Lion Brand Yarn, 24/7 Cotton Mercerized Lightweight Yarn for Knitting, Crochet, and Crafts, Coffee Beans, 1 Pack, 185 Yards of Natural Fiber for Breathable Tops, Durable Bags, Easy-Care Dish Cloths

This cotton yarn is beautiful and comes in all sorts of vibrant colours. It's is very easy to crochet with and is well suited for making all types of market bags. There is no piling after lots of handling. The yarn is not as soft as some other cotton yarns but it depends on what you want to crochet but it is in no way a ' rough . Although this is an ' aran ' weight yarn it does feel a little thinner than other brands but it does remain very suitable for patterns that call for aran / wostered weight cotton. The yarn is strong and doesn't split easily and I have not come across any 'knots،،،" It washes like a dream with no colour loss and the colour doesn't run. I highly recommend this product. It is a little expensive, depending of what you are making but it is really worthwhile

Interesting yarn, it is braided so has a rough feel but is actually smooth so I expect it to have less fraying and hobbling than regular 8 ply cotton yarn. The pack states mercerised but unlike the mercerised cotton 8 am used to from Scheepjes or anchor this has no shine to it. It is easy to work worth, I am using it to crochet a plant retainer ( to reign in my lavender) so I chose the two colours that best blended in with the lavender, which are the sage green and the purple , both are dusky colours, muted and work well for my project although the purple is much lighter in real life than on my screen whereas the green is exactly the same. Although it is 100g, because of the dense braided nature of the yarn, that doesn't equate to a long length. Definitely recommend for any structural projects, it could init up into a sturdy jumper or socks, but I personally wouldn't use it for clothing, it's more suited to sturdy things like toys or practical items like bags or pillow cases in my opinion.

I’ve always shied away from cotton yarn due to splitting issues, but this is a game changer! Absolutely beautiful colours, a gorgeous sheen and no splitting 🙌🏻. Easy to work with and I will be using this from now on, even though it’s slightly more expensive than other cotton yarn. Feels more like a DK weight but it wouldn’t put me off using it.

great quality, tangles a bit, fairly soft

Perfect for my amigurumi project

Great colours in this range, great quality and great to work with, doesn’t split. The finished items made look really smart

Beautiful yarn and very easy to work with. Washes well and doesn’t fade.

This was my fourth purchase of this yarn in this colour. Quality good as before, but the yarn amount looks much smaller than before and for the same price. :(

The cotton is very soft and can use for making a quilt

Love the way that it works up. Can do plain a knit pattern and it looks like you knitted a not so simple pattern.

Great wool

Soft, smooth and doesn't pill or split easily, but is a little expensive for cotton yarn. Also a little thinner than the average worsted-weight yarn.

Well packaged and just as described. Thank you!
