Perfect for dishcloths
It knits up well and seems perfect for dishcloths. I haven't had a chance to use the dishcloths yet.
Several say the finished pieces feel lovely and soft.

Summarized by AI
Product arrived in good time. The yarn is very good for knitting cloth.
Good quality recycled yarn + good service and price. Thanks
Lovely and soft, easy to work with, slips along the needles. Good colour. Great that it's recycled.
Great value and quality
Good product, good delivery
This yarn is the best I have found for knitting long lasting and affective dish cloths
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
