Baby Cotton Organic Midi is our fabulous GOTS-certified Baby Cotton, just in a slightly thicker version. Midi is equivalent to an 8/6 cotton, a really good, versatile thickness, that can be crocheted or knit on a US size 4-6 needle or a size E-G hook (3,5-4 mm).
The Baby Cotton Organic line is made from 100% pure, fabulous yarn quality in a league of its own. It is spun from the finest Egyptian cotton fibers, it is environmentally friendly produced just for Hobbii and it is vegan.
Of all the cotton types, Egyptian cotton is one of the most exclusive ones. It’s famous for being extra durable and soft. The long, exclusive cotton fibers are extra luxurious and are used for the finest cotton products around the world.
The organic cotton in Baby Cotton Organic Midi is grown with care and is exclusively picked by hand when harvested. That way, the fibers are harvested at the optimum time when the plant is mature and the fibers have had enough time to fully develop.
The gentle picking also ensures that the fibers keep their volume, resilience, and length. It’s resulted in one of the most fabulous cotton yarns we’ve had in our hands for a long time.
P.S. If you’re looking for a cotton yarn that hasn’t been colored at all, you can find it in color no. 15, which is completely raw and natural. But take note that the color may vary slightly more than usual from batch to batch.
The entire Baby Cotton Organic line is GOTS certified (no. ICEA-TX-273) which is your guarantee that the yarn has been produced with thought and respect for the environment - and with no chemical pesticides and artificial fertilizer.
About GOTS
The GOTS certification is an internationally recognized standard, which is used for the environmentally friendly and socially responsible production of ecological textiles. It stands for very high demands in all parts of the supply chain, from when the raw goods are harvested, to you having the finished product on your needles.

Very nice cotton yarn--in between fingering and #4, I crocheted a diamond pattern baby blanket with it. It has a nice, heavy drape. It is soft, smooth to the touch even before laundering. Easy to work with. There were a few knots that I would have rather not encountered where the yarn was tied together. Minimal splitting. I wish there was an option on Hobbi to be able to order a single skein without paying $7+ for shipping. I would have liked to have one more skein, but too expensive to order just one. Maybe Hobbi could add an option of free shipping on any order to their point store?

This yarn is very soft, and easy to work with. I ordered multiple colors, and all colors are very accurate to the pictures on the website. It's a bit thicker than the cotton 8/4, of course. I used a 4mm hook for my projects using this yarn. I think it was the best hook to use with this. I highly recommend this yarn for any wearable item you want to make.

I’m a beginner crocheter. I made baby blanket, lovey blanket, booties, beanie and scratch mitts for my grandson. Nice weight, very soft yarn and easy to work with. I washed the items in cold water on gentle (blanket in laundry bag) and laid flat to dry with excellent results. Delivery quicker than expected. I would purchase again.

This yarn is very soft and doesn’t split at all! I used colour 1, which is a warm toned white, and fell in love with it. I used two strands together and a 6 mm hook to crochet a dress based on “The jazzy granny sweater” pattern. This is my favourite yarn yet.

I used this yarn to make a newborn woodland pixie bonnet. It worked up very smoothly. There was no splitting. It’s durable too. The end item was soft to the touch and squishy in the hand. I also made a stuffed cow toy for the baby, with the left overs.
