I recently tried amigurumi crochet for the first time - making Star Wars figures with acrylic yarn - and having had some success with that graduated to a project making dolls of ‘Iconic Women who Changed the World’ which recommended the Rainbow Cotton 8/8 yarn. I have never used cotton yarn before but have been very impressed with it, finding it smooth and soft, but also strong. It does not seem to shed fibres as I work it and the fact that it doesn’t stretch makes it particularly good for toys. The huge range of colours is impressive, the price is very competitive and the service I have received from Hobbii has been friendly, helpful and quick. I expect to buy more of this yarn in the future and have seen numerous others on the website I would also love to try.

I have worked with cotton yarns before and not had a good experiance as I have found them to be too stiff and rough. This is very different, It is soft and easy to use. I have used it in both knitting and crochet and have had a good experiance with it. Very slightly splitty in crochet but that could be user error as I am quite new to that skill but my knitting had no splitting at all. When I have finished my stock of this I will be buying more of it.
I would have given it 4.5 stars but as half stars are not allowed I rounded it up. The only place I could really take marks off was that I would like it in larger skeins but that is not a criticism of the actual yarn just the way it is sold.

I have a small knitting business knitting baby clothes and other bits and I use this brand of yarn for all of my projects. I absolutely love it and I am always getting compliments from customers on the quality of the yarn. This particular dk weighted yarn is perfect for the autumn/ winter baby clothes that I knit. It’s so soft and easy to work with, couldn’t recommend it enough. Also the choice of colours are beautiful!

I’m not a knitter nor do I crochet!
I’m a weaver and always on the look out for natural yarns in a wide variety of colours.
I stumbled across Hobbii and fell in love with the 8/8 cotton yarn - what a beautiful array of colours, it was hard to stick to my original palette. Fantastically quick service, I hardlyhard time to drool and be impatient!
Will definitely be back for more - just don’t tell my husband!

My grandchildren wanted a rainbow blanket, after searching for various colours, I came across hobbi rainbow 8/8 .. the colour choice is amazing, the Cottonsoft natural yarn is a joy to work with , I purchased all colours that were available, I would recommend over and over again, for colour choice, speed of delivery and amazing customer service, wouldn’t buy anywhere else now
