CaronAll Day Cotton - 3 Pack of 173 Yards/3.52 oz Mauve 100% Mercerized Cotton Yarn

I ordered several packages of this yarn, half expecting the dye lots not to match, but they miraculously did.The yarn is wonderfully soft and delightful to work with. It has incredible stitch definition, if that is what you are looking for. It frogs easily, if you are like me and have to pull out row after row when you find a mistake. I had a very hard time finding the center pull and ended up with a lot of 'yarn guts' on about half the skeins.This yarn is 100% cotton but is lighter and has MUCH more drape than other cotton yarns. This is because of its chainette structure. This type of yarn, unlike many (most) cottons, is quite resistant to splitting. If you get splitting, try changing your hook or needles because it is almost certainly not the yarn. (Look at the yarn carefully and you'll see why.) I used Bates hooks/needles with not a single split and my sweater is already half finished.The price is great, too, although I did get mine in Deal Days. This works up like much more expensive yarn. It is mercerized, with lovely, discreet sheen.The color on this is a beautiful, soft blue that is almost periwinkle, but not quite. Just a hint of violet to the blue. I am working on an unstructured cardi and love the drape of this yarn and love the way the ribbed borders have a crisp look to them. When I finish, I'll come back here and add a photo.

This cotton is mercerized so it is nice and smooth on your fingers.The drape of finished products is very nice so it is pretty with garments as well as housewares.The yarn size does feel like a true 4 weight.It is cotton so it does get a bit splitty when using, making it better for knitting than crochet.The cotton is very sturdy and so it does not have much bounce meaning it can be hard on your hands so you will want to be kind to yourself when working on it.Overall, it works really well for the projects I have done, the stitch definition is really nice, so I will continue to use and use again.

Actual rating I'd say is 3.75. I enjoy the yarn itself is very soft and easy to work with. Breathable for wearable items and the colours are beautiful (though I wish there was a bigger selection). My issue? The factory knots. Some skeins have none, but one skein had 4 or 5 factory knots within the first HALF of the skein. There was one more really close to the end. Other skeins have had 3 or 4 total as well. With how small the skeins are you would think there wouldn't need to be so many.. Maybe one here and there. I absolutely hate weaving in ends just like most people, so needing to weave in more just because of factory knots really annoys me. I did a no-sew project where I would've only have to weave in ends from the beginning, where the skein ends, and where I finished each colour. Nope. Not including beginning and ends, I had to weave in 30 ends because of factory knots. Yes, I counted. I'll still order this yarn because it's better quality than other cotton I've used- I even have more on the way now and it's my 3rd time purchasing. But caron... You need to figure out those factory knots.I still recommend this yarn, just a fore warning.

Love this cotton yarn, very soft, love the colors and very easy to crochet with it

This three pack of yarn was a great value. It is 100% cotton, which makes it less fluffy and soft than other acrylic yards. I had to use a smaller needle then was recommended for this yarn because it is smaller and width. But regardless of that, it washes really well and doesn’t pill at all.

Used it for a bralette for summer and it's very soft! Minimal splitting too, only two tangles in the entire three pack. I'll be ordering other shades, but the black is so deep and pretty.This and the 24/7 cottons are my favorite, but the 24/7 is slightly slimmer. Fantastic working ability on hooks from 3m to 6m (what I used)

I love this cotton yarn. Easy to work with and has a nice feel to it. Occasionallly I run across a knotted area, but its easily fixed.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I wanted to try cotton yarn, since I mostly have worked with acrylic. I love the texture and ease of use. Perfect for my project and didn't fray at all. Will buy more!
