What is cotton yarn 8/4?

The numbers '8/4' refer to the thickness of the yarn. Cotton 8/4 is made of 4 individual threads twisted together into one thicker thread. Since there are only 4 threads, Mayflower cotton yarn 8/4 is much finer and lighter than, for example, 8/8 cotton yarn.

This means that this type of yarn is highly suitable for many different projects. Despite being a thinner yarn variant, you still get plenty of durability, along with the softness and comfort you expect from cotton.

Cotton yarn 8/4 can be used for items such as blankets, doilies, and dishcloths, and it is also ideal for other knitting and crochet projects such as toys and clothing. The yarn is particularly suitable for summer clothing, as it is lightweight and breathable, allowing the body to expel excess heat. Yarn spun from cotton therefore does not get as warm as wool yarn, for example.
