One of our favorite warm-weather yarns is Catania. It's a sport-weight, mercerized cotton that comes in beautiful colors. We've gotten a new one - Catania Color Fashion, which is self-patterning. Catania Color is variegated, and then we have lovely solid colors.
We have a new book for Catania, which is mostly crochet patterns, and they are wonderful!
-----------------
A new yarn this season is Cotton Bamboo Batik. It's a DK, cotton/bamboo blend. It's self-striping, and we have a couple of fantastic books, too: one for kids, one knitting, and one crochet, that use this yarn.
------------------
We have restocked our Cascade Ultra Pima, which is our most popular cotton yarn. It's DK, mercerized cotton, and very shiny and soft.
-------------------
Luna is a worsted-weight cotton, in a bumpy texture and variegated colors, that is soft and light. We're making a Baby Surprise Jacket, as well as washcloths, out of this yarn, with great results.
-------------------------
Butterfly 10 is a lovely cotton from Greece. DK weight, and 249 yards in each hank. It's a joy to work with! I have crocheted a hat out of it, and love it.
-----------------------
Bravo Rainbow Color comes in a HUGE 500-yard ball. One skein makes a cowl, the pattern for which is on the label. Or you could make a one-skein scarf. It stripes gradually, with great colors.
