8/4 Maurice Brassard Cotton

8/4 Cotton (also known as 4/8) is a weaving staple for many weavers. It is perfect for weaving towels, clothing, baby goods, and table linens and whatever your weaving heart desires.  

Cotton is absorbent making it excellent for towels. It is strong enough for warp, washes well and stands up to wear and tear. And Maurice Brassard has an extensive color selection. 

Please note: Colors may look different on screen, and dye lots vary, especially the reds. Buying for a specific project? Email us to request color-matched cones.
