Actual and Factual
Let's start with the facts straight from their website! Rainbow cotton yarn is described as a fingering weight. Rainbow Deluxe is described as a super fine weight.
Hobbii also offers a blend of cotton & polyester for the glitter subset; I will not discuss the glitter yarn in this article.
Rainbow Cotton is 175yds/160m in length and 1.75oz/50g in weight. Rainbow Deluxe(Turkish) is 186yds/170m in length and 1.75oz/50g in weight. Both are recommended for use with 2.5mm-3.5mm needles or hooks.
My Experience
The 8/4 yarns are versatile for many projects. Since it is constructed of natural fibers, it is a great choice for eco-conscious crafters and/or their recipients. Cotton has many benefits such as the following:
Hypoallergenic
Lightweight yet durable
Washer and dryer machine friendly
My Favorite Projects for This Yarn
I have used these yarns for baby clothes and dishcloths. Its durability and absorbency make it a perfect choice for projects that need to stand the test of time, spills, and multitudes of laundry days. Here are some projects from Hobbii using the Rainbow Cotton & Deluxe yarns:
