B-TEX CORI CORI DK is made from 100% Argentine combed cotton and comes in 200 g / 7.05 oz cones with approximately 440 m / 481 yd per cone. Its intermediate DK weight combines a soft feel, matte finish and clear stitch definition, making it a versatile cotton yarn for garments, blankets and accessories with moderate body.

Fiber and construction of CORI CORI DK

Combed cotton undergoes a process that removes part of the shorter fibers before spinning. This contributes to a smoother, more even surface and a soft feel, qualities that can be appreciated both while working with the yarn and in the finished fabric.

Its 6-ply construction accompanies an intermediate weight within the CORI CORI family: it has more body than Fingering and less volume than Worsted. Ply describes how the strand itself is built, while DK identifies the yarn-weight category.

How does it feel and behave?

CORI CORI DK works well for visible stitches and textured patterns, balancing stitch definition with moderate body. The recommended needle and hook range allows you to explore anything from a more compact fabric to a more open construction, always using the pattern gauge as your primary reference.

Cotton has less elastic recovery than wool. In larger garments, the weight of the finished fabric can also influence drape and fit. Wash and dry your gauge swatch according to the care instructions on the label before measuring it. This gives you a more realistic reference for choosing gauge and finished dimensions.

What does cotton bring to the finished fabric?

The final result will also depend on stitch pattern, gauge, garment construction and care.

What to make with CORI CORI DK

• Sweaters, vests and cardigans: for designs that call for a medium-weight cotton yarn with moderate body.
• Blankets and accessories: when you want stitches, textured patterns or color combinations to remain clearly visible.
• Crochet and amigurumi: adjusting hook size to achieve the firmness required by each project.

How much yarn do I need?

Each 200 g / 7.05 oz cone contains approximately 440 m / 481 yd. Divide the total length required by your pattern by the length per cone 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. When substituting another yarn, compare the required length and gauge as well as the total weight.

CORI CORI DK or another yarn?

DK sits between CORI CORI Fingering and Worsted. It is a useful option when you want more body than Fingering without moving to the heaviest version of the family. When changing yarn weights, always review gauge, tools and total yardage.
