Perfect yarn for tote bags

I like the great selection, and the yarn was exactly what I wanted at a very good price. I'm having a bit of a crochet episode and using it for making tote bags, which are turning out very well. The cotton is perfect because I need the bags not to stretch, and it has good quality.

I love this yarn for its softness, thickness and overall usability. Has good stitch definition also. It does tend to split, but I can overlook that. Others may find it annoying. Has nice drape. I use it to make decorative throw rugs.

Great quality affordable yarn

This yarn washes up into a super soft project. The color did run a little when washed but not any more than I expected.
