Wow Hobbii, what a superb treat,
All of these colours are right up my street.
So many shades in this cotton 8/4,
Crocheting is a delight, certainly not a chore.
I love the quality of this fingering weight,
So soft and natural, what shall I create?
So glad I've found you, as I simply adore,
All of your yarns, I'll definitely be back for more.
Fabulous yarn, superior to other cottons I have used and a fantastic price too. So useful with the labelled end of the yarn, no splitting or knots, just beautiful soft natural cotton. I purchased mainly greys as I am crocheting a wall hanging from a graph of my 2 beautiful grandchildren in grey scale for my daughter as a Xmas gift. I love love love it. And yes, as Arnie said, I'll be back, this is my number 1 favourite yarn and store.

I recently tried amigurumi crochet for the first time, initially with acrylic yarn and then, having had some success, graduating to a larger project and Rainbow 8/8 and 8/4 yarn. I had never used cotton yarn before but instantly loved it, and the 8/4 was a revelation because I have seldom used yarn thinner than DK. The yarn feels soft and is comfortable to work, seeming not to shed fibres, and it’s strength and lack of stretch makes it ideal for toys. The variety of colours is impressive and the competitive price and excellent customer service I received from Hobbii staff at every stage ensure that I will be a return customer.

I was very excited to receive my squishy parcel. this was the first time I have ordered from Hobbii and was blown away with the professionalism of this company, and at the same time the friendliness of the staff. I received several emails after I placed my order to tell me that my order was on its way, and was kept informed of what was happening. The quality of the product is amazing and I have actually just placed a second order which I can't wait to arrive. The colours are beautiful and the cotton so lovely to crochet with. I will hopefully be ordering more in the future.

The best yarn, I wouldn’t go anywhere else! I own a small knitting business, knitting baby clothes ect. and I absolutely love this yarn. It’s so easy to work with, super soft and the colours are beautiful. I am always getting compliments from customers on the quality of the cotton. I’ve used 8/4, 8/6 and 8/8 for my knitted outfits, depending on what my knitting patterns require and they are all lovely. I also make knitted wire words with 8/8 yarn and is perfect! Beautiful 🥰

This Rainbow 8/4 cotton is absolutely lovely to work with. I recently decided to take up crocheting again for the first time since I was a child and ordered a different and well known make of 8/4 cotton, not knowing any different. I thought it was my inefficiency which was splitting the yarn constantly, slowing me down, and now I know it was not me! Your cotton has not split on me once yet, and I am actually enjoying crocheting again! Thank you hobbii 😊😊😊
