Rainbow Cotton 8/6

Meet Rainbow Cotton 8/6, the versatile middle-weight yarn of the Rainbow family!

Rainbow Cotton 8/6 is spun from 100% pure cotton and has an extremely versatile weight right between 8/4 and 8/8. Not too thin and fine, not too big or rustic. The yarn has a light and firm structure that ensures an even stitch pattern and high durability in your finished projects.

With 50 grams (1.76 oz) and 105 meters (115 yds) per skein, you get a thicker cotton yarn that feels great in your hands and makes it easy for you to achieve uniform and stable results.

The color palette is diverse and well-balanced, with everything from bright, saturated hues to dusty tones and light pastels. This provides ample opportunity for both simple designs and colorful patterns.

Rainbow Cotton 8/6 is well-suited for interiors like dishcloths, towels, and pot holders, but it’s also great for amigurumi. Since cotton fibers are good at conducting excess heat away from the body, the yarn is also the perfect choice for children's clothing and other garments. We recommend 3,5 mm knitting needles or a 4.5 mm crochet hook, depending on the desired result.

If that all was not enough already, another great thing about our Rainbow Cotton is that they are vegan-dyed.

Rainbow Cotton 8/6 combines structure and durability with a comfy weight and will quickly become an indispensable yarn in your stash.

NB: We’ve updated Rainbow Cotton 8/6. The product and the colors are the same as always, only the label got a fresh, new look. Please bear with us while we phase out our stock with the old labels. Rainbow Cotton 8/6, originating from Turkish cotton, is undergoing a transition towards a GOTS certificate to ensure the highest ecological standards. In addition, the yarn is also EN71-3 certified

Pro tip: You can use the same amigurumi pattern regardless of the Rainbow yarn weight. Just adjust the size of your crochet hook to fit the yarn. The results are the same, but the sizes will vary. Lace = mini, 8/4 = small, 8/6 = bigger, 8/8 = biggest.
