Our take on the Silk City Fibers 5/2 Perle Mercerized Cotton Weaving Yarn

A 1.10 lb cone of 5/2 mercerized perle cotton from Silk City Fibers, wound at 2,100 yards per pound in a 2-ply fingering-weight strand. The mercerizing gives it a smooth, slightly lustrous finish and good strength for warp and weft work, crochet, and standard-gauge machine knitting. It is sold on a cone, so it suits continuous projects rather than small hand-skein work. At $25.95 at Lion Brand Yarn as of November 4, 2026, it is the lowest of the three stores listing it new.

Questions and answers

Is this yarn good for weaving warp?
Yes. The 2-ply mercerized cotton is strong and smooth, which is why Silk City lists traditional weaving as a typical project. At 5/2 it suits fine cloth and balanced plain weave.
Can I hand knit with a cone this size?
You can, but the fine fingering weight means slow progress on garments. It is better suited to lace, socks, or machine knitting where the cone feeds evenly.
How much yardage is on one cone?
The cone weighs 1.10 lb and is wound at 2,100 yards per pound, so expect roughly 2,300 yards. Check the actual figure on the label before planning a large project.
Does mercerized cotton shrink?
Mercerizing reduces shrinkage and adds strength and sheen, but this yarn is labeled dry clean only. Wash a swatch before committing a finished piece to water.
Is $25.95 a good price for this cone?
It is the lowest of the three stores listing it new as of November 4, 2026, so it is a fair entry point. Compare per-yard cost against other 5/2 cotton cones before buying several.
