About the Friends family
The colors of the yarns included in the Friends family are literally friends!

Have fun combining and matching them in all your projects.

I absolutely love this yarn. I made a beautiful cardigan using this yarn. It crochets easily and It’s really soft. Luckily for me it frogs well. I chose a pattern that starts from the top down, which I have never done before so with that and just missing stitches because I wasn’t keeping track of my stitches, I had to frog quite a few times. I loved it so much I had to order some other colors. I can’t wait to use the peach color one that I recently ordered. I can’t remember the name of it but it’s really pretty. I highly recommend this yarn.

This yarn is an absolute dream! I bought a bunch of colours, knowing that I'd have a new grandchild soon. The first item I made was a newborn cardigan and it crocheted beautifully. It's so easy to work with and is INCREDIBLY soft. The strands of cotton don't unwind from the strand of silk. It has a gorgeous sheen in the finished product and I'm so glad i bought as much as I did. My only complaint is that there aren't nearly enough colours. I want ALL the colours of the colour wheel!! I love it that much.

This yarn is so fun to work with. I crocheted a dress using the Eucalyptus colorway (which is darker, bluer, and richer that it looks online), and it was so easy to work with. The construction of the yarn means it doesn't split very easily (and also frogs painlessly). It has a nice texture from the ply but still glides smoothly. I do wish that this would come in a lighter weight, though, since the fabric this works up into is actually quite thick, while I'd expect a cotton and silk garment to be lighter.

WOW! I ordered this to try out for spring and summer knits and was blown away by how incredible it is. Seriously, it’s hard to believe it’s just cotton and silk because it’s just so bouncy and soft… especially after blocking. It’s going to be perfect for summer ganseys; but, it’d also be great for ruffles or shirring because of how well it drapes. I will DEFINITELY be ordering more in other colors!

Well well well, how do you describe pleasure, softness and luxurious...buy that yarn. I decided to make my third lanta throw with my first order I just received today. When I touched it, I had to use it right away. It looks like an old fashion cotton while being soft and I am sure very comfortable. Pictures to follow as I am putting everything else away to do that one. Love love love!
