Review: SRK CoolSpun Cotton

SRK%20CoolSpun%20Cotton.jpgSRK CoolSpun Cotton is a beautiful worsted weight yarn. It's a very soft 100% cotton made by Kertzer, a North American company. It comes in 50 g (1.75 oz) skein that is 79 metres (86 yards) in length, and is machine washable.

I went into a local yarn shop to buy the Lily Sugar & Cream yarn that they usually stock, when I happened upon the CoolSpun kept in the same section. What a delight! Comparable in price (Canadian $2.50/50 g for CoolSpun, and $3.20/70 g for Sugar & Cream) the two yarns are very different in quality. While Sugar & Cream tends to split and tear during use, and has a slightly coarse texture, CoolSpun is a smooth and soft and lovely to use. It doesn't split at all and handles very well, standing up nicely to unravelling and reusing. Pictured here is the ecru and light blue yarn that I bought for making dolls and baby toys.

Available in 30 solids and ombrés, the yarn is excellent for crocheting and knitting washcloths, small toys, and any project that calls for craft cotton.
