Actual and Factual
Let's start with the facts straight from their website!
Rainbow Cotton 8/8 is a heavy DK / lightly worsted weight yarn made of 100% cotton. This yarn is eco-friendly, soft, and breathable. Each ball has the "easy start" feature tab so you can center-pull without fighting the yarn.
The yarn is currently available in 40+ colors. Each skein is 82yd/75m in length and 1.7oz/50g in weight. The suggested hook size is 4.5mm and the suggested needles size is 4mm.
My Experience
I feel that this yarn is much closer to a category 4 weight than a category 3 as described on their website. I find it better to use a 5mm or 5.5mm hook over the label suggestions for me and my personal tension. Your choice of hook style or shape also matters because if it's too pointed at the tip, it can split your yarn; so look for rounded tips. The yarn is quite affordable and has become a staple in my stash.
My Favorite Projects for This Yarn
When using this yarn I believe it works beautifully in blankets, home goods, clothing, and more.
