The world of Korean yarn. Today I ordered some yarn that had the label blurred out in every photo. Super sketchy. I think I might have stumbled into the seedy underbelly of the yarn market.
But the color names are too irresistible.
Edit: and what is this? Clearly someone photoshopped something on the bottoms of some of the letters on this label. The product description says 100% cotton, but it says "cotton
silk," which is a bit suspicious because I recognize a yarn world example of weasel words. Also "milk cotton" is a synthetic cotton that's not made from cotton. It is made from plant materials, just not cotton, and it's weirdly processed like tencel, and in fact I think that might be the same thing. Now I need to look this up and get more info.
But anyway, yeah, I find this label a bit sus. It looks like they're trying for plausible deniability when it turns out to be a blend of cotton bamboo blend. It's great yarn, but hard to work and not at all the same texture or breathability or low elasticity, which is what I usually want from cotton yarn. It's pretty, though, very shiny and silky, but also splitty usually. Anyhoo, cottoo, which may be a brand name, like Coboo or Truboo.
That's all I can post for now. I have to keep moving. I know too much.
