While we are working hard at getting our Fall line-up of yarns all ready to show all of the yarn shops across the country, we know that all of you knitters are all likely just beginning to think about Spring/ Summer knitting. And we can’t say that we blame you! In his part of the country, we finally had our first beautiful weekend of weather, so knitting with warmer weather- fibres is finally on our radar! We thought that today might be a good day to shine a spotlight on one of our favorite new cottons- Rico’s Essentials Cotton DK. 
The colour range is vast, the cotton is crisp, the patterns are trendy, and the price is decent. What more could you ask for in a yarn?
This beautiful, mercerized cotton makes fabulous baby garments, summer shawls/ wraps, cardigans, crochet projects- even home decor! And being that this yarn knits at a DK weight, the pattern support available at your local yarn shop, as well as on Ravelry is endless. Double knit yarn is just SUCH a great gauge! It is not too thick that it can feel cumbersome on the needles and body, but not so thin that you feel like you are knitting a never-ending project! Not sure what we mean by double knitting?
