“The yarn is soft and knits up very well- a Knit Picks winner.” Obsessed with Knitting

"My favourite yarn (so far) is the Cotlin Yarn. I knit sets of seven baby wash cloths and/or bibs (one for each day of the week) and my family, my friends and friends of family and friends of friends just rave over how soft the washcloths are and the fact that these items stay soft even after several washes in the machine. Last year I knit for 6 babies and this year already I have to knit for two expectant mums. I also love the fact that Cotlin is economical in price. I can knit two and a half baby wash cloths with just one ball. The colours are bright and exciting as well. Well done KnitPicks!" lookakookaburra, Knitting Community Member

*****

I love this yarn. I've made lace curtains, tablerunners and now a jacket with this yarn. I've never had a color be off from the photos but in all fairness I tend towards fairly neutral colors.

*****

One of my favorite yarns. I find the color swatch very accurate - never had a problem with photo. Love the finished object's feel and luxuriousness.

****

This yarn is a very nice weight that can be used in many projects.

The only problem I have is with the description of the colors listed.
I ordered "conch" described as a pink orange color but what I received in a dark orange. The other color I ordered is supposed to be a seafoam color but is darker, more like a turquoise.
Shipping is always fast, and customer service great.

***

Was super excited to finally get my order in the mail because I was drooling over the colour conch, but super disappointed when I opened the box to discover that the vibrant coral colour as described/displayed was a dirty muted orange colour!
