About this yarn

YarnArt Macrame Cotton has the highest cotton content of the Macrame family at 80%, making it wonderfully versatile. You can use it for knotting (macrame), but it can also be knitted and crocheted with a 5 mm needle – one yarn for multiple techniques.

The medium thickness and sturdy, cotton-rich thread create beautiful, clear stitches and knots. Due to the high cotton content, it feels cool and natural, while the touch of polyester ensures shape retention.

One ball weighs 250 grams and yields approximately 225 meters.
