Lion Brand Cotton Yarn Comparison

Just a quick comparison of yarns from Lion Brand

I used Lion Brand 24/7 100% Mercerized Cotton yarn in Aqua and Lion Brand 100% Pure Cotton yarn on this project.

Both are the same pattern
Both are cotton yarns
Both yarns are rated as #4 weight

But, there is a difference.  The 24/7 yarn is much lighter and feels so soft.  The 100% Pure Cotton is MUCH heavier and doesn't drape as nice as the 24/7, but the look of the stitches appeals to me more.





Easy Beach Coverup Pattern includes Small to 6X sizing





My results with measuring the Wraps per Inch

Lion Brand 24/7 I got 16 WPI
Lion Brand Cotton I got 12 WPI

I love BOTH yarns and will miss their old cotton.  I have used it for many things and for many years.

BUT, I am Very Pleased with the new 24/7 yarns and the colors that are available.  This yarn gave the garment lots of luster and the drape is fantastic.



Here's the information from Lion Brands Site http://www.lionbrand.com/cgi-bin/yarnInfo.cgi?yarnPageIndex=1
