Karen is 100% cotton. It is a bulky thread with a shine, great for very heavy weaves such as rugs and bags. Each skein is 3.52 oz. 87 yards, and comes in 27 colors. Recommended hook size J/10, size 8 needles.
Many people have asked me what is the ideal cotton yarn for a potholder. So I asked the company designers and they said Karen is perfect. So I made these up and was it fun to work with. And very quick!! These were made with one skein. What a great gift!!
