Description
Cotton Scintilla Sport weight is a beautiful yarn that is mill spun from the finest quality, natural and locally grown 100% pure cotton and a slither of viscose, in order to give it a scintilla of shine.
We use an earth friendly process and dyes that are OEKO-TEX and Bluesign certified to hand dye our huge range of colours. Special dye methods ensure that each strand will have its own unique characteristics.
Our mill spins our cotton yarn for softness and then specially plies it to prevent splitting, which makes it equally good for crochet, knitting and weaving. It’s a natural cotton, which means it’s biodegradable and hypoallergenic, so, it’s good for you and the environment too!
Available as:
- Cakes – approx. 50g/175oz – 130m/142yds Sport weight and composed of 80% cotton and 20% viscose

Just wanted to let you know how happy I am with the cotton scintilla cakes which arrived just now. I’ve ordered from pretty much every online yarn site in SA over the years. Yours comes in tops for accuracy of colour in picture matching colour in real life. And are they ever gorgeous colours!
Thank you again to you and your team.
Warm regards
