Summarized by AI
Lovely yarn, heavy, cool. Knits up really quickly. Quite expensive to make a blanket but worth every penny.
My daughter was vegan and wanted me to knit her some jumpers. The pattern she wanted used pure wool, but this cotton worked quite well. I had a few balls left over, so am now making a cardigan out of the leftovers.
I bought this to crochet a basket and it work really well! I wasn't sure the exact width when I bought it, but it worked perfectly
I am using it for a long sleeved open knit slash necked jumper. The weight is perfect. It has a slight tendency to split so you have to keep an eye on your accuracy or you'll get loops of stitches poking out. I'm looking forward to seeing it finished
Lovely yarn, feels cool and heavy, knits up quickly.
I love this yarn, and use it for making crocheted baskets as it's perfect. I also use it for macrame.
The choice of colors is great. It works up fast because of its thickness. This chunky cotton yarn is my go to yarn for the summer! I’ve used it so far to make pouches, punch needle work, pencil cup...
It is a great yarn. My only issue is occasionally there is a knot connecting two pieces (once per ball). I wish it were a continuous piece of yarn throughout.
The yarn is fine, but it definitely is not a super bulky yarn. Maybe bulky at best, but even calling it that feels like pushing it. Good quality yarn otherwise, just not what I was looking for.
The yarn is nice, but much thinner than I was hoping. I'd definitely say this is on the lighter side of bulky, and definitely nowhere near super bulky. Will still find a use for it, but it won't work for my plans.
