The pearl cottons 3/2 and 5/2 are the big brothers of the pearl cotton 10/2. The yarn is spun and produced the same way, only in different sizes. The 3/2 pearl cotton is the thickest and the 5/2 pearl cotton is a little bit finer. The 3/2 pearl cotton is about equivalent to a 4ply Australian standard size yarn. The 5/2 pearl cotton is something in between the 3/2 and 10/2.
Like the pearl cotton 10/2, these yarns can be used in many different ways, either for a specific pattern, mixed with other fibers (warp/weft) or as a beautiful end product in mind. All pearl cottons are made out of 100% cotton and mercerised. The soft ply gives it a distinctive feel = the pearl twist. The pearl cotton 3/2 and 5/2 are only available in white. All yarns take the dye very well and being a cellulose fiber are very simple to handle.
These cotton yarns give you the option of creating any sort of article. The pearl cotton is especially good for kitchenware products like t-towels, placemats, but can also be used for anything else, like curtains or even fabric to wear. These yarns are so versatile that they are qualified as the standard yarn for a good product. It is also easy to handle for beginners.
Different dye lots may vary lightly.
