We really just cannot get enough of our fantastic Friends Cotton 8/8.
Cotton is a great, strong, durable, breathable, absorbent, and lightweight natural fiber. Friends Cotton 8/8 has no less than all these characteristics and it is made out of 8 threads spun together.
All the shades have been thoughtfully selected to create a complete range that spans from bright to pastel and darker colors.
The whole range comes with our “easy start” pull-out tab, making it much handier to find the beginning of your skein.
This fiber is also easy to take care of, making Friends Cotton 8/8 so versatile that you can craft anything with it. Need some inspiration? We recommend dishcloths, pot holders, totes, and rugs for your house. It will be suitable for any kind of garment for both babies, children, and adults. And let’s not forget stuffed toys, amigurumi, and cute animals. Cotton has a great stitch definition and will work amazingly well with textured stitches.
If that all was not enough already, another great thing about our Friends cotton yarns is that they are vegan-dyed.
Aren’t you already in love with Friends Cotton 8/8?
The yarn is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified (no. 2276-367). Find more information about the certification at: https://www.oeko-tex.com/en/
About the Friends family
The colors of the yarns included in the Friends family are literally friends!
This means the color numbers correspond to the same color across the different Friends yarns. If you order the same color number from two different Friends yarns, they will match. Please note that there can be slight differences in the shades from fiber to fiber.
Have fun combining and matching them in all your projects.

After falling in love with amigurumi and watching endless videos on tips and tricks, I bought a boatload of this cotton (and Rainbow) in various colors to make the characters from the pattern books I bought. It came highly recommended by several influencers. It really was the reason I started buying from Hobbii. I think it is fantastic and I especially love the color variety between the two lines. I can pretty much match any project. I would say it definitely lived up to all the hype, except I found it a little splitty using a 3mm crochet hook to get the tight stitches at first. This minor issue resolved itself after some practice. I plan to buy again and again. I will post a picture of my first Friends project.

This turned out to be a thicker yarn than I was anticipating. I have a hard hard time, understanding, yarn weights in general. When I was reading the description of this, I expected a weight three yarn, but I would say this is more like a weight 4/worsted weight. I would compare it to Michael’s loops and threads classic acrylic or hobby lobby I love this yarn acrylic. The thickness is about the same. Aside from being a little heavier than anticipated, this is fantastic! It is soft and easy to work with. I am not a huge fan of cotton, it tends to be on the side, but that could not be further from the case with this! This is now my go to brand of cotton yarn forever.

You must try this yarn!! I usually buy the rainbow cotton 8/4, and I love that so much, that I never thought I would get anything else. However, I really want to make a cardigan, and I would prefer yarn that is a bit thicker so it can be a warmer piece. Well, the friends cotton 8/8 IS thicker, and the softest yarn I've ever felt. It feels so good on my face. Lol. I bought the color called Turkish Blue, and it must be popular, because I tried adding another 22 skeins to my cart to order, and it was sold out. The color itself matches the picture exactly, and it's such a beautiful color that I can't wait to order more.

The most softest cotton I have ever used!! I made a sweater out of extended half double crochet stitches and the drape was absolutely wonderful. I literally can't help but stare at my work for ages. My only gripe is that they only sell it in 50g skeins so if you make a larger project you're going to have to do a lot of joins or weave in a lot of ends. It also has the easy start tab on the centre pull and i think out of 20+ skeins I have only ever had one prolapse. Otherwise, it pulls out so beautifully and smoothly I have no idea how they do it.
It's definitely worth it, 10/10 would recommend.

This is the best cotton yarn I've worked with! It's very soft and feels nice on skin, versus how many cotton yarns feel scratchy. The fibers stay together very well, and the yarn is very strong! The colors are very true to the pictures. I am working on clothing in some pride colors, and the consistency in colors is a huge lifesaver! I also love the easy start, and how it can pull through the middle. It saves me a lot of time from trying to detangle yarn.
Overall, it's some of the best yarn I've used! Have bought it twice now, and will definitely be getting more in the future.
