Utopia Crafts Re-Cotton Knitting Yarn, 5X 100g (Viola Purple)

Love this yarn. The color is sooo nice, such a lovely baby blue. It’s so easy to use, and has stayed good quality. Wouldn’t say it’s thick because of the strand type is thin but it’s good for my project of a cardigan and is soft and comfortable to wear.

Lovely good quality cotton yarn to work with, great value for money.

Lovely wool, good price, ok shade but not what I ordered. The image on the description is much more vibrant and warm than the wool I received, which was much cooler and in some lights looked grey.

Great quality yarn, perfect for my crochet bag. Love the colour.I've used this yarn several times now in different colours and I've been very pleased with them all.

Really nice quality yarn. I am obsessed and I think this will be my go to yarn going forward for my crochet projects. Be carefull, it is not beginner friendly yarn, as it can split a bit so once you are more confident it should be okay. It is not a soft fluffy yarn, but a strong "sweatshirt" like yarn as it is cotton. Washed really well.The light blue colour is actually a gorgeous mint colour, actually I personally didn't mind it. Look at the photos. I hope they will come up with a color changing ombre yarn in this quality soon

Very easy to work with it and look so beautiful and neat

I have just started my project: a gansey for myself, and this yarn is really lovely to work with. It is durable and solid (it will not break when casting on), and super soft and nice at the touch when holding it to your chin’s skin, not scratchy at all, as I find some other yarns. The composition of 80% recycled cotton and 20% recycled polyester could not be better for the planet and to assuage my consumer guilt. I will be buying a lot more of this if they have a suitable colour range, so far I like the cream, dark grey and green, and I’ll check out the reds too. The value for money is really unbelievable.Only negative comment is that I followed the advice on the label which recommends using needles 5-6mm, and that was a brief disaster: the fabric was too loose and floppy and I did not like it, it appeared almost as lace.Instead, I used 3.75mm on rib and 4.5mm on the body of my sweater and that was a lot better. But I guess 4mm or 4.25mm for the body would probably have been even better. BEWARE, as that would definitely change the recommended tension.Since I am still knitting my project and I have not yet wet blocked it or washed it (the label recommends 30 degree wash), I really have no way of knowing how it will looks after several washes, but since it is already recycled, I hope it will stand well to being washed regularly.

I love a good recycled yarn and work exclusively with natural materials. So I thought I'd give this yarn a try. I don't normally buy online because I can't feel it or check dye lots but I figured since it was all packaged together it would be the same dye lot and considering what it's intended purpose was I could live with a rougher cotton. When it arrived I checked that all the yarn was labeled as being the same colour and dye lot and began working the project with it...These balls are NOT the same dye lot like they claim because they are distinctly different shades and have created distinct stripes in my work! I would not buy this again and would not recommend it if you need more than one ball for a single project as it's incorrectly and misleadingly labeled. I'm very disappointed. I did not want stripes!
