Mercerised Cotton 8/4 - Dark red

This range of 8/4 count is useful for so many projects. Used frequently in projects Handwoven magazine especially for rag rugs where the warp will show using a contrasting or coordinating colour will really make the weaving sing. I looked at sourcing the product used in the US but was disappointed in the quality available. Looking closer to home I found this super smooth, strong shiny yarn that's not just for rag rugs! Supplied in over 30 pastel and bright colours it will weave in the warp as well as the weft and can be used successfully on on rigid heddle as well as shaft looms. This weight is thicker than 5/2 and finer than 3/2 but can be used in place of these counts to weave similar projects producing a lighter or heavier cloth if wanted. There are sure to be many uses for this lovely yarn.
