Review summary
Reviewers mostly praise the colours, the smooth feel and how easy the yarn is to work with. Complaints are uncommon; a few mention the fine weight, a stiff feel with little stretch, or colours that looked different from expectations.

Excellent yarn, smooth, no joins, great range of colours, lovely silky feel, slight sheen. My favourite cotton yarn.
Great feel to the yarn. Stitch definition is excellent. But there is no stretch in the cotton yarn, so sometimes more yardage is required for a project. The heirloom baby blanket I was knitting needed nine balls of yarn, not the eight stated on Loveknitting's website.
A new discovery for me! Excellent quality yarn with a massive colour range that works without splitting to give an even finish.
Made up beautifully. Put through washer and dryer, came out perfect even though label said not to put in dryer. Hopefully an heirloom type baby blanket.
I Love working with Schachenmar Catania . the colors are beautiful the feel of this cotton is very soft and this yarn really shows off the pattern.
This yarn is really nice to work with and gives a great finish. Good stitch definition and doesn’t split when knitting on small diameter needles. I love the quality and would recommend it.
Beautiful cotton yarn, lovely to work with.
I've never used fingering weight yarn before and was a bit nervous about using it to make a crochet top... but the yarn is wonderful to work with and the colour is beautifully vibrant.
Lovely yarns with a subtle sheen when worked. Like the choice of colours, although they are not always in stock.
Good quality 100% cotton yarn, knits up beautfully
