Aran Mercerised Cotton Yarn by Hobby Store - Sky Blue - 443

Firstly, let's all give a round of applause and vote of thanks to the creators of this wonderful yarn. It's lustrous, it's smooth, it's just glowing with loveliness. Thanks to the many fine silky plys it gives tear-jerkingly beautiful stitch definition, and as it's 100% cotton, we can expect our work to continue looking fabulous over time. The range of colours is delightful, and this supercool barely-there blue is giving cute winter accessory vibes. It flows sweetly over the hook, neither too grippy nor too slippy. Okay, I am getting a little splitting, and if it happens, I'm not finding it all that easy to correct (kotton 4 ply, for example, splits a lot, but a little frogging and tugging and everything is perfectly back in place, but with this yarn I'm struggling to fix the errant plys - maybe I'll get the hang of it). And be aware, this yarn is dense. Large items made from it are going to be heavy. You'd expect that from any cotton, but this is about as unfluffy as a cotton yarn can be. That's why it looks so pretty. It's going to make wonderfully sturdy and beautiful bags and straps, home decor items of all kinds, mesh tops, bucket hats etc, but maybe not soft and squishy baby blankets. Anyway, whatever you make with this yarn, you can be sure it's going to look absolutely gorgeous.
