July is Yarnplaza Cotton Month!

It’s July already! Did you know that July gets its name from Julius Caesar, ruler of the Roman Empire? I thought that was a fun fact to share at parties and get-togethers. But what’s perhaps even more important to remember is that the seventh month of the calendar year is Yarnplaza Cotton Month. :) “What does that mean?” you might rightly ask. I’ll explain that to you in this blog post!

Promotion


We’ve selected ten lovely cotton yarns from five brands. Throughout the month of July, one or two of these yarns will be on sale at a 10% discount every few days. After that short period, another lovely ball of cotton will go on sale. This will continue through July 31, 2021.

If you spend at least €35 on yarns that are currently on sale, you’ll also receive a fun surprise package from us as a gift. All you have to do is enter the coupon code “surprise” before checking out.

In the summer, I prefer to work with cotton. A warm ball of wool on your lap while you’re lying on a folding chair on the beach isn’t, in my opinion, ideal. Just give me a nice, brightly colored ball of cotton to work with my Crochet Hook. Add a cold drink and the occasional refreshing dip in the pool or the waters of the Adriatic coast, and you won’t hear a peep out of me!

To make sure you can create your own perfect crafting moments this month, I’m sharing the dates in this blog when your (favorite) cotton balls will be on sale. That way, you can mark your calendar in big letters so you know when to sit down at your laptop or plan a trip to the Yarnplaza Inspiration Center. Got a pen and paper? Here we go!

SMC Catania 106 White
SMC Catania 380 Kachelblue
SMC Catania 431 Curry
SMC Catania 427 Scampi
We’re kicking off this month with one of our all-time cotton favorites: SMC Catania. SMC Catania is a lustrous and soft 100% cotton yarn, made from high-quality cotton. With a ball of Catania, you can create the most fantastic projects, because the yarn is available in many different colors. Creating your own color combinations is therefore no trouble at all with SMC Catania. And if you’re unsure whether this yarn is right for your next project, we’d be happy to put your mind at ease. Catania yarn is particularly well-suited for knitting and crocheting projects such as Amigurumi, home decor, and accessories. Oh, and did you know that SMC Catania has been awarded the OEKO-TEX® certification? This means that SMC Catania yarn contains no harmful substances and is produced in a way that’s safe for people and the environment. That makes crocheting with Catania even more enjoyable, doesn’t it?!

Pink Label Organic Cotton 018 Lisa - Taupe
Pink Label Mixed Up 057 Heather - Fuchsia
Pink Label Mixed Up 070 Angel - Soft Peach
Next up are the Pink Label Yarns Organic Cotton and Mixed Up. I’m going to start with the Organic Cotton—another eco-friendly yarn! Pink Label Organic Cotton has a fine strand made from 100% soft, organic Cotton. This skein is incredibly easy to work with for all kinds of different projects. Knit a cute little sweater for your (grand)daughter, crochet reusable Face Scrubbies, get started on a handmade bag, or treat your home to a new accessory. You can do it all with Pink Label Organic Cotton!

One Pink Label yarn that’s also part of Yarnplaza’s Cotton Month is Mixed Up—a ball of yarn that’s perfect for making Amigurumi. The yarn is made of 60% Cotton and 40% Acrylic. Because Mixed Up yarn is so wonderfully soft, it’s also fantastic for making clothing and home decor. In short, it’s a true all-rounder!

Durable Cosy Fine 352 Lime
Durable Cosy Fine 2180 Bright Yellow
Durable Coral 261 Lilac
Durable Coral 2138 Pacific Green
Halfway through the Yarnplaza Cotton Month, Durable’s Coral and Cosy Fine yarns are on sale. Both yarns are discounted by 10% from July 14 through July 20.

Durable Coral is a beautifully soft and lustrous Crochet Cotton with a slightly thinner Needle Size (2.5–3.5 mm). The yarn is made from 100% mercerized cotton and is available in a wonderfully extensive color palette of… get ready… 85 different colors. So crocheting or knitting accessories, home decor, Kidswear, or a cute Amigurumi cuddly toy in your favorite color is a breeze!

Durable Cosy Fine is a blended yarn made of cotton and Acrylic. It has a slightly larger Needle Size than Durable Coral—4 mm. This makes a ball of Cosy Fine ideal for summer projects like cardigans and shawls. The Cosy Fine color palette complements the Durable Coral color range perfectly. Combining these two Durable yarns works wonderfully!

Yarn and Colors Baby Fabulous 072 Glass
Yarn and Colors Epic 002 Cream
Yarn and Colors Must-have 047 Old Pink
Three yarns from Yarn and Colors are also part of the promotion. Starting with the Yarn and Colors Must-have. The yarn is made of 100% mercerized cotton and comes in no fewer than 101 colors! It has a soft feel and a subtle sheen, making it perfect for Amigurumi, home decor, and clothing. The Must-have also carries the OEKO-TEX® certification, making this all-around yarn an excellent choice for both people and the environment. And don’t forget the extensive color selection—another big plus!

Are you looking for a soft, 100% Cotton yarn with a matte finish for your next project? Then Yarn and Colors Epic is definitely worth a try! Epic is a yarn with a matte, natural look and is ideal for all kinds of projects. Does this cotton yarn from Yarn and Colors also come in a wide range of colors? Absolutely! You can choose from no fewer than 102 colors of Yarn and Colors Epic. This means you can give your crochet or knitting project as many as 102 different looks. Wow! Would you like to combine Yarn and Colors’ cotton yarns? You can! The three skeins combine with each other with great ease.

In addition to Must-have and Epic, Yarn and Colors Baby Fabulous is also part of the collection. Baby Fabulous is a fine, soft, and versatile blended yarn made from Cotton and Acrylic. Each skein is suitable for Needle Size 4–5 and comes in 35 beautiful colors. The yarn has a fine texture, making Baby Fabulous a joy to crochet or knit with. What would you like to make with Yarn and Colors Baby Fabulous?

Phildar Phil Coton 3 2151 Opaline
Last but certainly not least, two yarns from Phildar are also included. Phildar Phil Coton 3 has been a wildly popular yarn among many crafters for years. Why? The Coton 3 yarn doesn’t split while crocheting or knitting and is enriched with aloe vera. This gives the yarn a soothing and protective effect on the skin. Phildar Phil Coton 3 is an ideal yarn to work with, wear, or use!

The last cotton yarn participating in the Yarnplaza Cotton Month is Phildar Phil Coton 4. Just like Phildar Phil Coton 3, this skein is enriched with aloe vera and comes in the same color palette. The difference lies in the yarn’s thickness. Phil Coton 3 is suitable for a 2.5–3 mm needle, while Phildar Phil Coton 4 is suitable for a 3.5–4 mm Needle Size. Which Phildar Phil Coton yarn would you choose? Number 3 or number 4?

We hope you have lots of fun crocheting and knitting with Cotton this summer. And if you’d like to treat yourself to something extra, spend at least €35 on yarns that are on sale at the time, and we’ll send you a really nice surprise package as a gift.
