Mayflower Cotton 8/4 is a classic. A 4-ply yarn in 100% pure cotton of the best quality. Probably our most well-known yarn and the original specialty since Mayflower was founded over 70 years ago.

Cotton 8/4 is both durable and soft. It is breathable and wicks away excess heat, making it particularly suitable for, for example, summer clothing. The yarn is also very suitable for both knitted and crocheted dishcloths, as cotton has a high absorbency and withstands washing at high temperatures. 8/4 cotton yarn is also the preferred crochet yarn for items like teddy bears.

Cotton in 8/4 thickness is one of the most used yarn qualities in Denmark. At the same time, cotton yarn was also one of the primary yarns and a hallmark for Mayflower right from the start in 1951. Mayflower Cotton 8/4 was one of our first popular yarn qualities, and the many years of expertise in cotton we still use today to produce some of the best cotton yarn on the market.

Cotton 8/4 consists of 100% pure cotton of really good quality, which ensures that the cotton yarn is both soft and durable. These are just two of the properties that have made Mayflower Cotton 8/4 a sought-after type of yarn, but there are also many other reasons to choose the 4-ply classic.

Cotton is an organic and pure natural material, which ensures good breathability. Cotton also leads excess heat away from the body, making Cotton 8/4 particularly suitable for, for example, summer clothes, which preferably should not become too warm. The possibilities are many with pure cotton: fine tops and light blouses, baby knitting, baby blankets, or a crocheted bucket hat. An 8/4 cotton behaves best on needle 3mm. Amigurumi and crocheted teddy bears are also good to crochet in Cotton 8/4.

Cotton yarn also excels in having a fantastic absorbency, which is why pure cotton yarn is typically used for crocheted and knitted dishcloths. Be aware that all pure cotton can actually withstand up to boiling wash, which is important for, for example, dishcloths and towels. However, the colors may fade at high temperatures. Therefore, we generally recommend washing blouses and the like at max 40 degrees, so your clothes stay nice longer.

If you want inspiration for the many possibilities with Cotton 8/4, you can look at our free Patterns with 8/4 cotton yarn. You can find both knitting and crochet patterns, so there is plenty of inspiration to be found for free download.

Fantastic experience.
Completely painless experience buying yarn from Mayflower. My order was sent off super quickly and I already had my package the next day. It was extremely great, as I needed it as a gift!

Kristian

Good experience in the webshop and great handling of complaints. In March, I bought a lot of yarn skeins in the webshop. Super fast delivery and very nice quality yarn: Cotton Merino.

Mette

I bought a lot of yarn from the webshop after getting really good guidance over the phone. The yarn was really good. The problem was the delivery with dao, which did not live up to what was ordered. I wrote to mayflower to make them aware of it, and was called by the nicest Lady, who was happy for the feedback and compensated my wasted delivery costs. That's what I call really good customer service.
