Very Good quality
I bought two skeins, and though they looked very small when they arrived. But one and a half was more than enough for an adult winter hat. This is the best cotton yarn I’ve used, and with Joann Fabrics closing, I plan to use only this yarn for all my future projects.

Can't recommend enough!
I don't understand why Amazon lists this yarn as a frequently returned item. I love it! I used it to make a few dish towels for Christmas presents, and they turned out beautiful (and they hold up perfect in the wash). I've seen other reviewers mention that there's less than expected in each skein, and this makes them overpriced, but I completely disagree. Yes, there isn't a crazy amount in each skein (it took me 2 whole skeins to make a very small gauge 17"x8" dish towel, reasonably sized), but keep in mind that 1) it is 100% cotton & well made and 2) you get two skeins for ~$9, which is comparable if not slightly more than one skein that is equal in weight/length to these two skeins added together. It all kind of evens out.I also want to add that it was almost impossible to find a 2 (Fine) yarn weight in 100% cotton that wasn't actually overpriced (the website I got my pattern from sold their 100g skeins for ~$20), so finding this yarn was a godsend lol. I highly recommend it, just keep in mind how much you'll need. For small projects, 2 skeins will likely be enough.

A little persnickety...
This yarn has a smooth texture. It is a little shiny, which I did not expect. The price was great. I ordered it to use with a pattern I had purchased, as it was the right color and the right style/weight. However, I am disappointed with how easily it separates or splits as I am using it, and it also "pills" a bit. While I am stitching, I find myself pushing a ring of built-up lint down the line of yarn until it is big enough that I can safely trim the side of it so that I can pull it off the length. I thought it was a fluke the first time, but after trimming that first ring, I soon discovered a new one had started.I am somewhat newer to crochet, so maybe this is normal--- but the yarn I used in my previous 5 projects was a different texture and never did this. This yarn will serve my purposes for this project, but I might try a different one if I need flesh colored yarn in this size again.As far as the splitting/separating, that can certainly be annoying when trying to keep clean stitches. It's not horrible, but thankfully I am not about perfection, and this project is not something that will be sold, but a gift.If you are ok with all of the above, then this yarn may be the yarn for you!

Wonderful, silky yarn
I ordered this to complete a baby blanket, which I had previously started a year ago. I was worried that due to different dye lots, the colors would not match. I was so relieved to see that it was a perfect match! The yarn is so strong and silky (ideal for a baby blanket) and I'm so excited to be able to finish it the way I was hoping! For how light the yarn is, it is going to be the perfect level of warmth while still staying a little cool. It is probably a weight 4 yarn, but feels more like a 3-4 weight. With how silky it is, it is incredible easy to use and doesn't get hung up on the hook at all. I believe this will be the only cotton brand I buy from here on out!

Great yarn!
It’s not possible to heap enough praise on the mercerized cotton yarn for washcloths and other items. There’s little to no shrinkage and what you start with is how you finally end. Unfortunately, I didn’t buy enough of this color in this dye lot, but that’s my bad. I can adapt because this is a good yarn with consistent colors and dye lots.
