A unique textured cotton yarn with multicolored tones and a distinctive spiral structure. Ashford Caterpillar yarn brings instant texture, movement and visual richness to your textile creations.

Description

This 100% cotton yarn features a crimped spiral structure that creates a subtle yet dynamic textured effect in the fabric. Its slightly boucle surface reflects light and adds depth to woven surfaces.

Dyed in multicolor shades, it allows you to achieve rich visual effects without changing yarn. It can be used on its own or combined with a plain yarn to enhance contrast and texture.

Developed by Ashford, this yarn is especially appreciated in weaving as a weft yarn, where it highlights patterns and adds character to the fabric.
