Pearl Cotton has to be one of the most versatile yarns we sell. It can be used for household projects: table cloths, coverlets, dish towels, placemats and napkins, curtains, baby blankets, and scarves - to name just a few! It's also equally at home in knitted garments and woven fabrics for clothing. Buy a lot or buy a little. We offer Pearl Cotton in two put-ups. Halcyon's exclusive mini cones allow you to buy lots of different colors without buying lots of yarn. The large cones allow you to buy greater quantities at greater savings.

Colorfastness: Pearl Cotton is generally quite colorfast; however, if you are using contrasting colors always test a woven or knitted sample using the same washing method you plan to use on the finished piece. If there is excess dye and bleeding is a problem, skein and wash the yarn before weaving or knitting.

Please note that Pearl Cotton and Perle Cotton are the same things: Pearl Cotton is the English spelling and is used interchangeably with "Perle Cotton", or even "Coton Perle", the French spelling.

WEIGHED ITEM: Large Pearl Cotton Cones (approximately 1 pound) are sold by actual weight. Yarn weight per cone will vary between 15 oz and 18 oz, therefore your final invoice may reflect this difference. You'll see that the small grey dot in your shopping cart will read 18 (oz) before checkout - this is the maximum quantity and amount you'll be charged. Your final invoice will reflect this or a lesser quantity if the cone weighs less. Please note that if you request a return online you'll need to enter the quantity you are returning in the same quantity of ounces as were purchased on your final invoice - we cannot accept returns for cones weighing less than what you received. Please let us know if you need assistance or an exact quote prior to shipping.
