Review on La Mia Lux Mercerized Cotton 5 Ball Pack - 8.8 Oz Total, 100% Cotton, Each 1.76 Oz (50g) / 150 Yards (164 m), Fine-Sport Orange Shade 194 by Linda Diaz

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Recommended for large projects

Revain's description says it's for 2-3mm but the packaging says it's for 6mm. It actually works in 2-3, but my amigurumi 2.5 came out quite stiff and filled with such a tight crochet hook, which is a shame considering how delightfully soft the yarn is. I strongly recommend using this yarn with a thickness of at least 4 mm. Also, mercerized cotton seems to have a downside: the loss of large pieces of down if not properly gutted, causing the yarn to become thin in places.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
