This is a lovely soft yarn. The color lengths are very long before changing in this color changing yarn. Keep that in mind when making smaller projects. The colors schemes are beautiful on this cotton. It feels slightly softer than rainbow 8/8

I just received my first order and I love it. It is very soft and I can't wait to start my project. Pretty similar in size with a cotton 8/8. The colors are soft too and perfect for a baby/kid blanket. More info to come ❤️

I am very pleased with the vibrancy of the colors and it was very easy to work with. Sometimes, the light to dark transitions were very short which was a bit if a pain given my project was a blanket/wrap.
The lower rating is because after following directions for washing (and drying it encased in an extra large laundry bag to boot to help protect it), I found that it sheds.
The shedding was very noticeable when first laying it out to make sure it laid flat and the pattern relaxed. So much so that I had to shake it out and vacuum after. Once dry, I haven't seen nearly as much shedding but I am wary.
The shedding surprised me as other Hobbi cottonss haven't done this in my experience. Just be aware of this possibility, especially if you are looking to gift, make clothes, etc.
Otherwise, I would recommend. It is vibrant and very soft especially after washing. It was easy to work with.

I purchased a few cakes to try it out. The very first cake had both ends wrapped together which has been a huge problem trying to work with it. The yarn also seems to split fairly easily. The colors are nice but I will not be purchasing this again due to all the issues trying to work with it. This yarn is also much thinner than it was described as. This is the first Hobbii yarn that I have been disappointed with.

The yarn is soft and fairly forgiving to frogging. I've used two of my skeins so far, and both have at least 5 knots each. As beautiful as this yarn is, I wouldn't order it again.
