Lang Yarns Baby Cotton Color – cotton yarn, 50 g, sport weight

Lang Yarns Baby Cotton Color – fine cotton yarn for summer knits

Baby Cotton Color by Lang Yarns is a cotton yarn for knitting light summer pieces. According to the manufacturer, it is made from fine, long-staple organic cotton. The yarn is 100% cotton, so it is plant-based, breathable and soft on the skin. Choose your colour from the options.

One ball weighs 50 g and has a length of approx. 180 m. This helps with planning quantities: 100 g gives you approx. 360 m. Lang Yarns classes the yarn as sport weight and recommends needles of 2.5–3 mm.

What the yarn is suited to

Cotton is less elastic than virgin wool and gives less when worn. That makes the yarn a good choice for summer pieces such as light tops, shawls or accessories. The combination of cotton and sport weight gives a fine, airy fabric. Knit evenly, as irregularities show up more clearly in cotton than in wool.

Tension and quantities

The ball band gives 25 stitches and 34 rows over 10 × 10 cm. What matters is the tension given in your pattern; the figure on the ball band is only a guide. Work out the quantity you need from the length of approx. 180 m per ball. For larger pieces, buy all the balls from the same dye lot if possible, so that there are no colour differences.

Care

The manufacturer recommends using a detergent for delicates. You will find further care instructions on the ball band.
