Lion Brand Coboo Yarn-Ice Blue

Bamboo and cotton are a great fiber combination and Coboo yarn is a perfect example of this best-of-both-worlds pairing. The bamboo elevates the cotton to amazing levels of velvety softness while the cotton gives the bamboo strength and makes it low maintenance. Coboo is such a great quality yarn that it's hard to believe that it stays priced so affordably low (but i'm glad it is) I always snag as much of this yarn as i can when i find it because i know i will ALWAYS use it and it sells out quickly in stores, this is not a yarn that will sit around in your stash, you will use it up and go get more, I enjoy the hand feel of it, I love the drape and the stitch definition and it doesn't split or shrink it just gets softer and softer when you wash it and wear it, doesn't fuzz or pill. It is also a really good yarn to use for amigurumi, holds shape perfectly. Can't say enough good things about this yarn!! Try this hybrid and you will never want to go back to plain cotton!!

I had ordered Coboo before I saw reviews saying that the yarn splits into strands while you're working with it and was afraid it might be a problem.... BUT I guess my personal crocheting technique eliminates the snagging/splitting problem because I have had NO PROBLEMS! Apparently I have always turned the hook *point down* automatically when drawing through (I didn't even realize I was doing it) and I have been making granny squares for two days with no problems, no snags, no splitting! As a result I AM ABSOLUTELY THRILLED WITH THE SILKY SMOOTHNESS AND DRAPE OF COBOO and can't wait to finish the long sleeve tunic I am making!! Wishing Everybody "Happy Hooking!"
