I'm Mandy from New Zealand.
I decided to make a Korowai (Maori Cloak) for my granddaughter. This cloak is for a child so I started searching for some strong soft cotton here in NEW Zealand but couldn't find any. I had subscribed to hobbii only a few months earlier. Checked out the website and ordered 200 balls of white cotton. I took a risk in ordering the cotton but was delighted to say the least, the cotton was so soft and just what I needed. The service I received was fantastic from the start of my order to when I received it a week later. The prompt deliver of the 200 balls was fabulous. Thank you. !!!
I will be ordering again.

Love love the hobbit 8/4 cotton yarn! Perfect on a 2.5mm crochet hook to make some pretend play sweets. Ive made Macroons, ice cream, biscuits, milkshake and more Macroons. I did find some inconsistency with yarn thickness of various colour. I made 3 Macroons from the 8/4 in 3 different colours with each Macroons end results of Different sizes. However, I ended up making same colour sets that are just gorgeous in this yarn.

I was so excited to open my package of gorgeousness! The colours are beautiful, I can’t wait to play around with them and choose combinations for amigurumis. The yarn is soft and I absolutely love the “easy start” pull - it’s little details like this that make a difference! The customer service is excellent and I will definitely be ordering from Hobbii in the future! The shipping from Denmark to Canada was fast.

I am thrilled with the quality and the price of this yarn! The colors are vibrant and it's easy to work with. It's lightweight making it perfect for decorative items as well as for shawls and afghans. I'm using it for keepsake wedding afghans and absolutely LOVE IT. I stumbled on Hobbii purely by accident, and I'm glad I did! I will definitely be ordering more yarn. Thanks for supplying a great product at a great price!

I like how soft this cotton yarn feels opossed to the peaches and cream brand. Im glad i made the order, im planning on making a baby blanket. The blanket is being made for a summer baby, so this yarn is perfect because it doesnt have the thickness of a worsted weight yarn that im used to using when making blankets, i really like how its turning out as im crocheting the pattern. Looks and feels great. Thanks hobii..
