Great quality but slightly stiff at first
The thread is high quality and the color is exactly as pictured. It feels a bit stiff out of the ball, but softens nicely after the first wash.

Excellent for beginners
As someone new to crochet, this thread was easy to work with. It doesn't split easily when using a 1.5mm hook, which saved me a lot of frustration.

Perfect for structured bags
This yarn holds its shape incredibly well. I made a tote bag and it stands up on its own without needing a lining. The 12-strand twist is very consistent.

Good value for money
Solid yarn for the price. The extra volume claim seems accurate as the ball is quite dense. My only wish is that they offered more pastel colors.

Sturdy and durable
I've been using this for summer bags and they handle heavy groceries without stretching out. The linen component really adds to the durability.

Love the cotton-linen mix
The blend gives a beautiful rustic look to my projects. 150g goes a long way; I finished a medium-sized market bag with just one ball.
Q: What is the best hook size to use for a tight weave?
A: For a tight, sturdy weave ideal for bags, we recommend using a 1.5mm hook. If you prefer a slightly more flexible fabric, a 2.0mm hook works well too.
Q: Does this yarn come in variegated colors?
A: Currently, this specific 12-strand line is available in solid colors only. We do have other product lines that feature variegated options if you are interested.
Q: Can I machine wash items made with this yarn?
A: We recommend hand washing in cold water to maintain the shape and texture of your crocheted items. Machine washing may cause slight shrinking or distortion due to the linen content.
Q: How many yards or meters are in one 150g ball?
A: One 150g ball of Xiaosen 12-strand thread contains approximately 280 meters (about 306 yards) of yarn, though this can vary slightly by color dye lot.
Q: Is this yarn suitable for making clothing items like tops?
A: While primarily designed for bags due to its structure, it can be used for lightweight summer tops if you prefer a stiffer, textured fabric. However, it may feel less soft against the skin compared to pure cotton yarns.
