Product Information

The cotton tube yarn is created from a woven cotton fabric outside part. The outside part of the yarn is completely weaved all around the thread, which means that there are no seams along the thread. This provides a smooth and neat look for the thread in all its length. Inside of the thread is filled with special long polyester fibers. The long polyester fibers ensure that the thread is even and doesn't have any clumps along the thread. It's very easy to take care of the cotton tube yarn products. They are machine washable. So it means, whenever, you need to clean your product - just put it in the washing machine on a medium care program. Fill: As a practical matter, you'll want fill that's already basically in "rope" form since it would be time consuming to form it into a rope as you go, and difficult to make it a uniform density if you're forming it from a big wad. You might be able to buy fiberfill "rope" on a big reel. If not, you could use something else for fill. Examples: Make sure to watch the video in this post to watch the weaving steps as that part is the hardest to comprehend at first. Watching it visually is the best way to learn.

Secure the free end of the string so you can pull against it. So you should have a length of string secured at one end, then running through a tube of fabric and attached to the far end of the fabric tube. Now you're ready to start making the tube yarn. The cotton tube yarn is durable. The thread is strong, so the products are great for pets, kids, and for more heavy daily use. The polyester filling keeps its shape, and will not get flat or uneven. It'll look the same for a long, long time. Our Big Cotton tube yarn is both beautiful and durable! We know frustrating it can be to buy something nice and then have it fall apart after normal wear and tear. We also know what it's like to have kids and pets and feel the tug of war between have something pretty or something practical. With our Big Cotton tube yarn, you can have both! As mentioned before, there's finally a high-quality chunky yarn option for vegans. Before the cotton tube yarn was introduced, there were very few options, like acrylic fibers or polyester fibers, however, the composition of 100% synthetic fibers, didn't provide strength and structure for the thread.

Our Big Cotton tube yarn is perfect for a variety of projects, including but not limited to: blankets, pillows, baby boats, pet beds, wreaths, baskets. Plastic grocery store bags. Even the flimsy produce bags will have some bulk once they're opened, crumpled, and straightened out again. Bundling a bunch of those bags works great as fill. Join them end to end, and stagger the joints.

The thread itself, and so the products created from the cotton tube yarn, look very neat and high-end. Cotton is a natural material, and natural materials are highly-valued. They always look more beautiful than synthetics.

What can you make with your yarn snake? 

In the past few years, I’ve made a number of finger knit blankets using loop yarn, and I love them! But I wanted to make a really chunky blanket this time, using a super fat yarn. I’d heard of arm knitting, but it just seemed confusing to me, and I know you can use super fat needles, but since I’ve never knit with needles before that seemed confusing too. So instead I decided to try hand-knitting, and it turns out that it’s a super simple and totally doable craft, even for a complete beginner with no knitting experience. I was able to hand knit this cool DIY chunky blanket in a couple of hours:

Now you’ll start creating knit stitches, which is the simple stitch you’ll repeat to hand knit the whole blanket. You are ready to start your first row, working toward the left. Each time you start a new row, you will skip the first loop, which is the last one you just made. This gives you a more finished edge on each side of the blanket. Below is an estimate for how many skeins are typically needed for some popular projects. These are just estimates and actual amounts will depend on the yarn, the project, and the creator. The bigger the project, the bigger the variation possible. If in doubt, we recommend purchasing an extra skein (or 2)!

You seam the first section of tube with no fill; that gets added in the next step. The tube gets seamed inside out. For the first section, use a piece of fabric ribbon that is not the shortest piece. Fold the fabric ribbon in half the long way with the good face on the inside (you stitch a flattened, inside-out tube). Then skip the loop you just made, and continue knit stitching toward the left. Everytime you get to the end of a row you’ll stitch through the skipped loop from the row before. Everytime you start a going in a new direction, you’ll skip the very last loop you just made. This gives the sides of your blanket a braided finish. Joining New Yarn Many strands of soft yard. Since it will be hidden inside, you might be able to cheaply buy some yarn that a knitting supply store can't sell; it doesn't matter what it looks like.

Enclose the string on the inside. So that it doesn't get lost, attach one end of the string to one end of the fabric ribbon in the middle of the width of the ribbon (where the ribbon is folded in half). Use a few strong stitches to secure the string. Stretch out the fabric ribbon and string to ensure that the string is longer than the fabric when the fabric is flat. String: You need one piece of string or twine that is longer than the first section of tube. This should be smooth and "slippery" rather than rough twine like sissal. Fabric ribbon: The circumference of the tube will be 22/7 times the diameter. Add about 3/4" to 1" to that for seaming, and that will be the width of the ribbon needed to make the tube. The longer the ribbon, the fewer joints you'll need along the length. Where the fill is hanging out, you will have the ends of the old and new sections, with the new section as a layer on top. Hand-stitch the two layers together near the edge to join the sections. The excess fabric will become hidden on the inside. For the chenille blanket you can see above, I used 6 balls of yarn that were 28 yards each for a total of 168 yards. That blanket is approximately 48×52 inches, which is a little smaller than a standard throw size blanket. It’s a good size for using over your lap on a couch or throwing over the side of a couch. I also used a slightly looser stitch on this blanket, about 2.5 to 2.75 inches.It can be hard to figure out how much yarn you’ll need, because it will vary depending on how big of a blanket you’d like to make and how loose or tight you make your stitches. But I’ll share what I used for both my own blankets so you have an idea:
