Soft and Bright Yarn for Arts and Crafts

This yarn is truly a joy to work with - the mercerized cotton gives it a soft, smooth finish and the vivid colors are perfect for any project. It also holds up well to multiple washes and wear. The only downside is that it can be a bit pricier than other yarns on the market. However, for the quality, it's definitely worth the investment. Overall, I highly recommend this yarn for any knitting or crochet project.

Pros
  • High-quality mercerized cotton material
Cons
  • Slightly more expensive compared to non-mercerized cotton options

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

Lightweight sport yarn, suitable for yarn

This yarn is listed as a sport yarn but is lighter. I have previously used the XL version of this yarn which requires a 3.5-3.75mm hook which is a real sport yarn. They list the XL version as a 4/worsted which is not the case. This is a larger fingering weight as it is much thinner and uses a 2.5-3.25mm hook. I am currently using it with a 2.5mm hook and I don't like using this yarn. It looks a bit stiffer compared to the XL version. The color schemes are the same for all weights, but I'm…

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
