Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton is 100% mercerised cotton with a soft sheen and crisp stitch definition. Mercerising is a finishing process that smooths and strengthens the cotton fibre, which is why this yarn reflects light and holds a stitch pattern more sharply than a matte cotton of the same weight.
That definition is the reason it suits projects where the stitches are the point: amigurumi and toys, market bags and baskets, and homeware that needs to keep its shape. It works up at a worsted weight, so pieces grow quickly without losing detail.
It is also a practical everyday cotton. Machine washable at 40°C and safe to tumble dry on a low heat, it stands up to baby items, kitchen and bathroom makes, and anything that gets handled often.

Review summary
Reviewers mostly praise how easy the yarn is to work with, its lack of splitting, and its colours. A few say yarn from a newer production site feels thinner or less soft. Complaints about orders not arriving or arriving late are uncommon.

I have used Lion Brand Cotton before and found it very good to knit with. I do think that since the yarn is now made in Pakistan, it is not as good as when it was first made in Mexico. It had a softer feel about it. I'm having to use the new ball with the old ones from Mexico. The new ball looks a bit less fluffy, but I'm hoping it will wash a bit more softer to match. I will see how the made garments wear. Love Crafts was very good sending my order out.
It is easy to work with. I'm using it for a Christmas bauble!!!! So far so good - not quite finished. Gonna need a bigger tree!!!!
This particular yarn is great for bucket hats and sunflower handbags. Very durable and the colors are beautiful.
I really enjoyed working with this yarn. It is high-quality, and the colors are simply excellent; I bought even more for my projects. It doesn't split, feels very pleasant to the touch, and I recommend it to everyone. I will definitely buy it again for other projects.

I thought I would give this yarn a try based on its competitive price. Very pleased with the quality,it is so much softer than other brands I have use. Will definitely be purchasing again
I absolutely LOVE this yarn. Works up beautifully......I've been making placemats rug mug/coaster sets.
It's an excellent cotton quality. Very soft, such a beautiful colour, easy to work, no knots, resistant. I do really like and highly suggest it.
This is my second purchase of this trusty 24/7 cotton. It's a great yarn for making crochet bags as it gives you that extra added stiffness and durability needed for certain patterns. Im carrying two colors in my pattern, so it does make the tote bag a bit weighty but my daughter actually likes that aspect of it. Replacing now since her first one got chewed by her new puppy.
I love Lion Brand 24/7 yarn. This is my third project with the yarn I am planning further projects using it. It's the best yarn I have ever worked with.
