Whether you’re vegan in every aspect of life, or simply getting into the spirit of #veganuary by fancy switching up your usuals, we thought we’d share just some of our favourite Cotton and synthetic yarns, completely free from any wool content. ?
Cottons
100% Cotton
Available in 4 ranges: Cottonsoft, Candy, Crush, Baby Crush. The Cottonsoft line has some truly beautiful yarns, completely spoiling you for choice with the variety on offer.
Suitable for newborns right up to adults, it’s also the go-to for #OctopusForPreemies, #KnittedKnockers and delicate hats for cancer patients, due to the incredible softness and high cotton content. The durability and eye-catching colourways help to position this as one of our faves.
100% Giza Mercerised Egyptian Cotton
Available in 3 ranges: DK, 4ply, Sorbet 4ply. It’s a firm favourite with crocheters, particularly with our friends at Simply Crochet mag, who have featured 4ply mandalas in every issue for the past year!
