Queensland Collection Cairns in color Canberra 61
Queensland Collection's Cairns yarn is a distinctive blend of 60% cotton and 40% acrylic, offering both softness and durability. This worsted-weight yarn features a unique tape and chainette construction, providing excellent drape and a textured appearance.
Bold "birthday party" colors of teal, gold, green and pinks. These energetic shades are perfect for creating a vivid beach tote or a durable grocery tote. The yarn’s colors bring to mind the intense colors of late summer. Its lightweight yet sturdy cotton-acrylic blend ensures your projects are both fashionable and functional. Whether you're knitting or crocheting, this yarn offers the ideal balance of color, texture, and practicality—just what you need to carry everything from your beach towel to your groceries with ease and style.
Cairns is extremely popular in Sharyn Anhalt's Market Square. Her bag is knitted in 2 different and very contrasting colors. You can see the Market Square pattern on Ravelry. This is a great gift. It is an enjoyable project to work on and the pattern repeat is only 4 rows.
