If you require a yarn specifically for plush toys or items needing extreme elasticity, other yarn types may be a better fit. ## How to use 1. Choose a crochet pattern that specifies Size 10 thread, such as lace doilies, intricate edgings, fine garments, or decorative home items. Ensure the pattern recommends a hook size around 1.5mm (US 7). — Select Your Pattern 2. Set up a comfortable crafting area with good lighting. Have your Aunt Lydia's Crochet Cotton thread, the recommended crochet hook, and your pattern readily accessible. Ensure the thread is wound neatly to prevent tangles. — Prepare Your Workspace 3. Follow your pattern's instructions carefully, maintaining consistent tension for even stitches. The high-luster mercerized cotton will glide smoothly, allowing for precise detail work and a beautiful finished fabric. — Begin Crocheting 4. Once your project is complete, block it gently to shape if necessary. Follow the care instructions: machine wash warm, dry flat, and iron if needed. This maintains the thread's luster and integrity. — Finishing and Care ## Product details | Field | Value | |---|---| | Fiber Content | 100% Mercerized Cotton | | Plies | 3-ply | | Recommended Crochet Hook Size | US 7 (1.5mm) | | Recommended Knitting Needle Size | US 7 (1.5mm) | | Yarn Weight | Size 10 Bedspread Weight | | Yardage | 350 yd (320m) for Solids | | Care Instructions | Machine wash (104°F/40°C), dry flat, do not bleach, do not dry clean, OK to iron. | | Cost per use | 350 yd spool at ~1g/yd = 350g total: ₹4.06 per gram (approx. ₹4.06 per gram per 100g) | | Shelf life after opening | Indefinite when stored properly | | Contraindications | Not recommended for beginners seeking very soft, plush textures or for projects requiring extreme elasticity. | | Allergens / common irritants | 100% Cotton (natural fiber, generally hypoallergenic) | | Brand | Aunt Lydia's | | Manufacturer | Coats & Clark | | Model Name | Classic Crochet | | Part Number | 154.0131 | | Color | Fudge Brown | | Material | 100% Cotton | | Material Composition | 100% Cotton | | Style | Classic | | Size | 1 Pack | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Item Weight | 0.13 pounds (59 g) | | Item Display Weight | 9.3 ounces (264 g) | | Item Package Weight | 0.082 kilograms (82 g) | | Item Dimensions | 4 x 4.5 x 4 inches (10.2 x 11.4 x 10.2 cm) | | Item Display Dimensions | 3.9 x 4.2 x 3.9 inches (9.9 x 10.7 x 9.9 cm) | | Country of Origin | Imported | ## Frequently asked questions ### How to choose the best crochet thread for Indian projects?
