Cotton 4/8 from Maurice Brassard is a Canadian weaving yarn that has earned a loyal following among weavers for its consistency, value, and extraordinary colour range. Non-mercerized, it has a matte, natural finish rather than the sheen of treated cotton: making it well suited to projects where a clean, unpretentious fabric is the goal. The generous 227g cone at 760m makes it practical for larger weaving projects where yardage requirements are significant. Also useful for knitters working at a fine gauge who want a crisp, structured cotton fabric
designed for a job, and excellent at it
Cotton 4/8 is a yarn that we would categorize as a specialist. Some yarns are generalists. Specialist yarns are not. These are designed to excel at a particular task: durable sock yarns, sturdy weaving yarns, hardworking cottons for dishcloths and utility knits. When used for their intended purpose, they perform beautifully.
Cotton 4/8 is primarily for weaving, and has the strong tensile strength needed to provide structure on a loom. It excels at making woven dishcloths & towels.
Specialists are happiest doing the job they were designed for. Using them outside that role can lead to unexpected results: less elasticity, different wear, or a fabric that behaves differently than you expect. Swatching is especially helpful if you’re planning to experiment.
