Brassard 8/2 Cotton

1680 yds per half pound tube

Great for home textiles such as napkins, dishtowels, tablecloths. Good for sturdy, lighter-weight fabrics for handsewn clothing.

For rigid heddle looms, use doubled or with two heddles. All 81 colors available.

Note: You can mix cotton and cottolin—one as warp, the other as weft—but I generally do not combine them in a warp or in a weft due to difference in rates of shrinkage.

Same weight as 8/2 cotton. Slightly more durable. Feels a little more crisp.
