[ Set of 2 Skeins ] SMC Catania Originals 100% Mercerized Cotton Yarn, Total 3.52 Oz. Each 1.76 Oz (50g) / 136 Yrds (125 m) Amigurumi Yarn Fine-Sport 2 (249 Gold)

This is a fine (2) yarn so the skein seems small but it's not.... it goes a long way! Didn't even use 1 skein for this project and it comes with 2!! Well made, it didn't split or unwind. Sturdy and easy to work with. I would buy again. Definitely recommend. The blue yarn is a different brand...

Very nice color and high quality yarn ❤️

I don't understand why Amazon lists this yarn as a frequently returned item. I love it! I used it to make a few dish towels for Christmas presents, and they turned out beautiful (and they hold up perfect in the wash). I've seen other reviewers mention that there's less than expected in each skein, and this makes them overpriced, but I completely disagree. Yes, there isn't a crazy amount in each skein (it took me 2 whole skeins to make a very small gauge 17"x8" dish towel, reasonably sized), but keep in mind that 1) it is 100% cotton & well made and 2) you get two skeins for ~$9, which is comparable if not slightly more than one skein that is equal in weight/length to these two skeins added together. It all kind of evens out. I also want to add that it was almost impossible to find a 2 (Fine) yarn weight in 100% cotton that wasn't actually overpriced (the website I got my pattern from sold their 100g skeins for ~$20), so finding this yarn was a godsend lol. I highly recommend it, just keep in mind how much you'll need. For small projects, 2 skeins will likely be enough.

I am infatuated with the catania mercerized cotton yarn. The sheen, the softness, the ease with which it slides on the hook/ needles and the colors, oh the colors! It works great for making amigurumi.

This yarn has a smooth texture. It is a little shiny, which I did not expect. The price was great. I ordered it to use with a pattern I had purchased, as it was the right color and the right style/weight. However, I am disappointed with how easily it separates or splits as I am using it, and it also "pills" a bit. While I am stitching, I find myself pushing a ring of built-up lint down the line of yarn until it is big enough that I can safely trim the side of it so that I can pull it off the length. I thought it was a fluke the first time, but after trimming that first ring, I soon discovered a new one had started. I am somewhat newer to crochet, so maybe this is normal--- but the yarn I used in my previous 5 projects was a different texture and never did this. This yarn will serve my purposes for this project, but I might try a different one if I need flesh colored yarn in this size again. As far as the splitting/separating, that can certainly be annoying when trying to keep clean stitches. It's not horrible, but thankfully I am not about perfection, and this project is not something that will be sold, but a gift. If you are ok with all of the above, then this yarn may be the yarn for you!

I ordered this to complete a baby blanket, which I had previously started a year ago. I was worried that due to different dye lots, the colors would not match. I was so relieved to see that it was a perfect match! The yarn is so strong and silky (ideal for a baby blanket) and I'm so excited to be able to finish it the way I was hoping! For how light the yarn is, it is going to be the perfect level of warmth while still staying a little cool. It is probably a weight 4 yarn, but feels more like a 3-4 weight. With how silky it is, it is incredible easy to use and doesn't get hung up on the hook at all. I believe this will be the only cotton brand I buy from here on out!

The yarn is beautiful. It’s silky and easy to work with. Smaller than I expected, but I didn’t look at the weight of each skein. I’m happy with it.

Love this for my crafts and doilies
