I'm surprising my husbands cousin with cute house warming gifts. Hand towels, coasters, dishcloths.
What I like about this brand is it's versatility.
▫️I can make a multi-piece product and not worry about it being "off in color". With that being said, I purchase yarn in the amount I need for a product/project to avoid issues of that nature.
▫️Being 100% cotton it's Texture is of good quality. It's soft but strong and I can tell it will be perfect for dish cloths.
▫️It is machine washable per the label but I'll probably look up more indepth instructions for care.
▫️I've already started to work it up and it does get softer, it's performance is great as I haven't noticed any knotting so far. Also I usually use 1 or a 1/2 size smaller hook in general than recommended (personal preference). I used a 3.5 mm hook, but it does call for a 4mm.
▫️Overall I am very happy with my purchase and will continue to use it as long as they keep producing the same quality product.
▫️Certain colors are inexpensive. But other colors are priced ridiculously high. If you run into this issue with certain colors like I did - My solution to that was to:
????️Take down the brand name
????️ Get the name of the color skien
????️Put it into the amazon search engine and see if there are any cheaper deals. OR go to a different storefront and look else where. Thankfully I've been able to find the colors I need at $5 or under on this sellers page and on another sellers page. To be clear, I am not suggesting getting the SAME color skien from two different sellers. The yarn could be from two different lots and you might end up with slight color variations.
(I paid for 3 silver, 3 dark grey, 3 pack of taupe, 3 Ecru, 3 multi-pink/beige yarns).
I'll update this post after the completion of my project.
Happy Crocheting to all!

The feel and look of a higher quality is obvious once you touch a finished piece. Yes, the yarn feels different than standard yarn. It’s supposed to. It’s processed differently for a reason.
This particular yarn is perfect for any project that will be used or handled frequently. It is stronger, doesn’t produce heavy lint, doesn’t get fuzzy or pill up, doesn’t split easily, and is more resistant to mildew. It holds its shape better than regular cotton yarn, and withstands many many washes and tumble dries on a medium heat setting. (Don’t use bleach or fabric softener.)
I disagree with the reviews that call it “thread” or dk weight. Not true. Yes, there is a dk version of this brand, but it clearly says dk on the front part of the label. The thickness is comparable of an identical piece stitched with standard cotton yarn.
The yarn swatches up just as noted on the label:
Crochet Gauge (4in x 4in)
14 single crochets x 19 rows
using a G-6 (4 mm) crochet hook
Knit Gauge (4in x 4in)
20 stitches x 28 rows
using #6 (4 mm) knitting needles
Photo 1: My current 24/7 yarn stash is from in-store and Amazon purchases over a several month time span. The overall quality and color of yarn is consistent across the board, regardless of where it was purchased from. This stash is ever changing because of the volume of crocheting I do in my spare time.
Photo 2: I use a LOT of this yarn to make simple dishcloths/washcloths for charity fundraisers in our local area. They are a hot commodity because of the durability and how they hold their vibrant color for a long time. Definitely better than any store bought dishcloth/washcloth. Honestly, I can’t make them fast enough.
If you’re unsure about Lion Brand’s 24/7 cotton yarn or if you’re unfamiliar with mercerized cotton, try a skein. Don’t judge the yarn until you’ve finished the project. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.
This is my honest opinion from my personal experience with this product. I purchase all items at the posted price and do not receive any product or incentive for providing a review.
