golo Crochet Thread Yarns for Hand Knitting Gray Coffee 6-698

This is the highest quality cotton and finest spinning I have ever seen in cotton crochet thread, plus the colors are absolutely stunning, much better than the photos can show. The sheen on the surface is not something that is lost when the finished piece is washed and blocked, and is more than just the way the cotton was treated, but from the cotton itself.I have been crocheting with thread for many decades, exploring the many kinds manufactured and evaluating them for the pleasure of working with them and for how they perform in the finished piece. This is a cherished discovery. I have bought a supply of several colors for projects and cannot bring myself to store the yarn away until I begin the project. I look at it in different types of daylight and artificial light to admire the colors and have made swatches to try different stitches and brands /sizes of needles. It is an absolute dream that has brought new life to my needlework and made me fall in love with crochet all over again.I am sure I will end up buying many more colors and dreaming of many more projects. I started out with a single ball just as a trial. Go ahead and treat yourself to one as a sample.

This thread thickness is between a 10 and 20..it is very easy to work with and has a beautiful sheen. I will use it for making doilies that are very large, so in that way they will be a good regular size of 12-15 inches.I have worked with size 20 thread, but golo is much easier and slightly much thicker..so no more size 20.I really do like this thread...and wish it was really a size 10... I would buy one of each color!!!!

I like the way the color changes from one to the next in a very hand-dyed fashion. It’s not an even change—it’s a bit splotchy, but I enjoy that. It might not be to everyone’s taste, though.This thread does seem finer than a size 10 crochet thread. I would agree with those who say it’s more like a perle thread. You don’t notice it at first, but you do when you work with it. It is limper, which would actually make it good for items like scarves.I am a little disappointed with one of the colors I got, D107. Although the label has the correct stock ID, the color I received has absolutely no blue in it. See my first two images for reference. (First image is my photo, the second is the seller’s).The next two images, Peacock Green, are the same item as well, except in mine the color begins with gold/maroon, whereas the seller’s photo begins with green. But mine does have green further down the thread, so I know it’s the same item.The last four images, D203 and Silver Pink, are just images of the item received plus that item in the seller’s photo.BTW, yes, these have 250 yards and Aunt Lydia’s has 300. That is 5/6 the length, and yes, at first glance Aunt Lydia’s looks a lot bigger, but let’s get real here: Aunt Lydia’s uses much bigger cardboard tubes! If Aunt Lydia’s used the same size interior cardboard tubes as golo did, its size difference wouldn’t be as dramatic. Apparently I need to explain this because visually the size difference raises questions in some people’s minds.

Good for tatting or crochet. Colors are lovely. Love this brand of thread. I have made lace in crochet and tatting with this brand of thread and it has been lovely.

I bought this thread for lace tatting. I had issues with some brands where it was hard to flip the tension and I’d break the thread, but this is just smooth enough to avoid all of that. The lavender violet (663) is a really close match to Aunt Lydia’s wood violet color. The main difference is that the thread is a little thinner, so your pieces are likely to turn out slightly smaller with this brand. I’m ok with this for lace though.

Beautiful thread for my project

Crocheting

I have ordered several times in different colors and the texture is nice. Have not encountered any knots while crocheting. Very smooth and silky quality. I like the color choices even if it's a little pricier than the box store threads.

Mi è arrivato un gomitolo rosso anziché color lavanda.Non lo rendo perché mi piace e lo userò lo stesso, ma cosa dovrei fare per avere il color lavanda con la certezza di averlo di quel colore? Grazie
