Ella Rae Watercolors Mercerized Cotton – Vibrant Color Meets Everyday Elegance

Ella Rae Watercolors Mercerized Cotton is a dazzling yarn that blends the vibrancy of hand-dyed colorways with the crisp, smooth finish of mercerized cotton. Known for its glossy sheen and saturated hues, this yarn offers a fresh take on warm-weather and everyday projects. Each skein is expertly hand-dyed in rich tonal and variegated colorways that bring your stitches to life—making even the simplest patterns look extraordinary.

Spun from 100% mercerized cotton, this yarn has a sleek, smooth texture that glides through your hands and produces a clean, polished fabric. The mercerization process strengthens the cotton and gives it a luminous finish that resists pilling and holds its shape beautifully over time. Ideal for lightweight garments, accessories, and home décor, Watercolors Mercerized Cotton is as versatile as it is stunning.

Each 100-gram skein delivers approximately 263 yards of DK weight yarn, offering the perfect balance between drape and structure. It’s a go-to choice for spring and summer knitting or crochet projects—especially when you want to keep things breathable and vibrant. With its smooth surface and excellent stitch definition, this yarn is a dream for lace, colorwork, and textured stitch patterns.

Because it’s hand-dyed in small batches, each skein has its own unique character. We recommend alternating skeins when working on larger projects to create a beautifully blended effect. The colorways—ranging from tropical brights to earthy neutrals and watercolor-inspired pastels—allow you to express your creativity in endless ways.

    •    Lightweight tops and tanks
    •    Elegant wraps and summer scarves
    •    Chic market bags and totes
    •    Polished baby garments and accessories
    •    Home accents like pillows and dishcloths
