Sara's Yarn Review : "When I was first shown this yarn I wasn’t sure it would be for me. Some cotton blend yarns can be a bit stringy and I thought this may be one. How wrong I was! A blend of 60% cotton and 40% acrylic it feels almost velvety not like string at all! I am crocheting with it currently and it feels fabulous. The colours are incredible, the yarn is almost saturated with dye, making the colours dense.".]
