Lang Yarns Wooladdicts Sunshine – mercerised cotton yarn, 50 g

Lang Yarns Wooladdicts Sunshine – lightweight mercerised cotton summer yarn

Wooladdicts Sunshine from Lang Yarns is a summer yarn made of 100% mercerised cotton for lightweight knitting projects in the warm season. Mercerisation is a finishing process for cotton and gives the yarn a slightly glossy surface. The yarn is airy and has a chainette look. It is a solid colour (plain), so patterns and textures show up well. Choose your colour from the options.

One ball weighs 50 g and has a length of approx. 95 m. That works out at approx. 190 m per 100 g, so you can plan the quantity needed for your project from the pattern.

What to use Sunshine for

Sunshine suits summer tops, lightweight jumpers, shawls and accessories. The yarn weight corresponds to aran, and needles of 4.5–5.0 mm give a loose, airy fabric. As the yarn is a solid colour, ribs, cables and lace patterns stand out clearly. Cotton has less give than wool. Knit evenly and not too tightly so that the finished piece drapes softly.

Tension and quantity planning

The ball band gives 18 stitches and 24 rows over 10 × 10 cm. What matters is the tension given in your pattern; the figure on the ball band is only a guide. With a length of approx. 95 m per 50 g, you can work out the number of balls needed from the metres stated in your pattern. Buy the whole quantity at once if possible, from the same dye lot.
