Fingering Weight Cotton Air is a 2-ply, lightly twisted, fine cotton yarn with a crisp feel and good stitch definition. The crispness keeps the stitches round and open, resulting in a garment that is airy and perfect for summer wear. This yarn is intended to be used doubled, enabling knitters to create a wide range of color effects by pairing colors of their choosing. 100% Cotton 465 yards/50 g 27 sts per 4" on US 3 (3.25mm) For blocking we recommend filling a bowl/bucket with water, submerging your swatch or garment and lightly squeezing it until there are no bubbles.
