Use it alone or as a pattern weft in an overshot with 3/2 or 5/2 Pearl Cotton. Log cabin weaving patterns look great when alternating chenille with a smooth yarn in a Contrasting Color, we recommend Combining Casco Bay Cotton Chenille and Pearl Cotton, Tencel or Bamboo. When weaving with chenille in your warp be sure to tame your fringe ends by twisting or braiding, or you can hem the edges to avoid unraveling. Knitters and crocheters love the soft, plush touch. The plush texture and lack of elasticity Can make Chenille a bit more difficult to work with so you may want slippery needles such as our Addi Turbos to improve your speed. Try substituting Cotton Chenille in all your favorite worsted weight knitting patterns… Casco Bay Cotton Chenille is available in easy to use Cones in either an economical one pound size or in convenient mini-Comes. You'll love the gentle, velvety feel of Cotton Chenille!
Casco Bay Cottons care:
Machine washability and subtle Colors that fade softly and gradually make these ideal yarns for easy care children's sweaters and baby blankets. As with any cotton some shrinkage may occur after washing. To accurately determine sizing and sett or gauge be sure to wash and finish your swatch as you will your completed piece. Due to its soft construction, items made with these yarns fill out nicely after gentle machine washing and drying. When working with bold or highly contrasting colors we suggest testing for color fastness. It is not uncommon for excess dye to be present in strong colors. If bleeding occurs, skein and wash until the water runs clear and let hang dry.

Halcyon Yarn's Signature Botanica wool yarn is a unique 100% wool yarn for knitters and weavers. Botanica’s lush and vibrant color palette is a favorite for knitting, felting and weaving. The hard to find colors make it especially interesting for knitting intarsia and fair isle designs. The unique spiraled 2-ply twist creates a distinctive yarn with a shadowed or corded appearance that looks fantastic in every stitch and lends great texture and definition to any piece. Worsted spun from a special quality wool for exceptional shine, luster and durability with a soft and springy hand, Botanica worsted wool is far less likely to pill than other Comparable yarns. Botanica is a little more dense, with fewer yards per pound than a standard worsted weight yarn so you will need to add an extra 25-30% yarn by weight or purchase comparable yardages. Felted knitting made with Botanica has a wonderfully pebbled texture and an elegant “finished” look that does not "pill" easily, making it outstanding for outerwear.
Halcyon's Botanica yarn is durable, holds its shape well and is mothproofed for added longevity making it a great yarn for classic pieces you'll hand down for generations!
Weavers: Botanica is stretchy so when winding your warp, add at least 10-20% extra to the length because the warp will shorten considerably when tension is released. When weaving, always release the warp tension before measuring the picks of your weft, otherwise it will be inaccurate. The smoothness of Botanica makes densely warped double weave a snap. Botanica's smooth texture combines beautifully with mohair or bouclé making those yarns easier to use in weaving.
Care: Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry.
