Finally! We've found an 8/4 cotton yarn that we know you will love just as much as we do!
It's the absolutely softest cotton we've found in this size catagory. Ideal for baby clothes and blankets as well as super-comfort tops, sweaters and even skirts.
Machine knitters rave about using Cotton Tail 8/4. On a standard machine knit at stitch size 9 or 10; with 7-8 sts and 11-12 rows/inch. Midgauge single strand size 4 or 5 or double strand stitch size 8.
This yarn hand knits beautifully in stockinette, fairisle, tuck or slip stitch.
Handweavers love to mix and match this with our 8/2 cotton, Aurora Earth.
Over 40 gorgeous colors to now choose from with emphasis on lots of pastel and bright shades. Ecru and White are available for immediate delivery. Allow 1-2 weeks for all other colors.

Color Cards: If you are particular about color, the best way to see actual dyed yarn samples is to order the individual Color Card for the yarn you are interested in. This will give you the truest way to know what color you are ordering. Every yarn has it's own color card. Skein and cone colors are shown on the same card. Many of our color cards are also available as color copies made on a high quality DC-50 Xerox Color Copier and are fairly true to colors. You can order these through our shopping cart by clicking on the Color Card View/Buy below.
