100% mercerized cotton · silky sheen · perfect for fine crochet and summer projects

About this yarn

YarnArt Begonia is a refined yarn made from 100% mercerized cotton. Mercerization gives the cotton a subtle, silky sheen and a strong, smooth thread — ideal if you want tight, sharply defined stitches.

The yarn is lint-free and breathable, with a fresh and cool feel that is perfect for spring and summer projects. Its fine thickness makes Begonia exceptionally suitable for precision work.

With 50 grams and approximately 169 meters per ball, you have plenty of yarn for fine, detailed creations.

What do you use Begonia for?

Begonia truly shines in fine, detailed work:

·       Amigurumi – razor-sharp stitch definition and a beautiful sheen.

·       Summer tops and clothing – light, cool, and breathable.

·       Fine accessories – bags, jewelry, and summer details.

·       Doilies and covers – ideal for filet and lace work.

·       Baby projects – soft and skin-friendly.

Begonia is part of our cotton yarns collection and is also popular with amigurumi makers.

Helpful tips

·       Knit with 3 mm and crochet with 3.5 mm: mercerized cotton is a bit stiffer, and a slightly larger hook keeps your work supple.

·       For amigurumi, crochet tightly so the figures remain neatly closed.

·       Make a gauge swatch — with fine yarn, even a half-size needle makes a difference.

Care

For Begonia, we recommend hand washing at 30 °C with a mild detergent and gentle handling. Lay your work flat to dry, away from direct sunlight, and do not use bleach, to preserve its sheen and color.
