Katia Capri "A really lovely yarn. It’s slightly stiffer than similar yarns in this category, but it looks great and is a pleasure to crochet with—perhaps precisely because it feels a little firm. Compared to all the other yarns in this category, it offers excellent value for the price and is my absolute favorite!"
Phildar Phil Coton 3 "This is also a really nice yarn. It stays in great condition, even if you unravel it and start over often."
SMC Catania "This is another very nice yarn. It has a beautiful color and a gorgeous sheen."
Lana Grossa Cotone"This yarn is also a pleasure to crochet with and is of excellent quality."
Rico Aran It frays a bit faster than other yarns in the same category, but I've noticed that it really depends on the Crochet Hook. Still, I'm going with a different yarn.
Drops Paris My favorite yarn in the size 4/5 Crochet Hook category, but it doesn't quite get five stars because I hear a lot of people complaining that it splits easily. The same advice applies here: try a different Crochet Hook. You'll definitely notice the difference.
Lana Grossa 80 It's a very nice yarn, but since it's quite matte, it's not my favorite. Nevertheless, it's pleasant to crochet with and feels very soft.
Phildar Aviso So soft! That’s the only reason I wanted it. I crocheted a blanket with it, but because of its thickness, it’s a little stiff. Maybe using a larger Crochet Hook than the one listed on the package would give a better result in that regard. It still looks great, even after being unraveled and re-crocheted many times!
Lana Grossa 130 Fine, but it splits easily. Just like with the other yarns, using a different Crochet Hook might be the solution. This yarn also feels very soft!
Rico Essentials Cotton A beautiful yarn and a strong competitor to all other yarns in the same category. I once crocheted a little blanket with it, and it’s been used a lot. It still looks really nice.
Best Crochet Yarn & Crochet Hook
"In the end, I came to the conclusion that Katia Capri is my favorite cotton yarn and the Clover Amour Crochet Hook is my favorite Crochet Hook. And that’s even though I always work a lot with Phildar Cotton 3 and DROPS Paris—and only use Lana Grossa Soft Grip Crochet Hooks—so I’d thought beforehand that I’d go with those. But I didn’t! I really didn’t like the Prym Crochet Hook; I did like the others, but they just didn’t quite measure up to the Clover Crochet Hook!"
"For my final project, I chose a combination of my two favorites: Katia Capri and Phildar Cotton 3. I made a pencil case shaped like a fox. It’s actually a pattern for a kind of pajama cushion, but with this yarn it turned out smaller, so I made a pencil case instead!" Opinions on crochet yarns are divided; last week, Alshakenjeliefis chose Lana Grossa Cotton Mix 30. The Clover Amour appears to be the absolute favorite among Crochet Hooks. Which ball do you order most often from Yarnplaza?
