Rico Essentials Cotton DK 73 Alga

Rico Essentials Cotton DK 73 Alga is a delightful yarn, perfect for all your double knit projects. We absolutely adore the gorgeous shade "Alga", a beautiful green reminiscent of seaweed swaying gently beneath the waves. It's a versatile colour that lends itself well to a variety of garments and accessories.

Made from 100% cotton, this DK yarn is incredibly soft and gentle on the skin, making it an excellent choice for baby clothes, blankets, and anything you want to feel extra cosy against your skin. The natural fibres make it breathable and comfortable to wear all year round. We think it would make a stunning summer top.

We find this yarn a dream to work with; it glides smoothly off the needles, creating a lovely even stitch definition. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out on your crafting journey, you'll appreciate the quality and ease of use this yarn offers.
