Scheepjes Cotton 8 – 50g – Natural Matte Cotton Yarn for Amigurumi

Scheepjes Cotton 8 – The Authentic Matte Cotton

The natural choice for creations with a matte finish and absolute softness.

Cotton 8 by Scheepjes is a premium quality, unmercerized cotton yarn that stands out for its pure and natural appearance. Very soft to the touch, it is particularly recommended for making baby clothes, light blankets, and, of course, authentic vintage-style amigurumis.

Why choose Cotton 8?

• 100% Matte Finish: Without the shine of mercerized cotton, Cotton 8 offers a sober and elegant look, ideal for projects where a natural texture is desired.
• Softness and Breathability: Its natural composition makes it extremely pleasant to wear and handle. It is perfect for sensitive skin.
• Total Versatility: While beloved for stuffed toys, it also excels in home accessories (washcloths, hand towels) thanks to its excellent absorption capacity.

Technical Specifications:

• Composition: 100% Cotton.
• Weight / Yardage: 50g ball / approx. 170 meters.
• Recommended Hook Size: 2.50 mm to 3.00 mm.
• Care: Machine washable up to 40°C.

Shop's Tip: "Cotton 8 is slightly thinner than Catona (170m vs 125m per 50g). It's perfect if you find your amigurumis are too 'stiff' with classic cotton. For a very neat result, we recommend using a 2.25 mm or 2.5 mm hook."
