Rated 4.9 out of 5 — 20 verified reviews
Yoga yarn is 35% lighter in weight than the 100% cotton in an equivalent weight. So, knit and weave your fabrics, jackets, pull-overs, scarves, shawls and homewares which will have the bulk and density you want but at the same time staying light! Ashford's Yoga yarn has a nylon filament core completely covered by a cotton outer wrap! Get the best of both worlds: the strength and elasticity of nylon and the natural comfort and beauty of cotton!
It is a 2 ply (two threads plied together) yarn - each ply is cotton spun over the nylon filament - the nylon filament is not visible and it will dye like 100% cotton.
It is such a pleasure to weave with this yarn. Due to the slight elasticity of the yarn there will be no more “saggy shed” when weaving on a rigid heddle loom!
This is 8/2 yarn, but looks and weaves like 5/2. You can use for your warp or weft or in any combination with other yarns. A great choice for rigid heddle weaving.

This is not the first
"This is not the first time I've used Ashford Yoga Yarn. It warps beautifully and is very strong. It comes in a variety of colors so I was able to mix and match the yarn colors until I was happy with the colors. And I was surprised at how quickly it arrived. I was sure it would take weeks and yet it was here before I new it."

Will buy again!
"Based on someones suggestion I bought this to try instead of regular 8/2 cotton which was hard to handle for me. This wasn't perfect (mostly me) but I was able to successfully wind a warp and get it on the loom without too much waste and tangles."
Great for Summer and Winter or Overshot Towels
"I was pleased with the Summer and Winter and Overshot samples I tried with this yarn. It behaves like a 5/2 but is lighter. I paired it with a 10/2 warp and tabby yarn and the sample didn’t seem as heavy as with a normal 5/2. The color is nice and bright."
I am so pleased.
