Colorful, soft, sturdy, or delicate—for cuddly toys or for making your own accessories. You’ll find the widest selection and best quality Crochet Yarns at Yarnplaza! A while back, we had a number of bloggers test our Crochet Yarns. After a thorough analysis, three winners emerged. We’re sharing the results with you!
We asked the bloggers to rate the yarns while testing them. In other words: on a scale of 1 to 5, how many Yarnplaza balls would a Crochet Cotton yarn receive? After tallying all the points, we concluded that there are three favorites. Find out which ones they are here!
One of the bestsellers in our online store also happens to be a favorite among many crocheters. Yarnplaza often uses Phil Coton 3 for the free Crochet Patterns we offer on our blog. Do you remember those cheerful phone cases or the bike bell?
"Out of all ten skeins, Phildar Phil Coton 3 really stood out to me. I’ve been using this yarn a lot for my cuddly toys, and it’s definitely one of my favorites. It’s a joy to crochet with—the strand doesn’t split, it feels soft, and it has a beautiful sheen. It’s available in a wide variety of colors, all of which are gorgeous. It’s especially well-suited for crocheting cuddly toys and Amigurumi. This yarn also pairs well with Catania, Capri, and Cotone.” — Blogger Herriët from Stipenhaak.
Cotton Mix 80 is the ideal basic yarn—thick and strong because it’s made of cotton and Acrylic. Despite its somewhat sturdy texture, the yarn feels pleasant and soft to the touch. Yarnplaza’s popular summer tablecloth and the crocheted butterflies are also made with Cotton Mix 80.
"My absolute favorite is Lana Grossa 80. This yarn is my top pick! It’s a beautiful yarn for making blankets. I’ve even made small doilies with it, but a warm scarf would also turn out great with this yarn. A perfect Winter Yarn!" — Blogger Claire van Hakenenmeer.
"A wonderfully thick yarn that feels very soft. I used it to make a cowl with 3 large stars. It's a beautiful yarn that's very easy to crochet with. It hardly splits at all. It has a subtle, light sheen." — Blogger Saskia van Bijsaarenmien.
Cotton Mix 130 is perfect for crocheting cuddly toys, but you can also use it to knit. How about making some cute farm animals? This blended yarn (Acrylic and Cotton) is thinner than Mix 80 and a great choice for beginner crocheters.
"I find Lana Grossa Cotton Mix 130 to be a surprisingly lovely yarn, and it’s my top pick. It seems like it would be wonderful for crocheting clothes, and I definitely want to use this yarn more often for my crochet projects. I highly recommend Cotton Mix 130 and would recommend it to everyone!" — Blogger Leonie from Alshakenjeliefis.
