For those who are all about the super-colourful yarns, here’s one just for you! The Cotton Quick Print range from German yarn brand Gründl is a 100% cotton yarn that’s packed full of quick colour changes, creating fantastically funky fabrics. This shiny 4ply cotton is both mercerised and gassed (a process where any loose fibres are singed off to create a super-smooth yarn), plus it’s OEKO-TEX* certified as well. There are 16 variegated shades available and a uni-colour range too. Machine wash at 40ºC. www.gruendl.com
