COTON NATURA 1 PELOTES DE 50G

For your light and breathable summer creations, this ball of DMC Natura Just Cotton 302 cotton in Aguamarina N25 color offers a soothing blue-green shade, perfect for sweaters, cardigans and accessories that require fluidity. The thread wraps around the hand gently and slides easily between the needles, without snags or knots.

100% cotton spun and twisted in France , this 50 g ball combines strength and flexibility. The natural fiber breathes when worn, absorbs moisture without weighing down the mesh, and can be machine washed at 40°C without fear. The Aguamarina N25 color, between blue and sea green, goes as well with neutrals as with off-whites or very pale pinks. Perfect for needles 4 to 5.5 mm depending on your working tension.

Work without needles that are too long — limit to 50 cm — to preserve the regularity of the thread and limit its fraying over the rows. This ball easily covers a pair of adult socks or the sleeves of a light vest. The yarn takes natural dyes beautifully: check that your rinse is perfect to avoid any bleeding during the first wash.

• Knit a summer sweater without lining to let the cotton breathe in July-August.
• Crochet a shawl or a triangular scarf for cool evenings in the mid-season.
• Combine two balls for a gradient playing on the green-blue shades of the Natura range.
• Make thin socks or mittens to match your summer wardrobe.
• Mix with a very fine transparent Lurex thread for a delicate shine without visual overload.

Pair this cotton with small circumference circular needles for ribbing on the cuffs, or finer straight needles to screen the details of an airy pattern. The thread takes fancy stitches well – lace, openwork – and tolerates darning very well without linting. For a contrast, pair it with a pearl gray or natural beige from the same range.
