Great yarn to work with Due to the cotton mix not being 100% cotton it holds its shape so much better. I have knitted a few summer tops cardigans in it.
I've recently started doing crochet intarsia and this yarn was excellent for the project. The yarn does not split and gives a firm (but not boardy) finish, almost like a fabric. I've also used it to knit with and it gives a softer, drapy feel. Personally for knitting I prefer it knitted on a number 3.5mm needle rather than the 4mms needle recommended.
This yarn crochets wonderfully! It's so soft yet perfectly firm for the amigurumi pattern I bought it for (Necromancer Vulture by CrochetByBogusia). Would definitely recommend!
Bought 2 colours to work into a crochet intarsia pattern. This is excellent quality yarn and really good for crochet because it doesn't split even if you have to pull back for a mistake. Worth the money and would buy again.
The product was perfect for the amigurimi projects I was using it for. The colors are bright and the yarn easy to work with.
Soft yarn, easy to use even though its thin yarn. Beautiful colour and fun to work with
I love this yarn! The cotton acrylic blend makes it perfect for garments. The color options are gorgeous! So easy to work with, too.
Not used this yarn before, but it seems very soft and is looking very pretty as I start knitting a lacy patterned jumper for my new granddaughter. My stock of patterns are so old that I rarely find the recommended yarn. I like the fact that it is 60% cotton, as I prefer natural fibres wherever possible. I’m looking forward to seeing the finished jumper.
Easy to crochet with. Beautiful colours. 60 % cotton and 40% acrylic. I will be using this all the time. Very Happy with this product.
