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.
Durable and soft kitchen towels
I use this yarn to make kitchen towels. It is wonderfully soft and absorbent and makes my towels a great selling favorite. The towels hold up year after year and remain soft. At shows, I display a towel that I have used almost daily for 6 years, and people keep trying to buy it since it looks as good as the new ones. It comes in a great variety of colors when they are in stock, which is sometimes a very sore point lately, and it is a very good value.

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.
Beautiful peach color, versatile yarn
I love 8/2 and have a lot of it. Somehow, I missed this beautiful color of peach. It's a wonderful addition to the color palette. The color blends when it needs to, creates pop when it needs to, and shines on its own as well. I use it for Shadow Weave, Crackle, Summer Winter.
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.
