Excellent for placemats
5 Stars
Excellent for placemats
Made great knitted placemats. Excellent stitch definition even after washing and drying although it benefits from only damp drying in machine then blocking the rest of the way. Love the deep color of the coffee bean colorway. Wish this yarn were available in primary colors too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Consistently Great Quality
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2023
This is 100% (mercerized) 4/medium worsted cotton. It’s intended to have a different texture and is much more durable than conventional cotton yarn without the loss of a nice feel.

The feel and look of a higher quality is obvious once you touch a finished piece. Yes, the yarn feels different than standard yarn. It’s supposed to. It’s processed differently for a reason.

This particular yarn is perfect for any project that will be used or handled frequently. It is stronger, doesn’t produce heavy lint, doesn’t get fuzzy or pill up, doesn’t split easily, and is more resistant to mildew. It holds its shape better than regular cotton yarn, and withstands many many washes and tumble dries on a medium heat setting. (Don’t use bleach or fabric softener.)

I disagree with the reviews that call it “thread” or dk weight. Not true. Yes, there is a dk version of this brand, but it clearly says dk on the front part of the label. The thickness is comparable of an identical piece stitched with standard cotton yarn.

The yarn swatches up just as noted on the label:

Crochet Gauge (4in x 4in)
14 single crochets x 19 rows
using a G-6 (4 mm) crochet hook

Knit Gauge (4in x 4in)
20 stitches x 28 rows
using #6 (4 mm) knitting needles

Photo 1: My current 24/7 yarn stash is from in-store and Amazon purchases over a several month time span. The overall quality and color of yarn is consistent across the board, regardless of where it was purchased from. This stash is ever changing because of the volume of crocheting I do in my spare time.

Photo 2: I use a LOT of this yarn to make simple dishcloths/washcloths for charity fundraisers in our local area. They are a hot commodity because of the durability and how they hold their vibrant color for a long time. Definitely better than any store bought dishcloth/washcloth. Honestly, I can’t make them fast enough.

If you’re unsure about Lion Brand’s 24/7 cotton yarn or if you’re unfamiliar with mercerized cotton, try a skein. Don’t judge the yarn until you’ve finished the project. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.

This is my honest opinion from my personal experience with this product. I purchase all items at the posted price and do not receive any product or incentive for providing a review.

5.0 out of 5 stars A solid choice for cotton projects
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2023
I crocheted with this yarn and found it very easy to work with. Minimal splitting or separating. A nice strong snap with each stitch. Tension is easy to maintain. It really highlights the individual stitches/pattern. I've used nearly a dozen different brands of cotton yarn to crochet with and this one is on the smoother and softer side. In fact, it's so soft that the mason jar cozy I made with it doesn't provide enough grip when I'm holding a full jar of liquid! I would actually use a poorer quality cotton yarn for that to help with the grippy quality. I'd recommend this product for clothes and accessories instead. The mauve color is beautiful and understated, feminine but not girly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great quality, but skiens are kinda small
Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2023
I was able to get a little something worked up but I wish the skiens had a bit more. I should be happy for what I got because the price was great! I was able to complete a turleneck and a 1/3 of sleeve cuff with one skien. I have 6 more skeins on the way. I hope it's enough to complete the sweater I want to make. Definitely worth a buy. Really easy to work with. Nice color, too.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice yarn but absolutely NOT Medium 4 worsted weight
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2022
In short, the yarn itself is easily five stars IF you want a good quality light worsted, 3, DK, etc yarn on the thinner side. But don't get it if its specifically for a project calling for worsted medium weight weight. The three stars is because the yarn isn't close to the weight it claims to be and I wasn't able to use it for my intended project.

Upon the yarn arriving it was evident that the skein was indeed smaller that usual despite having a typical 170m length. This wouldn't have been a problem, but the strands were NOTICEABLY thinner than the worsted weight yarn I had been using. Nevertheless, I decided to proceed with my pattern that called for worsted weight yarn and a 3.75 mm crochet hook. Using a 3.5 mm hook I began my pattern, but stopped after finishing the base because, as you can see, the gaps were too big for my amigurumi and the filling would be showing. I show some comparisons with other worsted weight yarn I had been using. I'm not a wraps per inch expert so take that photo however you want.

The color of the yarn is nice and what I wanted/expected. It is cotton which is of course a little harder on the hands, but it is easier on the hands and smoother than Sugar 'n Cream cotton yarn. I agree that it has a nice sheen, especially for cotton. This skein feels pretty hefty for being so small, and this is indeed reflected in how sturdy it is. I would consider this yarn to be soft and comfortable against even my sensitive skin, but it will produce stiffer projects than other soft yarns due to its sturdiness. This yarn DOES NOT split. Perhaps this is because this yarn is made of four strands twisted around each other firmly with each of the four strands being made of two strands twisted together (for an 8 ply?). So Lion Brand 24/7 cotton is a good yarn, but the labeled weight needs to be taken with several grains of salt.
