Just received my first order of Twister as I was keen to try making some Summer and Spring clothing with recently experimenting with lacy garments. Very pleased with the softness of this yarn and the colours are simply gorgeous!
Was slightly concerned at first as it looked a bit thinner than I had expected, but I only needed to downsize my hook from a 4mm to a 3.5mm and it's working out really well! I do recommend if you're wanting to use single strand choose a pattern that works several stitches into different spaces and chains along the row so they get reinforced and this strengthens the overall fabric and gives it more texture and definition, so then you'll get more structure in your work.
Thanks again Hobbii for another great quality yarn! Love the blend of cotton and acrylic together to help the colour to come through more saturated and will be longer lasting as well, very well designed and reliable yarn. Thank you! :)

I decided to knit myself a sweater out of Twister and a coordinating Twister solid color that matches the solid color at one end of the gradient. The color match is absolutely perfect. My pattern is a seamless top down sweater, and I knit my sleeves and button bands in the solid. I know that I switched from the regular Twister to the matching solid at the bottom of the yoke, but the switch from one to the other is completely invisible. If I hadn’t knit it myself, I could not have found the switch, and I’ve got a very sensitive eye for color.

It’s a low twist yarn, so beginners may find it a little tricky to not split the yarn, but I think it’s pretty easy to get the hang of. Nice soft hand, excellent drape. It straddles the line between sport and fingering and can be knit up as either, though obviously bigger needles will give you a more fluid, drapey fabric where smaller ones will give you more structure.

Such lovely yarns, very soft !! I ordered some of the Twister Solids to edge the Big Twister yarn colors. I really appreciated the fact that they showed the color compatability using the twister solids with the bigger twister yarn. I'm making a few of the granny cardigans in various colors...I got the pattern on Hobbii's site..under pattern suggestions for the Twister yarn ..very easy and fast pattern and should be very cute when I get finished... I'm making cardigans for both my Aunt and cousin to take and wear this September when they take a trip to Ireland, and one for my Dad's wife to throw on , and lastly I will also make one for myself !! Very happy with the drape and softness of this yarn... I love the solid colors too..I got the dark grey, black, and lilac colors... So very pleased with this yarn, and the customer service will definitely buy again and again from Hobbii !! Lovely yarns !!

I bought several of theses cakes in various colors for Christmas gifts. I mainly make Amigirumi and all their bits and bobs, and I ADORE this yarn. I so far have finished a Goose for my "Cousin-in-law" and am working on a dragon for my cousin. Other reviewers have remarked on the silkiness of the yarn and that is 100% true, it is silky and soft and delightful to work with. In addition when worked up into a creature, or the accessories that often come with some Amigirumi it is also very solid and strong. While finer than expected (I ended up using my 2mm rather than my usual 2.75mm hook) that only adds to the magic for me, as it gives more detail and allows for more precision in my work. The yarn occasionally splits, but it isn't so bad as to make it unusable or even something to remark on in more than passing.
