B-TEX CORI CORI Worsted is made from 100% Argentine combed cotton and comes in 100 g / 3.53 oz balls with approximately 170 m / 186 yd per ball. It is the fullest-bodied version among CORI CORI Fingering, DK and Worsted: a soft, matte yarn designed for fabrics where volume, texture and stitch definition are an important part of the finished piece.

Fiber and construction of CORI CORI Worsted

Combed cotton undergoes a process that removes part of the shorter fibers before spinning. This contributes to a smoother, more even surface that makes stitches and textured patterns clearly visible.

Its 8-ply construction creates a substantial strand suitable for exploring texture in both crochet and knitting. Ply describes how the strand itself is built, while Worsted identifies its yarn-weight category.

How does it feel and behave?

Its Worsted weight allows you to work larger-scale stitches and emphasize cables, textured patterns and crochet motifs. A tighter gauge creates a firmer fabric, while a more open gauge allows you to explore the natural drape of cotton.

Cotton has less elastic recovery than wool and, at this weight, the final weight of larger garments is especially important. Make a gauge swatch, wash it according to the care instructions on the label and evaluate its measurements once dry before choosing your final needle or hook size and garment size.

CORI CORI Worsted has an 8-ply construction. Ply describes the structure of the strand and should not be confused with its Worsted yarn-weight category.

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 Worsted

How much yarn do I need?

Each 100 g / 3.53 oz ball contains approximately 170 m / 186 yd. Divide the total length required by your pattern by the length per ball and round up. If you are working with several colors, calculate each color separately.

Textured stitches and dense fabrics can change yarn requirements. Use your pattern yardage together with your gauge swatch and account for any changes in length, width or finishing details.

CORI CORI Worsted or another yarn?

Worsted is the fullest-bodied of the three main CORI CORI weights. If your pattern calls for a finer fabric, compare it with DK. Changing yarn weight requires a new gauge swatch and can affect the final dimensions and yarn requirements.
