The Best Cotton Yarn We’ve Ever Tried (At a Price You Won't Believe)

Premium Quality That Doesn't Break the Bank

As experienced knitters and crocheters, we get to test a lot of different yarns here at Casa de Lana. To be completely honest with you, it takes a lot to truly impress us these days. But when we got our hands on the cotton from Matti Yarns, we were genuinely blown away by the exceptional quality—especially when we saw the price tag. It is rare to find such premium, European-made materials that are this affordable.

Straight from Porto to Costa Blanca

Summer is definitely here, and we are so excited to introduce this brand new supplier to the Casa de Lana family.

They produce their incredibly high-quality cotton straight from their local factory in Porto, Portugal. We are thrilled to share that Matti Yarns takes sustainability seriously. The yarn is produced in a quality-certified company, and both the raw materials and the dyeing process hold OEKO-TEX certifications. Opt for their organic cotton, and it is fully GOTS-certified. Good for your skin, good for the planet, and good for your wallet!

Matti Yarns actually offers eleven ranges of yarns in total, but we have started by bringing in four fantastic summer variations: Heaven Light, Fantasy Heaven Light, Whisper, and Whisper Superfine.

Colours and Textures

While their full collection is available in up to 75 colours, just look at the gorgeous lineup in the picture above! We are completely in love with this slightly muted summer palette.

We are especially smitten with the Fantasy Heaven Light. Those tiny, playful specks of bright neon spun right into the thread add a fun, subtle texture to any garment.

Take a look at these lovely colour swatches showcasing the incredible variety they offer. We have a carefully curated selection of these shades right now, and will definitely expand our palette as we go along.

If you want to see quality close up, check out this vibrant orange skein of Whisper. It is spun securely from many tiny threads, which means it completely refuses to split while you work with it.

The Perfect Summer Bag

Hanne’s daughter recently picked out some crisp white Whisper to make a new summer bag.

Just look at that gorgeous, airy crochet stitch! The structured twist of the Whisper yarn really makes the pattern pop, creating a sturdy yet lightweight fabric ideal for a market bag or the beach.

She has even been experimenting with different straps and magnetic clasps. Whether she goes for sleek leather straps or bohemian wooden beaded handles, it looks fantastic.

Here is the best part: A single skein of Whisper gives you a massive 200 grams and 340 meters of yarn. The entire crocheted bag you see here takes only one single skein!
