Beautiful yarn with perfect stitch definition
This yarn is beautiful to work with and the colours are lovely. I'm making a cropped short sleeve top and it's coming on very well. It’s holding the shape very well and the stitch definition is perfect.

I found it lovely to crochet with! The Cottonsoft is lovely and soft, just perfect for a newborn piece! I made a newborn cardigan and it was well received.
I love this yarn! It is beautifully soft and is my ‘go to’ yarn for the majority of my baby knits. The great range of colours make it ideal for ensuring the garments I knit are in keeping with the latest trends for babies and toddlers. The finished garments keep their shape when I launder them and they wear well. The price is great too!
I am enjoying knitting with king Cole cotton yarn. It is so soft. The yarn doesn’t split or tangle like other yarns I have tried. The yarn gauge worked out perfect to my pattern which seldom happens for me. I plan to purchase it again once I have finished my current project.
Beautiful wool, so soft the colour is better than I expected. Lovely to knit with too. Certainly a brand to buy again.
I have crocheted a jumper with this wool. It worked out exact to size. I do love King Cole yarn and have never had a problem with how the garments have made up and washed. I have not washed thIs particular garment yet.
Can’t rate this yarn higher than that it is one of the few 100% cotton yarns that are the stipulated choice of Knitted Knockers UK who make bespoke prosthetics for mastectomy patients. It gives a very soft, matt finish and is not stringy like some cottons. Knits up well on 4mm, but I prefer 3.75 for ‘knockers’ which are stuffed so look better with a close weave.
This yarn is so soft and lovely to work with! I’m using it for a cable knit cardigan for my baby and love the stitch definition and feel.
Beautiful pure cotton yarn, easy to knit with. I am delighted with my first order from Lovecrafts! My order arrived promptly, well packaged. I will be buying more yarn from this excellent website. The price of my yarn could not be matched anywhere else! Great value for quality yarn.
Cottonsoft has a very pleasant feel to it . I’ve used my bamboo needles as it is smooth and slid off my other needles . It is thicker than some other dk yarn I’ve used , so check gauge if it matters. I have made three summer tops with it and have been very pleased with the results.
