This cotton yarn is perfect for kitchen and home decor items. It rises above other kitchen cottons and is soft and drapeable enough to be used for apparel and accessories. Creme de la Creme is also slightly finer than other kitchen cottons, meaning you get more yards per ball. It works up quickly with both knitting and crochet. Weight Category: 4, 100% combed cotton.
