8/2 Cotton (also known as 2/8) is a weaving staple! It is perfect for weaving towels, clothing and table linens. What we like about cotton:

• Absorbent qualities excellent for towels
• Strong enough for warp
• Washes well and stands up to wear and tear
• Huge colour selection to find exactly the right combination

This is the yarn that we use most frequently in our studio weaving, and it's not even close! We use it for absolutely everything, from scarves to towels to yardage for sewing. This is a tried and true, indispensable weaving yarn.
