$ 23.83
The Power of Polished Red In 2026, the “Primary Pop” movement has moved into high-fashion textiles. Chilli Pepper in the mercerised 10/2 weight is the ultimate execution of this look. Because it is mercerised, the yarn reflects light brilliantly, giving the red a “glowing” quality that makes standard matte reds look flat by comparison. It is a sophisticated, confident shade that acts as a focal point, perfect for creating heirloom-quality pieces that demand attention. Fine-Line Precision: The 10/2 Advantage Choosing the 10/2 weight allows for breathtaking detail in your weaving. When combined with the mercerisation process—which rounds the fibers and removes surface fuzz—the result is a thread that produces razor-sharp definition in complex drafts like Point Twill, Rosepath, or fine Damask. The resulting fabric is cool to the touch, lightweight, and possesses a “snap” and drape that rivals high-end Italian silks. Exceptional Strength for High-Tension Weaving While 10/2 yarn is incredibly fine, the mercerisation process significantly increases its strength. This makes Chilli Pepper an exceptionally reliable, low-stretch warp for multi-shaft and floor looms. With a staggering 1,696 metres on a single 200g cone, you have the immense yardage required for ambitious projects—such as a series of fine-gauge napkins or a full-length table runner—without the interruption of knots or joins.
