Queensland Collection Cairns in color Goldcoast 57
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.
This stunning yarn color glows with sun-drenched hues of golden yellow, earthy rust, and mellow olive green. The rich, tonal blend evokes autumn leaves, desert landscapes, and cozy harvest evenings. With every stitch, it brings warmth, depth, and a touch of rustic elegance to your knitting or crochet. Whether you're crafting a lightweight shawl or a textured pullover, this yarn turns simple patterns into radiant works of art.
Cairns is a cotton acrylic yarn blend with many colors, designed to stripe. Cairns is great for summer garments such as short sleeve tops, vests over tanks or shells or a simple shoulder wrap should the occasion need one. Since it is a worsted weight, it knits and crochets up quickly and the color just pops.
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.
