Let customers speak for us
I absolutely love this yarn. The sheen is beautiful; this gives a professional look to your work. It does not split like many cotton yarns. An absolute treasure!
This is a beautiful soft yarn with a lovely texture and sheen. I used the Cannoli Cream and Mocha Mousse shades which are beautiful. I can highly recommend this yarn.
Excellent shopping experience
Beautiful yarn.
I absolutely loved knitting with this Pure Egyptian Cotton! It was incredibly soft to work with, had beautiful stitch definition, and created such a polished finished fabric. I knit a summer top with it, and it's quickly become one of my favorite handmade pieces. Every time I wear it, I get compliments—not just on the design, but on how beautiful the yarn looks. It feels wonderful against the skin, and I'm already looking forward to using it again for future projects. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality cotton yarn.
This fiber is very nice to work with and I’m looking forward to knitting a summer tee!
So beautiful to work with. It is the perfect balance of softness and structure. No pilling at all, it feels like crocheting with a very thin but soft rope. I love the mercerized cotton giving it the sheen, making any project look elegant.
Very helpful, great to deal with when placing our opening order.
Great yarn and fast service!
Love the softness - started my poncho and looks great. I will be back for the next project! thanks, a great yarn with NO KNOTS!
Ordering online was easy and shipping was very timely.
I’m knitting a striped vest with three colors in the Luxury Egyptian cotton. It looks and feels wonderful.
I absolutely loved its texture. It has a beautiful natural sheen, a soft drape, and that organic look that makes every stitch appear delicate and handcrafted.
It's a cool, lightweight cotton that's so pleasant to knit with.
Had this on my list after someone mentioned it online and I LOVE it. great stitch definition and the fabric is super cozy. Very slippery though so I need to get some rougher needles for the next project. Would also love a true brown or taupe color
Looks and feels amazing. Cant wait to use it. Thx
