100% cotton mercerized yarn is a type of yarn that undergoes a treatment called mercerization, which strengthens and improves its appearance. Mercerization involves treating the cotton fibers with a caustic soda solution under tension, resulting in increased luster, smoothness, and dye uptake. This process also enhances the yarn's strength, making it more durable and less prone to shrinkage. Mercerized cotton yarn is popular for its sheen, vibrant colors, and suitability for projects like garments, home textiles, and accessories. It's known for its luxurious feel and ability to showcase intricate stitch patterns.
