Wow, I'm in love with this cotton yarn! I tried to cancel my order because I hadn't realized until AFTER I placed my order that is was #2 weight. I usually use #3 (DK) or #4 worsted. I've never been so happy that it was too late to cancel an order! It has a beautiful feel while crocheting and will be perfect for my amigurumi. I'm making the Willy Worm with this, so It might come out a little larger than the pattern calls for, but it's a joy to work with. VERY happy first time customer. Well worth the long delivery time from US customs to my home. Oddly enough delivery from Denmark to the US was super fast :)

I really love amigurumi and just bought a few books from Asian crafters who use sport weight yarn exclusively for their patterns. The only stores near me don't carry sport weight, so I had to order from Hobbii. I was so used to worsted weight acrylic that I was really nervous to make the switch. I am SO glad i did! This yarn is soft and absolutely gorgeous. I have used cotton yarn before, but this is definitely the softest. And if you buy the premade packs, the colors are already sorted for you. (I'm terrible at choosing colors that look good together, so I appreciate all the help I can get.)

WOW is all I can say of the Rainbow Cotton pack. The colours are as vibrant in person as they are on the screen, and the cotton is super soft, perfect for just about any project. If you love Amigurumi, this is the yarn for you! The value in these packs cannot be understated, you will not find such high quality cotton in a pack like this for such a great price anywhere else (I have looked!) I absolutely love how Hobbii has bundled these packs, it makes it so easy to collect so many vital colours all at once. If you are new to buying from Hobbii, you cannot go wrong with Rainbow Cotton!!

The color is amazing and the price is very beginner friendly. This set is good for any mix & match project. I ended up using all the yarns from one bag for a long-sleeved project.
I also had to purchase extra white cotton yarn for the ribbings and connecting the squares. But I'm happy with the result and the yarn.
I used a different brand for the white cotton yarn and it's noticeable how the white yarn picked up some tiny dots after washing and the colored ones are still looking new.

I adore the 8/8 so I ordered several bags of the 8/6 in color bag 9 for a dress I made for my granddaughter. The result is stunning! The colors are incredibly vibrant, the yarn crochets like a dream and is so easy to use. I can’t say enough good things about these yarns. They’re absolutely my go-to for cotton yarn.
