200gm Cotton Cone | Ashford Black Weaving Yarn | Pure Black Matte Cotton Thread
95.26 د.إ
Command attention with the absolute depth of Ashford Unmercerised Cotton 5/2 in Jet Set Black. This 100% natural cotton yarn is prized for its saturated colour and soft, matte hand-feel, making it the perfect choice for bold table linens, contemporary scarves, and graphic upholstery projects. Supplied on a 200g cone, this true black provides a sophisticated, professional finish that ‘blooms’ and softens beautifully after its first wash, ensuring your dark tones remain rich and opaque.
The Power of the Matte Anchor
In 2026, the trend of “Dopamine Minimalism”—using stark blacks to make bright colours sing—is at the forefront of textile art. Jet Set Black is the ultimate tool for this aesthetic. Because it is unmercerised, it lacks the shiny, synthetic look of treated cottons, offering instead a “velvety” depth that adds a sense of luxury and weight to your fabric without the actual heaviness.
Functional Performance: The “Thirsty” Black
While many dark yarns lose their aesthetic appeal, Ashford’s Unmercerised Cotton prioritises performance. The open, porous nature of the 5/2 fibre makes it exceptionally absorbent. This makes it a surprising but excellent choice for high-end kitchen textiles or artisanal hand towels where you want a “hotel-luxury” feel combined with maximum moisture-wicking capabilities.
Studio Precision for Complex Drafts
The 5/2 weight is the versatile workhorse for multi-shaft and rigid heddle weavers alike. It is strong enough to withstand the high tension required for a clean shed, yet supple enough to create a fabric with fluid drape. With approximately 848 metres on each cone, you can warp an entire run of “Log Cabin” placemats or a long, dramatic table runner with the confidence that your colour will remain consistent from the first inch to the last.
