Maurice Brassard 8/4 Unmercerized Cotton
A classic choice for sturdy, durable handwovens, this 8/4 unmercerized cotton offers the same beautiful quality as 8/2, in a thicker, more substantial weight.
Made by twisting two 8/2 strands together, it provides added strength and body while maintaining a soft, matte finish — ideal for placemats, rugs, table runners, baby blankets, and tea towels.
Suitable for warp or weft on floor looms, rigid heddle, and frame looms. Also excellent for macramé, knitting machines, and other cotton-based fiber crafts.
