📍 CONES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE YARN PRICE.
Unlike other shops where cone costs are often built into the yarn price—regardless of the format—our pricing is transparent. You pay only for the yarn itself. If you’d like your order wound on a cone, it can be purchased separately. This small additional charge also helps cover the shipping cost associated with different packaging sizes and the self-cost of the cone. No hidden fees, no inflated markups—just honest, straightforward pricing.

✨ Texture & Feel:
This type of yarn is most commonly called corkscrew yarn or crimp yarn. It's a type of novelty yarn that gets its unique, spring-like texture from a special twisting process, which gives the finished fabric a very textured and lofty appearance. This unique yarn has a natural coiled texture that feels soft and springy to the touch. The high cotton content makes it breathable, while the polyamide provides excellent durability and helps maintain the crimp. When knit, it creates a wonderfully textured fabric with great body and character. 

🧶 A Note from the Knitter
The sample was knit with a single thread and US size 4 needles. After washing, the yarn opened up a little and became soft as cotton. This yarn creates a wonderful, subtle bouclé-like effect, but it is much easier and faster to knit with. Its great quality makes it perfect for mixing with other yarns to add unique character to your knitwear.

🧶 Recommended Use:
As a versatile DK-weight yarn, FRESCOT is ideal for projects where texture is the main feature.
• Garments: Perfect for textured sweaters, cardigans, and tops.
• Accessories: Excellent for hats, cowls, and scarves that will have a lot of body.
• Stitch Patterns: The unique crimp is best showcased with simple stitches like garter, stockinette, and basic ribbing.
• Blankets: This yarn is an excellent choice for knitting a blanket. Its unique coiled texture creates a lofty, squishy fabric that is both warm and breathable due to the high cotton content. To make a faster and cozier blanket, you can knit with two or three strands held together to create a heavier yarn weight.

🧶 Pairing with other yarns: 
This yarn is excellent for holding together with other smooth or fluffy yarns to add unique texture and character to your project. Consider pairing it with a fine silk, a luxurious mohair, or a smooth merino wool to create a custom yarn with interesting visual and tactile properties.

🧶 Knitting with Multiple Strands
• This yarn works beautifully when held with other strands to create a different weight.
• 2 Threads: Creates a Worsted weight yarn with an approximate yardage of 115m (126yd) per 100g.
• 3 Threads: Creates a Bulky weight yarn with an approximate yardage of 77m (84yd) per 100g.

🧶 Recommendations for Weaving:
This yarn is a great choice for weft, adding a unique texture and a soft, full hand to woven pieces. Due to its coiled nature, it is not recommended for warp.

🪡 Recommended Needles & Hooks:
• Knitting Needles: 4.0–5.0 mm (US 6–8)
* The recommended gauge for knitting in a single strand is 21–24 stitches per 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch.
* Use 4.0mm needles for a more compact fabric.
* Use 5.0mm needles for a looser, more lofty fabric that highlights the crimp.
• Crochet Hooks: 4.0–5.5 mm (G-6 to I-9)

📏 Estimated Usage:
• Sweater (M): 350–450g (805–1035m / 880–1132 yd)
• Shawl: 150–200g (345–460m / 377–503 yd)
• Scarf: 100–150g (230–345m / 251–377 yd)

📍 Care Instructions:
• Hand wash gently in cool water with a mild detergent
• Do not wring or twist
• Lay flat to dry out of direct sunlight

📍 Please note:
Most yarn prepared on cones for machine knitting is lightly waxed to ensure smooth running. Once knit, it should be washed to reveal its true softness. This yarn is perfect for both hand and machine knitting, highly recommended for creating premium-quality knitwear.

📸 Please Note:
• The amount of yarn shown on cones in the photos may not reflect the actual quantity you’ll receive. Yarn is custom-wound per your order.
• Colors are photographed in natural lighting but may appear slightly different depending on your screen settings. I recommend zooming in on each photo to fully appreciate the beauty and texture of the yarn.
• ±1–2g variation per 100g may occur due to the winding process.
• Each ball/cone is wound with care and packed securely to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition.
