We really just cannot get enough of our fantastic Friends Cotton 8/4.
Cotton is a great, strong, durable, breathable, absorbent, and lightweight natural fiber. Friends Cotton 8/4 has no less than all these characteristics and it is made out of 4 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 8/4 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 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 8/4?
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.

Making a dress for my granddaughter and sweater for my daughter. I have seen the yarn reviewed, and in tutorials. I got my hands on it from a destash sale. I love the softness, and yaradge of the skeins. I was able to order coordinating colors for the dress, and extra yarn. Shipping was quick, both packages arrived together. I was blessed to catch the “ free shipping, so it was a great time to buy. The Happy Place made me nervous because it a new dyer and I wasn’t sure how skeins would match. Amazingly, I can’t tell. I will mix the skeins to bring it all together. Toni’s cotton/wool blend is soft and a dream to work with. The skeins are generous, there will definitely be a matching hat. Thanks Hobbii. I must check your patterns, I’m sure there’s something for me.

My oh my, what should I praise first.. quality, feel, color, the list can go on. But right down to it, I'm picky. I have tried a bunch of stores here in the states and I really can't find anything close for the amount that Hobbii has it for. The quality is amazing. The feel ... I'm just amazed that there is no fiber flying in the air and my nose itching from it. And it doesn't catch on my terrible dry skin, which is such a plus. Color is amazing. Don't get put off from the size I always go by yards or meters. Hobbii is awesome I just got my second order and thinking about ordering again right off!

I'm a fan! This is great for amigurumi! It was suggested to me by a designer, and after seeing what she made with it, I knew it would be perfect! I'm excited to make more with it. It's so smooth and uniform. Way better than what I can get at stores in my area (looking at you Lily sugar and cream). The price is amazing, and hobbii ships to the US so quickly! To be honest, I wouldn't mind buying yarn from hobbii exclusively. They've never disappointed over the few years I've been ordering from them. Thanks Hobbii!

I was nervous about ordering from a new unfamiliar company, but the free shipping and sale helped. I researched and saw that the company is legit, so decided to try this cotton yarn. I ABSOLUTELY love IT!! It came super fast in the mail, and I hurried and tried a motif that is actually an afghan motif, but I want to make table runners out of this sock yarn. It is awesome to work with !! I will definitely be ordering again in the future!! I used a "D" hook and it is super simple to use!

Very happy with this yarn overall. The yarn is soft, works well, wears well, and love the variety of colors available. The skeins seem small but have more yardage than I expected- I can knit a summer blouse on around 4 skeins. However, I have found some breaks and inconsistent color in several skeins, such as lengths of yellow staining in light purple yarn, which is quite noticeable. Still worth it for the price/variety/color, but I would like to see a little more quality control.
