Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton Yarn, Yarn for Knitting, Crocheting, and Crafts, Beets, 3 Pack

So good for amigurumi! The yarn its a little glossy, its no matte or opaque in total. Very sturdy too. The right crochet to work with its 3mm maybe 3.5mm. Its soft, easy to work with. You need to try this yarn!

Very smooth, round, compact yarn gives good stitch definition; beautiful color, as always with Lion Brand; great yardage for such a substantial yarn, and no joins or other flaws in the skein. I did a small crossbody phone bag in double crochet with a chained and over single crocheted strap and both the receiver and myself were pleased. I allowed for shrinkage, but can't report on that.

Love this yarn! It is strong, durable. It doesn't split easily. It is soft and smooth, pulls easily. That's important as cotton can wear your hands out fast when you are crocheting. It is a good weight and will work for many projects. I wish Amazon carried more color selections. I have noticed it's cheaper to buy 3 separate skeins than a PK of 3...but the pack of 3 ensures batch numbers. This is a good yarn and for the price it is my go-to for cotton projects.

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.

Original order was a skein of white. Liked the way it handled, and ordered several skeins in lots of colors.I make doll sweaters for 14.4” and 18” dolls for the grandkids. The doll in the two photos is a 14.5” doll.The yarn has a nice luster, is lightweight and smooth to handle. The colors are very nice. It is very forgiving, and doesn’t split very easily. The single crochet stitch used in the all white sweater vest was a little stiff. The double crochet stitch used in the colored sweater was softer. I used an aluminum Size H crochet hook for each sweater.I found no frayed or cut ends in the skeins. Each skein was packaged in a plastic bag in the mailing envelope, and was clean and pristine. There were no issues with the cleanliness or condition of any of the numerous skeins I received.I enjoyed crocheting with this yarn. It was nice to handle, and easy to make into tiny doll sweaters. I may find a larger project to use this yarn on.Your mileage may vary. Happy crocheting!
