Soft, natural cotton - the perfect yarn for crafting during those warmer months, or for those who can't wear wool. You can knit or crochet this beautiful yarn using your favourite 8 ply cotton patterns. Our 100% Cotton yarns are also a popular choice for weaving or macrame projects.

Also available in 4 and 10 ply. 

This Bendigo Woollen Mills 8 ply cotton is a customer favourite and part of our core collection of yarns. We keep it in stock year round, but introduce and retire some colours seasonally.

Note: Some of our yarn is being balled on a different machine, so some dyelots will be in a different shape to our usual donut balls. Rest assured that it is the same great product, just in a slightly different format!

Why Choose?

Soft and breathable: 100% Cotton is cool and breathable, perfect for warmer climates or lightweight projects.

Vibrant Colours: 32 carefully selected colours in the range - from vibrant brights to gentle pastels and striking neutrals.

Great for sensitive skin: Cotton is a fantastic choice for those with sensitive skin or who are sensitive to wool.

Living in Queensland I use mainly cotton when I crochet...I crochet blankets and throws. I love the soft feel of cotton and it crochets up very nicely. Service is great and you can be sure that when you order, it gets to you as soon as possible. Great products, great service...what more could you want!

Yarn is finer than wool yarns

The cotton is very pleasant to use. I do find it seems finer than your wool yarns. I finally used a finer hook to get a correct stitch count. The return action was very easy and my credit payment was returned within a week.
