Most reviewers are pleased with this recycled cotton yarn, praising its colours and its suitability for dishcloths and bags. Complaints are uncommon. The main one is that some find the strands split easily, and a few say the yarn feels rough or less soft than expected.

Product arrived in good time. The yarn is very good for knitting cloth.
Lovely and soft, easy to work with, slips along the needles. Good colour. Great that it's recycled.
This yarn is the best I have found for knitting long lasting and affective dish cloths
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.
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
