Yarns & Warp Yarns for Weaving

Strong cotton warp yarn designed for reliable weaving.
This 100% cotton warp yarn is spun in Germany from American cotton and constructed specifically for use as warp on the loom. The tightly structured yarn provides strength and stability during weaving.
Available in three different thicknesses, the yarn can be used for a wide range of weaving projects — from strong textiles to lighter woven fabrics.
Supplied on 250g cones, the yarn feeds smoothly and consistently when warping and weaving.
The cotton fibre also makes this yarn suitable for traditional natural dyeing, producing beautiful results with natural dyes.
| Size | Length | Construction | Approx. Length per Cone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thick | 133m / 100g | Nm 20/3 × 5 (15-ply) | ~332m |
| Medium | 222m / 100g | Nm 20/3 × 3 (9-ply) | ~555m |
| Thin | 333m / 100g | Nm 20/3 × 2 (6-ply) | ~832m |
These values provide a general starting point. Final sett will vary depending on weave structure and desired fabric density.
| Yarn | Suggested Sett | Suitable Projects |
|---|---|---|
| Thick Cotton Warp | 8–12 epi | rugs, bags, strong textiles |
| Medium Cotton Warp | 12–16 epi | towels, medium fabrics |
| Thin Cotton Warp | 16–22 epi | scarves, lightweight fabrics |
Open weave structures may require a slightly lower sett, while twills and denser fabrics may benefit from a higher sett.
