Beautiful neutral white cotton yarn

I used this yarn to crochet a beach cover-up and bag. I like the natural color of the yarn, the way it drapes, and its strength. It doesn't stretch much and it isn't super soft, but it feel durable. It took a little getting used to when starting out because the strands do split a little. I'm a beginner crocheter and I found it easily workable with a little practice.

Happy with the yarn and the service.

Knitting in a fairly complicated lace pattern the yarn is easy to handle. The yarn was excellent value and there is some virtue in using a recycled product.

Bought this cotton worsted yarn as it was recycled. It is hard to the touch and the threads separate very easily. My son is happy with the feel, not sure I’d wear it
