Exceeded expectations
I was skeptical about ordering yarn online without feeling it first, but this exceeded my expectations. The twist is tight, preventing fraying, and the cotton-linen mix breathes well. Perfect for my upcoming summer collection.

Great texture, slightly stiff at first
The quality is excellent and the braiding is very consistent. It feels a bit stiff right out of the skein, but after washing the finished project, it softened up nicely while retaining its structure. Highly recommend for basketweave patterns.

Durable and reliable
As someone who crochets bags for a living, finding a yarn that is both durable and aesthetically pleasing is key. This Xiaosen yarn checks all the boxes. The hand-braided nature means there are no weak spots, and my customers love the feel.

Beautiful natural finish
The linen content adds such a lovely character to the yarn. I made a set of coasters and a small pouch. The colors are earthy and true to the photos. It's a joy to work with and doesn't split easily despite being multi-strand.

Perfect for sturdy tote bags
I used this yarn to make a summer market bag and the result is fantastic. The 8-strand braid holds its shape incredibly well, and the cotton-linen blend gives it a rustic yet refined look. It doesn't stretch out even when holding heavy groceries.

Good value for handmade projects
I bought five skeins for a large beach bag. The consistency between skeins was good. It works up quickly due to the thickness of the 8 strands. My only minor critique is that I wish it came in a few more pastel shades.
Q: What is the approximate yardage in one 50g skein?
A: Each 50-gram skein contains approximately 120 meters (about 131 yards) of yarn. Please note that slight variations may occur due to the hand-braided nature of the product.
Q: Is this yarn suitable for making items that will hold heavy weight, like a grocery bag?
A: Yes, absolutely. The 8-strand hand-braided construction combined with the cotton-linen blend provides excellent tensile strength and structure, making it ideal for heavy-duty tote bags and market baskets.
Q: Does this yarn bleed color when washed?
A: Our Xiaosen yarn undergoes a rigorous dyeing process to ensure high color fastness. While we always recommend hand washing in cold water for the first wash to be safe, significant bleeding is not expected.
Q: How should I store unused skeins to prevent damage?
A: Store your unused skeins in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and fiber integrity. Using a breathable cotton bag or container is recommended to protect against dust and moths.
Q: Can I use a knitting needle instead of a crochet hook with this yarn?
A: Yes, you can certainly knit with this yarn. We recommend using knitting needles sized between 4.0mm and 5.0mm to achieve a fabric that is neither too loose nor too tight, depending on your tension.
