Comments about Valley Yarns Valley Cotton 5/2:
I used this 5/2 cotton for a baby's hooded towel. I wove the fabric and crochet the edging. One big advantage to cone yarn is only one end on each side to weave in. I have also used this yarn for a knit project ,a swimsuit cover up. I keep coming back to 5/2 cotton.
Service and delivery comments:
Had a great experience with Customer service, didn't have color cards and did not have time to wait for them to come, CS was able to help me pick colors.

Comments about Valley Yarns Valley Cotton 5/2:
I create wearable art from handwoven fabric. When compared to another brand of pearl cotton, the quality of Webs product is inferior. I expect consistent diameter and no knots.

Comments about Valley Yarns Valley Cotton 5/2:
Love, Love, LOVE this yarn. The price is right and the sheen is amazing! I've used this yarn for literally hundreds of projects. The only thing is that the website says the sett is 12-18, but it's really 20 if you're looking for a tight weave. So keep that in mind when planning your warp length!I always use a 10 dent reed with this yarn.

Comments about Valley Yarns Valley Cotton 5/2:
I crocheted a huge table cloth and lots of doilies, lovely vests 2 in ecru 1 in white. All of the things I have made have washed up extremely well. No problem at all with the table cloth stretching or shrinking. It is very easy to work with.

Comments about Valley Yarns Valley Cotton 5/2:
I love the colors and the yarns appears to be perfect, except that it has a terrible bias. I made a gorgeous sweater which when blocked was unrecoverably biased. Oh well, live and learn.
