Utopia Crafts Re-Cotton Knitting Yarn, 5X 100g (Cream)

Great yarn, loads of colours only downside is it splits..but for the price I can handle that

I have just started my project: a gansey for myself, and this yarn is really lovely to work with. It is durable and solid (it will not break when casting on), and super soft and nice at the touch when holding it to your chin’s skin, not scratchy at all, as I find some other yarns. The composition of 80% recycled cotton and 20% recycled polyester could not be better for the planet and to assuage my consumer guilt. I will be buying a lot more of this if they have a suitable colour range, so far I like the cream, dark grey and green, and I’ll check out the reds too. The value for money is really unbelievable.Only negative comment is that I followed the advice on the label which recommends using needles 5-6mm, and that was a brief disaster: the fabric was too loose and floppy and I did not like it, it appeared almost as lace.Instead, I used 3.75mm on rib and 4.5mm on the body of my sweater and that was a lot better. But I guess 4mm or 4.25mm for the body would probably have been even better. BEWARE, as that would definitely change the recommended tension.Since I am still knitting my project and I have not yet wet blocked it or washed it (the label recommends 30 degree wash), I really have no way of knowing how it will looks after several washes, but since it is already recycled, I hope it will stand well to being washed regularly.

I'm making a cardigan, I think I need 2 packs for it, so far for the sleeves I have used 2, it is easy to work with and doesn't peel like acrylic yarn often does. It is good quality but if you want a soft cotton I am not sure if this is the one, it's like a hard but good quality yarn in the way that it is stern and your pattern shows up really well! Good quality for the money I would say.

i really like this yarn. it's easy to work with and i havent found the yarn to split at all. im crocheting a throw and it's looking gorgeous. i will be buying it again.

Love this to knit with. For my Grand-daughter

Very easy to work with it and look so beautiful and neat

Lovely good quality cotton yarn to work with, great value for money.

Lovely wool, good price, ok shade but not what I ordered. The image on the description is much more vibrant and warm than the wool I received, which was much cooler and in some lights looked grey.
