About this yarn

EFFY Cotton Blend brings 80% cotton and 20% acrylic together in a medium to bulky yarn for all your fibre crafts. With 75 shades, you can build a palette for a small crochet character, a sculpted textile piece or a rug of any shape and size.

Each 200 g cone contains approximately 200 m, with a strand around 5 mm thick. Use it for tufting, crochet, knitting, weaving, punch needle and more, choosing tools and patterns suited to its thickness.

For tufting, use a single strand. New to Cotton Blend? Start with our detailed beginner tufting tutorial on YouTube ↗. Follow the threading, first lines, pressure and spacing step by step.

How many strands do I tuft with?

Use one strand of Cotton Blend. Our full beginner tutorial on YouTube ↗ walks you through threading, your first lines, pressure and spacing.

What can I make with it?

Use it across fibre crafts: tufting, crochet, knitting, weaving, punch needle and more. The projects above are just a few possibilities. Choose tools and patterns suited to its thickness; for punch needle, compatible options include Lavor Chunky, Oxford Regular and ABCD punch needles.

Which carver can I use?

The swatch demonstration uses the Rosewood carver. The heavy-duty carver can also be used with Cotton Blend by experienced users. Begin with dense, even tufting to give the blades a firm surface to work through.

Planning a larger project?

Buy enough yarn for your project together, as colours can vary between dye lots. Check the shop for available colours and bulk offers.

As an avid crochet fanatic, I have been delighted to be introduced to EFFY products by my daughter Jess Pike.
Only have one observation. I have found that the yarn which is woven onto a spool feels much thinner than the yarn in a loose cake.
I personally prefer the loose cake.
Also, very prompt delivery.
I am happy to recommend.
