Best Knitting Yarn of 2025

“I absolutely love this yarn! The colors blend seamlessly to create a stunning ombré effect, and the texture is both soft and sturdy. It’s perfect for everything from scarves to blankets, and I didn’t encounter any tangles or inconsistencies, which is a major plus for me. The size of the skein is also great, providing enough yarn for a decent-sized project.”

“Currently, I’m crocheting a blanket with this yarn using the Jasmine stitch. So far, the thickness of the yarn gives the puff stitches a nice volume and squish, making me believe it will result in a warm blanket. While there are some knots occasionally, they’re usually easy to work out. For the price, especially on sale, I’d say it’s a worthwhile purchase.”

The vibrancy and texture are still intact. I really love this yarn!"

"I recently bought the 24/7 Cotton Yarn in Dragonfly color, and I'm thoroughly impressed! The vibrant hue adds a beautiful touch to my projects, and the quality is outstanding. It feels soft and smooth, and it holds up well during stitching. Crocheting has been a joy; it glides on the hook perfectly. I highly recommend it for any project!"

"I started with a white skein and loved how it handled, so I ordered several colors. I make doll sweaters for my grandkids, and this yarn has a nice luster, is lightweight, and is very forgiving. Each skein arrived clean and pristine, and I enjoyed making tiny sweaters with it. I'm considering larger projects next!"

I picked out this exact yarn at the local crafts store and then ordered two more here because it was a much better deal. This yarn is wonderfully amazing for making super thick, incredibly soft blankets! I love that my son can lay the blanket on the floor for baby and know that nothing harmful can get through it. The thickness of the yarn makes the blankets weigh much more than regular yarn, adding comfort. I have many plans to make many more blankets using this brand and style of yarn!"
