We really just cannot get enough of our fantastic Friends Cotton 8/6.
Cotton is a great, strong, durable, breathable, absorbent, and lightweight natural fiber. Friends Cotton 8/6 has no less than all these characteristics and it is made out of 6 threads spun together.
All the shades have been thoughtfully selected to create a complete range that spans from bright to pastel and darker colors.
The whole range comes with our “easy start” pull-out tab, making it much handier to find the beginning of your skein.
This fiber is also easy to take care of, making Friends Cotton 8/6 so versatile that you can craft anything with it. Need some inspiration? We recommend dishcloths, pot holders, totes, and rugs for your house. It will be suitable for any kind of garment for both babies, children, and adults. And let’s not forget stuffed toys, amigurumi, and cute animals. Cotton has a great stitch definition and will work amazingly well with textured stitches.
If that all was not enough already, another great thing about our Friends cotton yarns is that they are vegan-dyed.
Aren’t you already in love with Friends Cotton 8/6?
The yarn is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified (no. 2276-367). Find more information about the certification at: https://www.oeko-tex.com/en/
About the Friends family
The colors of the yarns included in the Friends family are literally friends!
This means the color numbers correspond to the same color across the different Friends yarns. If you order the same color number from two different Friends yarns, they will match. Please note that there can be slight differences in the shades from fiber to fiber.
Have fun combining and matching them in all your projects.

It is a very nice cotton yarn, I have bought a few colours as a first purchase for amigurumi. Now I know that 8/6 is a tad thick for the figures I want to make, but still used them up and it was easy to work with these yarns. Once I have run out of my colours, will go for the 8/4 size.

Lovely soft yarn Ideal for crochet. I originally ordered about 20 balls in black and I've ordered more today in more colours. It was hard to choose which ones as there are so many. It doesn't split easily. Highly recommended, such good value.

I am obsessed. I wanted a selection of shades of yellow brown green and orange, wow I was not disappointed. Yarn is so beautiful and soft. This is wonderful for my bouquet projects. I most certainly be back ordering so more.

Beautiful quality beige colour cotton yarn. Perfect for my bag. The yarn is stiffer than acrylic but still soft enough to handle easily. So much easier to see your stitches in comparison to fuzzy acrylic
Anastasia
Really lovely yarn to work with. I made a baby blanket that was about 90 cm x 80 cm. It was a chevron pattern and used about 10 balls.
It's a really nice texture and strong fiber to work with.
