Organic Cotton from ONION is a sport weight yarn spun from 100% cotton — a straightforward, honest plant-based fibre that does exactly what you need it to do. For knitters with sensitivities to animal fibres, it's an excellent and reliable choice, offering all the pleasure of working with a quality yarn without any of the irritation that wool can sometimes cause. Cotton produces a fabric that is light, breathable, and naturally cooling against the skin, which makes this an ideal yarn to reach for when warmer weather projects are on the needles — think summer tops, beach cover-ups, and lightweight accessories that actually get worn. Beyond its practical qualities, cotton is also a strong and stable fibre with very little stretch, which gives it a crispness that works particularly well in patterns with lacy or openwork motifs, where stitch definition really matters and the structure of the fabric gets to speak for itself. Available in a wide range of solid colours spanning subtle, versatile neutrals through to vibrant, confident brights, there is genuinely something in the ONION palette for everyone.
