What is cotton yarn? 

Cotton yarns are spun from fibres found in the seed pod of the cotton plant. Natural cotton is usually white. After being harvested the cotton is cleaned, dyed and spun into yarn. Compared to wool, cotton is inelastic. Consequently, it lacks the "bounce" of other natural fibres. Blending cotton with synthetic fibres allows the cotton to stretch, lessens the weight and allows it to dry faster. Cotton knitting yarn creates great stitch definition. It is durable, holds colour well and washes easily.
