Description

DROPS Safran – Egyptian Combed Cotton in Every Colour

DROPS Safran is a fine, sport-weight cotton spun from long-staple Egyptian cotton fibres, twisted in pairs and re-twisted for a smooth, refined finish. It's the yarn to reach for when a project calls for crisp stitch definition and a lightweight drape: summer tops, baby garments, amigurumi and fine lace work.

Why choose DROPS Safran?

  • Crisp Stitch Definition: Tightly twisted cotton fibres show off cables, lace and colourwork with real clarity.
  • Baby-Safe & Easy Care: Certified Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 Class I (suitable for babies 0–3) and machine washable at 40°C.
  • Wide Colour Range: A broad palette spanning neutrals to saturated brights, ideal for colourwork and amigurumi.

DROPS Safran is certified by OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, Class I — tested free from harmful substances and safe even for baby items (ages 0–3).

TIPS & TRICKS

Pro Tip: For amigurumi, go down to a 2.5 mm hook rather than the 3 mm needle size on the label. Tighter single crochet closes the gaps so stuffing doesn't show through, and the firm cotton keeps features crisp. Fix safety eyes in place before you close the head.

FAQ

About Product

How many balls of DROPS Safran for a baby cardigan?

Usually 2–3 balls for a newborn to 6-month cardigan. Sport-weight baby cardigans typically use 250–450 m depending on size, and each 50 g ball holds 160 m, so 250–450 m ÷ 160 m gives 2–3 balls. Add a ball for long sleeves or a matching sun hat.

What size safety eyes for amigurumi in DROPS Safran?

Palm-sized toys in DROPS Safran usually suit 6–8 mm safety eyes; keychain figures look better with 5 mm, and larger heads with 9–10 mm. The Black Safety Eyes Mix Pack (25 Pairs) covers 5–8 mm. For toys meant for children under 3, secure the washers firmly or embroider the eyes.

DROPS Safran vs YarnArt Jeans for amigurumi: which is better?

Both are sport weight with 160 m per 50 g, so patterns swap easily. Safran is 100% cotton, crisper and cooler in the hand, with very clear stitches. YarnArt Jeans has 45% acrylic, which makes it a little softer with more give. Choose Safran for crisp details and Jeans for a softer, squishier toy.

Can DROPS Safran be held double?

Yes, two strands of Safran together knit to roughly an aran-weight gauge on about 5 mm needles. That is handy for sturdier bags, baskets and potholders, or for blending two shades into a marled fabric. Swatch first, as two strands of cotton can vary in gauge from knitter to knitter.
