This range of 8/4 cotton count is super smooth and strong. It’s useful for so many projects:

Rag rugs where the warp will be visible, using a contrasting or coordinating colour.
Table mats and runners, where a thick and firm cloth is required.
Dish cloths and tea towels.
Inkle weaving.
Crochet, using a 2.5mm hook.
Knitting summer weight garments, using 2.5mm / size 12 needles.

This yarn is ideal as both a warp and weft on both rigid heddle and shaft looms.

8/4 is thicker than 5/2 and finer than 3/2, but can be used in place of these counts to weave similar projects producing a lighter or heavier cloth if wanted.

We also stock 29 colours of mercerised cotton in this count.
