If you love Blue Sky Organic Cotton, Blue Sky Cotton Sport is the lighter-weight sibling. Made of the same organic cotton, this soft and versatile yarn is environmentally friendly, with a soft drape and stitch definition for warm-weather garments

For needles and hooks in the 3.5mm to 4mm range, this yarn is easily adapted to other gauges to play with texture and fabrics. We have 21 beautiful colors and four brand new designs for cotton sport.
