Lion Brand Yarn Lightweight 24/7 Cotton Yarn for Knitting, Crocheting, and Crafts, Ecru, 1 Pack

I’m 11and I bought Ecru and it’s a beautiful color 🤍. It was easy to find the beginning of the yarn and I love the fact that it’s cotton. I loved this yarn so much so I three more balls of it so I could make my mom a table runner. It’s definitely not as soft as I hoped but it perfect for a table runner . I will make only the best of the best crochet 🧶 projects with this yarn.🔥

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.

This is beautiful yarn. It has a somewhat stiff feel compared to other cotton yarns, almost like it was waxed. I had to use a plastic hook with it because my painted hooks kept sticking to the finish and this made it harder to form stitches. The plastic hooks were fine. Normally, my vintage painted hooks glide easily through any yarn. This yarn made much prettier designs than another brand of cotton yarn when I tested them with samples of the same intricate pattern. This yarn showed off the pattern better and made it look artistic. It takes a little longer to form certain stitches because of the yarn’s coating, but the finished product is definitely worth the added time. I didn’t experience any splitting like I did with the other brand. Unraveling (frogging) is easy. I tried this repeatedly on the same section to make sure. This brand has good online recommendations and reviews, so I assume it will prove to be worth the cost. The colors are so pretty that it was hard to decide which to buy first. I noticed some packages with compatible colors, too. Very pretty choices. Cotton yarn is great for so many things, so having some of this on hand would be a good idea. I bought four skeins of the eggplant color. It goes beautifully with antiques and framed antique pictures.

This is a pretty good more budget friendly cotton (if you can find it on sale).The colors are very saturated, but I have never had transfer on to my hands.The texture is not particularly soft and can irritate your hands, but it is also quite durable and is not going to break.This yarn has very nice stitch definition.The skein looks very small, but it is packed tight.Overall it works really well for many project as long as you are not looking for the softest yarn.Currently, I am combining it with other yarns to make coasters, the 24/7 gives the project nice structure, while the other yarns work well for the fluffier leafy bits.

This yarn is great, especially for 100% cotton yarn. It feels smooth and doesn't fray. It is very easy to work with and doesn't irritate my skin with its coarseness like some of the other cotton yarns. The colors are true to the photos. The white is really nice and bright white. I'll definitely purchase again to use for future projects. I've included a photo of the in-progress blanket I purchased this yarn for, which displays the colors: White, Succulent, Terracotta, and Lemon

This yarn is great for crocheting bags!! This yarn is perfect for granny squares, and is easy to crochet with. It’s affordable and totally worth it! The yarn ball is a little smaller as it looks in the picture but I was able to create many granny squares with the whole yarn. 10/10 would recommend. Very good cotton yarn. Good quality.

Lovely warm golden brown, silky smooth texture, hasn’t tangled on me yet and I’ve used it on and off over a few months. Ends sometimes fray, but that’s expected, as I’m pretty rough with yarn and tend to unravel project and reuse the material over again and again. Can create very tight and neat rows for crochet 🧶
