Frizzy Cotton: the Vegan Yarn That Feels Like Wool
Finding a cotton yarn that feels as soft and fluffy as wool isn’t easy. Most cotton yarns tend to have a smoother, more compact texture—sometimes even a little stiff to the touch. But Frizzy Cotton breaks all the rules: it’s lightweight and breathable, just as you’d expect from a quality cotton yarn, yet it brings with it a softness and volume that we usually associate with wool-based fibers.
Made of 85% Makò cotton and 15% recycled nylon, Frizzy Cotton is fresh, airy, and incredibly pleasant to work with. It offers a surprisingly cozy feel for a cotton yarn. If you love fluffy textures but are looking for something lighter and perfect for the mid-season, this might just become your new go-to yarn.
It’s a one-of-a-kind yarn, also ideal for those who choose not to use animal-derived materials, but still want that soft, comfortable feel and rich texture in their handmade creations.
Trust us: your next projects won’t go unnoticed.
What is Frizzy Cotton?
Frizzy Cotton is a yarn with a cloud-like look—light as air, but with a strong, distinctive personality. Its soft, crimped structure creates a textured, voluminous visual effect that stands out even with the simplest stitches. The cotton-based composition, with just a small percentage of nylon, makes it breathable, gentle on the skin, and durable over time.
Let’s be honest: it’s not exactly a beginner-friendly yarn. If you make mistakes, you’ll need a little more experience to unravel your work. But here’s the good news—it hides imperfections beautifully! Small mistakes or irregularities are barely noticeable thanks to the soft and fluffy texture, so even if your stitches aren’t perfect, the final result will still look gorgeous and well-balanced.
