Caron All Day Cotton - 3 Pack of 173 Yards/3.52 oz Light Gray 100% Mercerized Cotton Yarn

Beautiful color! My 10 year old daughter is quickly learning how to crochet through online video tutorials. She enjoys working with this - she says it's easy to work with, but she's still getting used to it since she's had more practice with the acrylic and chunky types of yarn. She says this cotton yarn makes her chaining bigger, but she will practice more with it and figure it out! She made a potholder for her grandpa out of this yarn and next I'd like her to make me some washcloths for dishes!

I LOVE this yarn! It feels silky and the shade of green is beautiful. It has an antique feel when you look at it. I checked it against a variety of colors and it would blend with most colors. It’s especially pretty with a dark purple, like an eggplant type purple. It looks really good in a room with antique prints and furniture. I already ordered a second set so I can have it available. I used one skein to make custom sized dishcloths and I was able to make ten measuring approximately 3 1/2” by 4 1/2” from that one skein. There was just a tiny amount of yarn left over. I used a size H or 8 hook, which is the 5mm size, and did just a simple single crochet pattern. The tiny cloths are perfect for small hands or people with hand pain and they’re gorgeous in this color. The mercerized cotton should be washed and dried carefully. Washing instructions are included on the wrapper. Being able to make your own customized dishcloths makes this yarn an incredible value. I’m thinking about how many beautiful things I could make with it, like a summer blanket or a custom tote bag. I haven’t been able to crochet for decades due to a chronic illness which attacks my tendons and soft tissues, but I recently found a treatment which makes my pain more tolerable. I dug out my old crochet hooks and patterns from the 1970s and 1980s and began enjoying this yarn within a day after it arrived. I’m planning to enjoy it for years to come.

It is nice, soft cotton yarn that is easy to work with. The recommended knitting needle is a 7, but I have been using a size 8 to make baby booties, and they are coming out great.

Good for beginners

Very nice cotton yarn, although the Color in the add says “Mauve” when the actual color on the Label says “Grape Popsicle.” I actually like the color I got but the name needs changing on the site.

My new favorite cotton yarn! I love the stitch definition and the feel of this mercerized cotton. I didn't expect the mercerization process to affect the yarn this much, but in a good way.

Softer than most cotton. Made a mesh market bag with the cream doubled up for the handles to be thicker. Very easy to use.

I was expecting a yarn to crochet baby blankets. This is more like a cotton string to wrap boxes for mailing. I'm not returning them because I love the vibrant color. Who knows, maybe I will use it for gift package ribbon.
