Bernat Handicrafter Cotton Ombres yarn was primarily a Canadian brand until the internet and international shipping became a thing. Locally, I can find plenty of stock at my local Walmart Canada. You may find this in select locations throughout the United States now.
This yarn is available in different formats and what you see below is a 340 gram / 12 oz big yarn ball. Cotton is highly popular and a great way to start your crochet and knit experiences with smaller projects to complete.
This is 100% cotton and is primarily used for home use such as dishcloths, hot pads, table settings and much more. The cotton is grown and spun in the United States, send to Canada for final processing which includes dying. You can see how it's done below.
The ombre colours do a great job of hiding dirt and more that can happen with cleaning. It's a great choice.
