B-TEX CORI CORI ATELIER Sport is made from 100% Argentine combed cotton and comes in 100 g / 3.53 oz skeins with approximately 330 m / 361 yd per skein. Its construction is designed for an especially soft hand and fluid drape, making it well suited to garments and accessories where the delicacy of the fabric can be appreciated both visually and against the skin.
What should you know before choosing this yarn?
CORI CORI ATELIER is a Sport / CYC #2 Fine yarn with a matte finish and approximately 330 m / 361 yd per 100 g / 3.53 oz. As a working reference, Budetex recommends 3 mm / US 2.5 knitting needles or a 2.75 mm / US C-2 crochet hook. Choose your color and calculate the number of skeins from your pattern yardage and gauge swatch. Before starting, wind the skein into a ball for easier handling.
Fiber and construction of CORI CORI ATELIER
Combing cotton removes part of the shorter fibers before spinning and contributes to a smoother, more regular strand. In ATELIER, the construction is designed to create a delicate feel and a fabric with movement while preserving the matte finish characteristic of the CORI CORI family.
CORI CORI ATELIER has a 6-ply construction, while its yarn-weight category is Sport. Ply describes how the strand itself is built: two 6-ply yarns can have different yarn weights depending on the fineness of the individual strands used in their construction.

How does it feel and behave?
Its smooth, even surface allows stitch patterns to remain clearly visible. The Sport weight works well for delicate garments, lace stitches and smaller textures, while ATELIER's construction encourages a fabric with fluid movement.
Cotton has less elastic recovery than wool, so gauge, stitch pattern and the weight of the finished garment can all influence fit and drape. Make a gauge swatch, wash it according to the care instructions on the label and measure it once dry. In addition to counting stitches, evaluate how the fabric hangs and feels.
What does cotton bring to the finished fabric?
Softness against the skin
Combed cotton and ATELIER's construction create a delicate feel for garments designed to be worn close to the skin.
Moisture absorption
Cotton absorbs moisture, a property that can contribute to comfort during wear. Drying time depends on fabric thickness and environmental conditions.
Comfort in mild weather
Combined with an open stitch pattern, cotton can create garments that allow air circulation and work well as lightweight layers.
Drape and movement
ATELIER's construction makes it possible to explore fluid fabrics in shawls, tops and garments with softer lines.
The final result will also depend on stitch pattern, gauge, garment construction and care.
What to make with CORI CORI ATELIER
- Tops, T-shirts and lightweight sweaters: for designs that emphasize softness, a matte surface and delicate drape.
- Shawls and accessories: when movement and openwork stitches are an important part of the design.
- Sport-weight crochet and knitting projects: for working small details and textures with a combed cotton yarn.
BUDETEX RECOMMENDS
Choose CORI CORI ATELIER when softness and drape are central to your project. Make a generous gauge swatch in the stitch pattern you plan to use and evaluate its movement after washing. For lace or openwork garments, also check the level of transparency you want in the finished fabric.

How much yarn do I need?
Each 100 g / 3.53 oz skein contains approximately 330 m / 361 yd. Divide the total length required by your pattern by the length per skein and round up. If you are working with several colors, calculate each color separately.
Actual yarn requirements vary with size, gauge, stitch pattern and any modifications to the design. Your pattern yardage and gauge swatch should always take priority over a general estimate.

CORI CORI ATELIER or another yarn?
ATELIER has a differentiated construction within the CORI CORI family, with a particular focus on softness and drape. Its Sport weight sits between Fingering and DK. When substituting the yarn specified by a pattern, compare fiber content, yardage and gauge: yarn weight alone does not determine the finished result.
ANOTHER OPTION TO COMPARE
CORI CORI DK is also made from Argentine combed cotton but creates a fabric with more body, providing approximately 220 m / 241 yd per 100 g / 3.53 oz. Compare it when your project needs more structure, keeping in mind that yarn weight, gauge and yarn requirements will all change.
