 | Anchor Cotton Perle
Due to customer demand we are proud to introduce all 4 weights of mercerised pearl cotton perfect for you to embroider, crochet and make lace. Being bright optic white it's also perfect for dyeing |
|  | Penguin Cotton
We have had lots of enquiries for fine cotton and here is a special purchase of limited supplies of both ercerised and soft cotton yarns. The Emperor mercerised is very similar to Perle 12.
100% Pure Cotton
2/16cc - 1350m per cone. Both yarns are exactly the same count, however the mercerised looks slightly thinner as it has a slightly tighter twist.
The Emperor is perfect for weaving in the warp or weft and we would recommend the King for weft. Both will give you soft, lightweight fabrics with a lovely drape. Also excellent for delicate lacemaking and embroidery, crochet and knitting, braids and tassels.
As we bought the yarn from a company called Penguin we have named the mercerised cotton "Emperor" and the soft cotton "King" for clear identification. |
