I know you all marked your calendars for part three of our roundup of the plant-based and non-wool blends on our shelves, so I will dive in without further ado.
Shiny Happy Cotton - 100% pima cotton
Soft and sleek, with a beautiful drape, Shiny Happy Cotton is the perfect yarn in warmer months but truly great for any season. This yarn loves moss stitch, garter, and stockinette and does really well with crochet stitches, too! It is an excellent choice for garments and accessories such as shawls and, of course, an ideal yarn for baby and children's wear.
Malibu Sweater - Koryn crocheted this sweater, and it is the cutest thing ever. This top, filled with fun colors, is perfect for spring, summer, or fall. Drop by the shop to see it in person!
Stripey Coco Marine - I am in love with striped sweaters these days, and I especially love nautical navy and white stripes.
Rowan Summerlite DK - 100% cotton (this also comes in a fingering, Summerlite 4-ply)
This classic pure cotton with a beautiful, soft matte finish, knits to a standard DK-weight. It is available in a stunning selection of colors, from soft pastels to jewel-like brights. It's an easy choice for any lightweight project and is machine washable too.
The Romanticist's Bandana - One skein of Summerlite DK will make this darling bandana. This project is a great way to try knitting with cotton!
Ruff - For those of you who are wool-averse, this Arne & Carlos shawl is a nice option for accessory knitting.
Appalachian Baby Organic Cotton - 100% US organic cotton
How could I not include Appalachian Baby Cotton? Their baby kits and yarns are among our best sellers in the shop. All of the cotton can be machine-washed and dried, which makes the yummiest baby items. The Organic Cotton Yarn is from sustainable family-owned cotton farms and family mills and is dyed with a low-impact, earth-friendly dying process.
Bonjour Baby Blanket - This soft and squishy ribbed blanket is a joy to knit and gift. Six cakes of Appalachian Baby's signature eco-friendly dyed U.S. Organic Cotton will knit up in no time.
Baby Soft Blanket - Beautiful "knit below" stitch that creates an exceptionally textured baby blanket, which is an easy-care machine wash and dry. This has been a best seller in the shop for years!
Hopefully, we have inspired you to try some of these extraordinary yarns. If you are new to these yarns, a dishcloth or a Sophie Scarf are perfect projects to sample a new fiber. So go forth and try something new!
