Caterpillar Cotton
The kit includes 224 g of Ashford Caterpillar Cotton, divided between one full 200 g cone and a 24 g cake in a second colour.
Caterpillar Cotton is a 100% cotton variegated yarn with a spiral construction that gives it a gently undulating texture. Bulky without being heavy, it creates soft, lightweight fabrics that are comfortable to wear against the skin.
In this project, combining two colours showcases both the colour variations and the distinctive texture of the yarn while keeping the weaving simple and accessible.

Why We Love It
We particularly like this kit for its simplicity and for the way it allows the yarn itself to take centre stage. Caterpillar Cotton already has plenty of character thanks to its texture and colour variations, so there is no need for a complex weave structure to create an interesting fabric.
It is an accessible project that lets you enjoy the weaving process while creating a lightweight, colourful scarf that is easy to wear.
