Adriafil Memphis is the gold standard for high-quality Egyptian cotton. As a 100% mercerized cotton yarn, it offers a sophisticated sheen and a "round" twist that provides incredible stitch definition, making it a favorite for both intricate knit textures and structured crochet projects.
The Luxury of Egyptian Cotton
What sets Memphis apart is the length of its fibers. Long-staple Egyptian cotton is naturally more durable and less prone to "pilling" or fraying than standard cotton. The mercerization process not only adds a beautiful luster but also ensures the yarn holds its shape and stays vibrant wash after wash, avoiding the "sag" often associated with lower-quality cottons.
- Composition 100% Egyptian cotton: hypoallergenic, antibacterial, absorbs moisture and offers excellent breathability.
- Long and resistant fibre: perfect for long-lasting and structured work.
- Machine washable up to 60°, improves with every wash and maintains the bright colors.
- Mercerized yarn: gives the yarn a finish shiny e precious.
