Smaller than I expected but great
This was my first time buying 2 fine weight yarn so I didn’t expect the skein to be so small. It makes sense though with how fine the yarn is and I am happy with the quality! Allows for very defined stitches and a clean sharp look unlike acrylic which can look fuzzy.

Wonderful, silky yarn
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!

Can't recommend enough!
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.

Check your actual color before purchase
The reason I gave it a 4 is that although I love the yarn I am disappoint in shade of red. It does not match the picture. Great value for the money and soft but firm enough to give the I want in my projects.

Beautiful yarn
I love the feel and the color and quality. The skeins were smaller than I expected, but the quality makes up for it.
