Caron All Day is a soft yet versatile 100% cotton yarn, perfect for all projects. Choose from a variety of colors to make any pattern reflect your personal style, and the mercerized cotton offers a smooth finish and beautiful sheen to any project.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter making a few of our own projects with this thread, here's what we've found:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrisp stitch definition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercerized cotton never disappoints when it comes to stitch definition, and this is no exception. We love the way the stitches look both knit and crocheted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlocks well: \u003c\/strong\u003eLay flat and reshape any time you need to wash it. Even after the swatches got crumped up in Stephanie's knitting bag, they still blocked flat with no fuss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnds may unply themselves:\u003c\/strong\u003e If you have loose dangling ends, it's easy for the plies to split away from each other. We recommend tying a small overhand knot right near the end of the yarn, or a slip knot if you want to take it out later. This will help secure the plies together and greatly reduce any wear that would split the yarn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeedle and hook material matters: \u003c\/strong\u003eCotton is a less forgiving material when it comes to tension, and works up best on metal needles and hooks. Wood tools may be too grippy to be comfortable, especially for long periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot as splitty as expected: \u003c\/strong\u003eBecause the final ply is a Z-twist, this is \u003cem\u003eperfect\u003c\/em\u003e as a crochet cotton. It even works well for knitting, and was far less splitty than our swatchers expected it to be. However, newer knitters may find it more splitty than widely available acrylic or wool yarns, simply because it's a plied cotton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoft and skin-friendly: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis works beautifully for next-to-skin garments for those that prefer cotton, and could even work for baby blankets since it's machine wash\/dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSwatch details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll swatches were wet blocked before measuring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKnit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwatcher: \u003c\/strong\u003eHelene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeedles: \u003c\/strong\u003e4.5mm (US 7)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStitch: \u003c\/strong\u003eStockinette with a seed stitch border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 stitches and 30 rows per 4\" \/ 10cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCrochet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwatcher: \u003c\/strong\u003eKai\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHook: \u003c\/strong\u003e5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStitch: \u003c\/strong\u003eHalf double crochet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGauge: \u003c\/strong\u003e16 stitches and 11 rows per 4\" \/ 10cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWeave\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwatcher: \u003c\/strong\u003eStephanie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSett: \u003c\/strong\u003e8 ends per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStructure: \u003c\/strong\u003ePlain weave, 26 picks per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarp:\u003c\/strong\u003e Size 10 crochet cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Caron","offers":[{"title":"Cream","offer_id":52475216527541,"sku":"715631","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Jute","offer_id":52475216560309,"sku":"715633","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grape Popsicle","offer_id":52475216593077,"sku":"715634","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Kiwi","offer_id":52475216625845,"sku":"715636","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red Lip","offer_id":52475216658613,"sku":"715642","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":52475216691381,"sku":"715640","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Shirt","offer_id":52475216724149,"sku":"715644","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Slate","offer_id":52475216756917,"sku":"715645","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grass Green","offer_id":52475216789685,"sku":"715646","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Summer Night","offer_id":52475216822453,"sku":"715649","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Moss","offer_id":52475216855221,"sku":"715647","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cloud Gray","offer_id":52475216887989,"sku":"715651","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Coffee Bean","offer_id":52475216920757,"sku":"715652","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Eyes Blue","offer_id":52475216953525,"sku":"715657","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Watermelon","offer_id":52475216986293,"sku":"715656","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cherry","offer_id":52475217019061,"sku":"715658","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bermuda Teal","offer_id":52475217051829,"sku":"715660","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Golden","offer_id":52475217084597,"sku":"715661","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0642\/0332\/5621\/files\/IMG_3235.jpg?v=1779399499","url":"https:\/\/starfishfibers.com\/products\/caron-all-day-cotton","provider":"Starfish Fibers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
