In this video I’m sharing a brand new yarn release that has me absolutely giddy: Lion Brand’s Cottino from the Two of Wands collection. I walk you through what it is, why it feels so “modern luxury but make it practical,” and what kinds of projects I immediately picture it in. If you love a yarn that looks elevated without being fussy, this one is going to be hard to ignore. Cottino is a DK weight blend (55% cotton, 45% superwash merino), so you get that breathable cotton comfort with a little gentle warmth and bounce from the merino—plus it’s machine washable, which I’m always going to celebrate for real-life knitting and crochet. I talk about the subtle marled look, the drape, and the curated shade range (24 colors!) and why that matters when you’re planning sweaters, baby makes, and even cozy home pieces. Bottom line: it’s gorgeous, it’s wearable, and it’s designed for makers who want style and ease without compromise.
