Bernat Handicrafter Cotton Yarn, Gauge 4 Medium Worsted, Swimming Pool

Beautiful yarn that I have been using to make farmhouse dish cloths with a teal border. Also, this cotton yarn feels so nice to work with.

I ordered this yarn because i ioved the pink and mint in it. What I received was a dark grey blue and grey colored yarb. I can't even find this color yarn at Yarnspirations. Anyhow, it's still nice yarn and my go too when crocheting kitchen and bathroom products. I love using cotton thread and yarn. I love getting the spools and larger skeins primarily because you have much fewer ends to crochet in. You can't go wrong with this brand.

I made a crochet scarf for my brother. I used the Bernat Handi Cotton BB Yarn in chocolate as the middle pattern. The brown sides were used with 24/7 LionBrand Cotton, chocolate. The Bernat yarn is dull in other words it does not have a sheen but as you can see from the visuals, the scarf looks good. The LionBrand yarn is mercerized so it has a bit of sheen. I think both yarns complement eachother.

I bought this to make dish cloths, and it is perfect for them. If I were making a cotton garment to wear I’m not certain the yarn would work. It has a slight stiffness to it that is perfect for scrubbing. It launders well, too.

But working with it, it's rather stiff. It's soft in the skein and after I've crocheted it, but it's very stiff to work with. I'm doing a pet bed with this yarn and alternating it with a kelly green and a lime green acrylic. The acrylic is so smooth to work. I'm glad that I didn't buy two, and I so rarely say that.Also, beginners might want to choose a different yarn. I've been crocheting for six months now, and I would have been very frustrated if I had chosen this as my first worsted weight to use.

Edited stars and review: second skein has tied together knots in the middle, center pull not easy to find out. Thats sad.Original reviewThe blue camo color is really pretty. It's color is between the two photos I've posted. The flash shows brighter blues than it is to the eye. The one without the flash is closer to the true color but dark.The knitting is still in progress and not washed/blocked. However it's used a full 573 yard skein and there were no knots in the yarn at all, no unspun bits or flaws. It's been great to knit with. I hope it will soften a bit when washed. Finding the center string to knit from the center of the skein was easy. Just like someone who knits or crochet knew what I would want. No gutting the skein to find it! Thank you!I'm using size 7 40" circular bamboo needles.

THE PHOTO FOR WATERFRONT IS ***^CORRECTED****Edit: as of 7/30/20, they have finally changed the picture on this!!!! YaYI’ve gotten this yarn in many colors and love the quality. When I ordered it looking at pinks, mint and white, when I opened it I’d gotten light greens and blues! I thought they’d sent the wrong one. NOPE. The label was correct and a web search showed that name to have blues and greens. At that point I read the reviews. It would appear that since the product was first listed it has had the wrong picture since there are multiple people who have included this problem in their reviews!!What.The.Hell?!?Just change the damn picture or offer the yarn pictured!!!I swore I took a pic before I returned it. If I find it, I’ll post it.

This cotton yarn is a decent option for making dish cloths and pot holders, but I would not recommend it for anything wearable. I like the colors, but they are a little lighter than the photo looks. Overall, a good yarn for utility applications and to practice new stitches.

I use this to crochet oven gloves, so have had several coloured cottens!

I have had several different colours as I crochet oven gloves!
