Frizzy Cotton: The Soft, Airy & Vegan Cotton Yarn You’ll Fall in Love With

Frizzy Cotton is an innovative yarn made of 85% Makò cotton and 15% recycled nylon: as soft and voluminous as wool, yet 100% vegan and perfect for mid-season projects. If you’re searching for a fluffy cotton yarn for sweaters, accessories, or home décor, this might become your new favorite.

What Makes Frizzy Cotton Unique?

Finding a cotton yarn that feels as soft and fluffy as wool isn’t easy. Most cotton yarns have a smoother, denser texture — sometimes even a little stiff. Frizzy Cotton breaks the rules: it’s lightweight and breathable, yet brings a softness and volume we usually only find in wool blends.

Its crimped, cloud-like structure creates a voluminous look that adds texture and personality to even the simplest stitches. Perfect for giving your handmade creations a cozy yet fresh feel.

Is Frizzy Cotton Beginner-Friendly?
