(3 Pack) Lion Brand Yarn Coboo Bamboo Yarn, Olive

I love knitting projects with it as it is so inexpensive, offers great color choices, the finished product looks and feels so very nice with its sheen, knitting doesn’t have to be a luxury hobby. It doesn’t split just like any other cotton yarn, it’s not a quality issue, it’s that most cotton yarns not matter how expensive have this splitting behavior that is a little annoying to get used to but over time you get a hang of it how to work with it best.

Lion brand Coboo yarn is the best yarn to crochet clothes. It is very soft and durable because is made from bamboo. The yarn still looks new after several washing. It really feels like a light weighted yarn when worn. Works well and the strength is amazing. I love the color choices. Definitely a value for the money. The cake looks small but in reality the amount of yarn for the price.

Love this yarn. It doesn’t split and it’s a soft cotton. A #3 so a little thinner than 4 ply which I like

The bayberry (like a seafoam green, just slightly darker) is the Coboo Yarn I used. The color was nicer than expected. I am a beginning crochet person, but it was easy to work with and looks nice and smooth. You do have to make the stitches loose so you can do the next row (not very much flex/spring to this sort of yarn - similar to cotton only, but not as squeaky on metal hook). I would buy this again. CON: the individual threads come apart easily so you must be careful when using. I had to redo several stitches in my project when I realized I had a string or two hanging out.

I’m working on a shawl with this yarn. I absolutely love it, it has a nice sheen and weight, it drapes well.It can be a bit « splitty », I started with a cheap hook, and switched to my trusty Clover hooks and it was day and night.

This yarn is a cotton plus bamboo. It is easy to work with, however, it is a bit splitty. It is much softer than most "cotton" yarns. I am making a cardigan out of it with a 4.5mm needle. I am also making tea cups out of it using a 2.5mm needle. Surprising, it is not difficult to use the small needle with this yarn and the tea cups are coming out with a nice firm form and a nice sheen.

Love the softness of this after its worked up but there are at least 2 things to be aware of...First...its pretty costly for what is in a ball, Second ... this yarn splits no matter what you do. I'm hoping that the end product is worth it in the softness factor. The colors are ok and work together well but the dye lots are vastly different so get as much as you need or more when you order. I also ordered off the lion brand website and their shipping times are extremely slow, more than 14 days to get the yarn! The cost savings however, are worth it at more than 2.50 per ball!

Very soft I will be purchasing much more of this yarn!!
