I crochet a lot – doilies, lace fringes, etc. – and Aunt Lydia is one of my favorites. It's one of the most economical options (compared to "luxury" brands) and consistently works well for the things I love to do. The colors are lovely too - I chose this "cream" to use with some small crocheted mandalas. The yellowish tone worked great with Aunt Lydia's other colors (corn etc) to achieve the desired effect, from light (mid) to dark. I can definitely recommend it - good quality at a good price. I like it.
