Drops Safran yarn is a fine cotton yarn made from 100% Egyptian combed cotton. It is an 8/4 weight and is therefore a good choice for projects where you want a lighter and finer cotton look than that offered by the heavier 8/8 cotton.
The yarn has a smooth and pleasant texture, which creates a neat stitch pattern in both knitting and crochet. Drops Safran is particularly well suited to baby and children’s clothes, summer tops, light blouses, cardigans, washcloths, crocheted figures, decorations and small accessories. It’s a great choice when you’re looking for a wool-free yarn that feels comfortable against the skin and can be used for both practical everyday projects and delicate details.

Here are some guidelines for washing cotton clothes. Cotton can have a tendency to shrink in the wash, so make sure you measure the garment before washing so you can mould it to the right dimensions after washing:
Please note: If you want to wash a project that is a combination of this and another yarn, follow the washing instructions for the yarn with the finest/most delicate fibres.
Drops Safran is made from 100% cotton. It is made from Egyptian combed cotton and has a smooth, soft and comfortable texture.
Drops Safran is a fine cotton yarn in an 8/4 weight. It has a length of approximately 160 metres per 50 grams and is therefore well suited to many projects where you would normally choose 8/4 cotton.
8/4 cotton is a finer cotton yarn than, for example, 8/8 cotton. Whilst 8/8 is thicker and fuller, 8/4 produces a finer and lighter result. This makes 8/4 cotton ideal for baby knits, summer clothes, washcloths, crocheted figures, decorations and small details.
The first ‘8’ refers to the thickness of the threads from which the yarn is twisted.
The second figure is the number of strands from which the yarn is twisted.
If you’re looking for yarn in an 8/8 weight, we have, for example,. Drops Paris
I have tried to illustrate the difference between 8/4 and 8/8 in a small diagram, which you can see here:
Drops Safran belongs to yarn group A and corresponds to 5-ply / sport. It is a fine yarn, suitable for patterns with a gauge of around 23–26 stitches per 10 cm.
The recommended needle size is 3 mm. The stated gauge is 24 stitches x 32 rows, which will give you a 10 x 10 cm swatch. Always make a gauge swatch (even if you can’t be bothered ;) …) – especially when making garments where the size is important. Also test how the gauge swatch washes.
