Lion Brand Yarn 761-101 24-7 Cotton Yarn, Pink

This is 100% (mercerized) 4/medium worsted cotton. It’s intended to have a different texture and is much more durable than conventional cotton yarn without the loss of a nice feel.The feel and look of a higher quality is obvious once you touch a finished piece. Yes, the yarn feels different than standard yarn. It’s supposed to. It’s processed differently for a reason.This particular yarn is perfect for any project that will be used or handled frequently. It is stronger, doesn’t produce heavy lint, doesn’t get fuzzy or pill up, doesn’t split easily, and is more resistant to mildew. It holds its shape better than regular cotton yarn, and withstands many many washes and tumble dries on a medium heat setting. (Don’t use bleach or fabric softener.)I disagree with the reviews that call it “thread” or dk weight. Not true. Yes, there is a dk version of this brand, but it clearly says dk on the front part of the label. The thickness is comparable of an identical piece stitched with standard cotton yarn.The yarn swatches up just as noted on the label:Crochet Gauge (4in x 4in)14 single crochets x 19 rowsusing a G-6 (4 mm) crochet hookKnit Gauge (4in x 4in)20 stitches x 28 rowsusing #6 (4 mm) knitting needlesPhoto 1: My current 24/7 yarn stash is from in-store and Amazon purchases over a several month time span. The overall quality and color of yarn is consistent across the board, regardless of where it was purchased from. This stash is ever changing because of the volume of crocheting I do in my spare time.Photo 2: I use a LOT of this yarn to make simple dishcloths/washcloths for charity fundraisers in our local area. They are a hot commodity because of the durability and how they hold their vibrant color for a long time. Definitely better than any store bought dishcloth/washcloth. Honestly, I can’t make them fast enough.If you’re unsure about Lion Brand’s 24/7 cotton yarn or if you’re unfamiliar with mercerized cotton, try a skein. Don’t judge the yarn until you’ve finished the project. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.This is my honest opinion from my personal experience with this product. I purchase all items at the posted price and do not receive any product or incentive for providing a review.

Es un material excelente, que no se engancha y no suelta hilos. El problema de al comprarlo aquí es que no puedes conseguir un montón de ovillos de la misma tintada. Yo lo quería para hacer Granny Square, es decir, que sólo voy a utilizar un poquito cada vez, por lo que para mí no es importante volver a conseguir el mismo color exacto. Si lo quieres para algo así, la calidad es muy buena.

I used both the white and the yellow colors of these yarns to do a border on a project. The skeins are true to color and are a tougher yarn (think more cord like). They aren't rough though and I think they will soften over time. They yarn has no stretch and is stiff but can still be worked into nice stitches. I would probably not use this for a blanket border again, but I would use it for a coffee cozy, on a purse/bag, or when making decorative tablescape items (things where I want structure). There was only splitting when I made errors. It takes a 4mm crochet hook.

Ne ho presi 3 gomitoli ed è un cotone di alta qualità. Un po' caro ma ne vale la pena, da lavorare ad uncinetto è il top scorre benissimo!

I’m a beginner and I started with dollar store yarn. This stuff is so much nicer. Like mini ropes or cords instead of a fuzzy unraveling mess. So worth the extra cost. I’ve frogged it a couple times and it really seems to resist pilling. I’m sure it will pill eventually but so much less than the other stuff I was using. Currently crocheting amigurumi with a 2.5mm hook. This orange is nice and bright.
