, while a touch of Merino wool adds gentle warmth, elasticity, and bounce.
Soft enough to wear comfortably next to the skin, Cotton Fine is a lovely choice for baby knits, lightweight garments, socks, mittens, hats, and accessories. Its breathable cotton-rich blend makes it especially versatile for year-round knitting and crochet, including warmer climates.
Cotton Fine is also an excellent weaving yarn, with a smooth feel and beautiful range of colors for handwoven blankets, towels, scarves, and other textile projects. Also lovely for dollmaking fine yarn hair, braids, and crocheted or sewn doll wigs.

Moth-Resistant Treatment
Brown Sheep permanently moth-proofs its wool fibers with Ecolan CEA, a non-insecticide insect-resist treatment added during the dyeing process to make the wool protein unpalatable to the wool moth larvae. Brown Sheep states that the treatment bonds with the wool and does not wash, rub, or dry-clean away.
