Discover the Magic of James C. Brett Cotton Waves Yarn Cakes

What Are Cotton Waves Yarn Cakes?

Cotton Waves is a lightweight double-knitting (DK) yarn spun from 100 % soft, breathable cotton. Each cake weighs 100 g and offers approx. 210 metres (228 yards) of yarn. The fibre is self-striping, so colours flow seamlessly as you stitch, no joins, no knots, just effortless gradients.

Good to know: Every Cotton Waves shade is perfectly matched to work with any DK pattern available on our Ophelia Talks Crochet website, so you can dive straight into your favourite designs without recalculating yardage or tension.

• Pretty Purples (WV03) – lilac, mauve & blush in a dreamy swirl
