My go-to thread!
I love Valley 8/2 cotton! In fact, I do most of my weaving with it. It plumps up beautifully when weaving overshot, and is deliciously soft when finished.

great towel yarn
This is one of the best yarns for towels that are soft, beautiful and absorbent. I've used them for years and my customers love the towels and so do we.
Defective yarn
I've been buying this yarn for years without problems but my recent order contained a cone that had dozens (hundreds?) of spinning flaws. Every few yards there was a pigtail of mis-spun yarn. After about a week of back and forth with customer service, including sending them 8 photos of the flaws at their request, they said they would ship me a replacement cone. I was told I would be notified when the replacement shipped from their warehouse, but it has now been one week without any follow up or...
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m very sorry to hear that you experienced issues with your 8/2 cotton. It appears we were contacted from two separate email addresses, which caused a delay in resolving this for you—please accept my sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. I’m glad to confirm that your replacement cone was shipped on April 23rd and is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. We hope that we do have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future. If there’s anything further I can assist you with, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Best wishes,

5 Stars
I just finished my first inkle band and I was thrilled with how easy it was to do. I believe the 8/2 cotton yarn made the project go quickly and smoothly because it was so easy to work with, and I loved the colors, which were bright and eye catching. I would recommend using this yarn for inkle band projects.
1 Star
Cheap for a reason. Thinner than other 8/2 cotton (I had to triple both the warp and weft), and inconsistent quality. In fact, one entire cone was useless (every few feet had a significant flaw).
1 Star
The turquoise 8/2 yarn had a knot or twist in one of the plies about every 10 to 15 feet. It resulted in a lot of wasted yarn when I was making a warp. I would not purchase it again.
2 Stars
Yarn had knots about every 10 yards. Lots of "fuzz" which would build up into a bulge as I warped. I won't buy this yarn again.
Versatile and high-quality cotton yarn
I use 8/2 for just about everything from dishtowels to napkins and placements, baby blankets, etc. I like the hand of the fabric once it is washed and how well it wears. I like the versatility of the 8/2 cotton and how well it wears. I like how it adapts to many different kinds of projects and still showcases the weave structures.
8/2 cotton
I use a lot of 8/2 cotton for dishtowels and napkins; easy to work with, lots of colors to choose from; cloth made from this yarn is easy care (machine wash, dry if you must but not necessary).
Valley yarns 8/2 cotton
Valley yarns 8/2 cotton is my fiber of choice when I make towels, potholders and dish cloths. I love the weight of the finished project and the softness plus durability. By combining several colors while making a project I end up with a beautiful array of textiles.
