Ashford Yoga and Caterpillar Yarn (cottons)
Yoga yarn is 35% lighter in weight than the 100% cotton in an equivalent weight.
So, knit and weave your fabrics, jackets, pull-overs, scarves, shawls and home wares which will have the bulk and density you want but at the same time staying light!
Our Yoga yarn has a nylon filament core completely covered by a cotton outer wrap! Get the best of both worlds: strength and elasticity of nylons and natural comfort and beauty of cotton!
It is a 2 ply (two threads plied together) yarn - each ply is cotton spun over the nylon filament - the nylon filament is not visible and it will dye like 100% cotton.
It is such a pleasure to weave with this yarn. Due to the slight elasticity of the yarn there will be no more “saggy shed” when weaving on a rigid heddle loom!
This is Ne 8/2, but looks and weaves like Ne 5/2. You can use it in warp and weft and in any combination with other yarns
Add colour, texture and interest to your projects with our Caterpillar Cotton.
100% cotton variegated dyed yarn with a beautiful crimpy, spiral plied texture.
Lovely and light weight - perfect for weaving, knitting and crochet - so soft and great to work with. Voluminous but not heavy with twice the bulk for the weight of the yarn.
Use alone or in combination with any of our solid colour cottons. Refer to the Colour Palette to see the solid colours used to create the variegated colourways.
Creates a woven fabric that is so light and soft, lovely to wear against the skin
