    5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, silky yarn
    Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2024
    I ordered this to complete a baby blanket, which I had previously started a year ago. I was worried that due to different dye lots, the colors would not match. I was so relieved to see that it was a perfect match! The yarn is so strong and silky (ideal for a baby blanket) and I'm so excited to be able to finish it the way I was hoping! For how light the yarn is, it is going to be the perfect level of warmth while still staying a little cool. It is probably a weight 4 yarn, but feels more like a 3-4 weight. With how silky it is, it is incredible easy to use and doesn't get hung up on the hook at all. I believe this will be the only cotton brand I buy from here on out!

    This was my first time buying 2 fine weight yarn so I didn’t expect the skein to be so small. It makes sense though with how fine the yarn is and I am happy with the quality! Allows for very defined stitches and a clean sharp look unlike acrylic which can look fuzzy.

    It’s not possible to heap enough praise on the mercerized cotton yarn for washcloths and other items. There’s little to no shrinkage and what you start with is how you finally end. Unfortunately, I didn’t buy enough of this color in this dye lot, but that’s my bad. I can adapt because this is a good yarn with consistent colors and dye lots.

    I made a shawl with this ystn. It came out beautiful and very soft against skin which is surprising for cotton.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty color, wish it had a tighter twist
    Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2024
    Really pretty color. I struggle with the yarn splitting while I crochet. My needles don't have a sharp point at the top, so maybe that contributes to the issue. With a fine weight yarn and small gauge needles, it is difficult enough to control the tension and gauge. It would help if you didn't have to also work so hard to keep the strains together too

    5.0 out of 5 stars Can't recommend enough!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2024
    I don't understand why Amazon lists this yarn as a frequently returned item. I love it! I used it to make a few dish towels for Christmas presents, and they turned out beautiful (and they hold up perfect in the wash). I've seen other reviewers mention that there's less than expected in each skein, and this makes them overpriced, but I completely disagree. Yes, there isn't a crazy amount in each skein (it took me 2 whole skeins to make a very small gauge 17"x8" dish towel, reasonably sized), but keep in mind that 1) it is 100% cotton & well made and 2) you get two skeins for ~$9, which is comparable if not slightly more than one skein that is equal in weight/length to these two skeins added together. It all kind of evens out.

    I also want to add that it was almost impossible to find a 2 (Fine) yarn weight in 100% cotton that wasn't actually overpriced (the website I got my pattern from sold their 100g skeins for ~$20), so finding this yarn was a godsend lol. I highly recommend it, just keep in mind how much you'll need. For small projects, 2 skeins will likely be enough.

    Very disappointed that the color faded and ran onto the white I crocheted with it. Other colors were fine.
