Catona Color Pack, 109 Mini Skeins (10 g Each) Mercerized Cotton Assortment

I am a crochet beginner, and Scheepjes Catona has quickly become my favorite yarn to work with. It makes beautiful amigurami. I bought this kit because I needed so many different colors for a granny square pillow project, and boy did it deliver. Every color in the rainbow in one box! Each 10 gm yarn bundle is enough to complete a small granny square with yarn left over ( pictured are 3 1/2” using a 2.75” hook). This is high quality yarn. Allows for very smooth stitching, never frays, and the colors are so vibrant! You may be able to find cheaper yarn but it won’t be a better value considering overall quality and ease of use.

The pack I ordered were the mercerized cotton ones. I haven't worked with this brand or type of yarn before. As of yet I haven't made anything with these lovely mini yarns, so for now they're nesting in my yarn stash. The colors are nice in that they seem to have some depth to them -not sure if that's the proper description of how a color would look, but there it is.

Really like this pack, I've got a bunch of small projects to use these on so they were just what I needed! And I get to sample a bunch of colors too which is super helpful. Saw some bad reviews about the yarns being moldy/dusty after I already purchased this, so I was very happy to see they all look clean and the colors look great too!

Okay, I goofed when ordering this box? This was totally my fault... I thought I was getting the 25G=62.5M skeins of yarns. Imagine my surprise when I saw the 10g=25m skeins in the box. "My hubby was laughing out loud and could not get over how small the yarns were that I purchased." I'm known as LUCY to my husband, and I joke around calling him Ricky... we both loved watching reruns for that old television show. On the brighter side I absolutely love this product, and these mini skeins are great because I use these as a guide for colors when I order the 25G=62.5M skeins. I love being able to see the vibrant colors in advance for my amigurumis. Product was well packaged in the box and arrived in perfect condition, and I have used a few skeins for my amigurumis accessories such as beanies, hats and scarves. I am one happy customer.

I have a large yarn and thread collection for knitting, crochet and embroidery, but Catona is probably one of my least favorites. I purchased the sample box of Catona because of the wide range of colors. Unfortunately the overly shiny sheen of this mercerized cotton yarn makes the colors look garish. The yarn is also somewhat slippery to work. I’ve tried to find the right project for this yarn but the results have been mostly disappointing—the color palette does not blend well in larger areas. Using Catona for accents—surface embroidery and edging has been more successful.

So I bought this because it was so many colors and I wanted to make a rainbow bywith my new zoom loom. It’s nice yarn but just thin. For people who don’t know about yarn it is like 2 embroidery floss put together its thin sock yarn. I have still taken on my zoom loom project with it but it will definitely be a thin blanket. Is it worth $100 I don’t think so but I used a %40 off coupon at hobby lobby I would never pay that much for this. But let’s just say I am shocked how far 1 little ball goes

I love these! The colors are all so pretty and the yarn feels nice to work with. It’s wonderful to have so many different colors without having to commit to big, expensive balls of yarn for little projects.

It seems to be a common occurrence for the packaging of the product itself, the cardboard case, to have some form of damage. Mine also had this. It resembles water damage. The yarn balls inside were absolutely unharmed so I'm not mad. Some people may be bothered by the boxes condition of the yarn is also damaged, or if it is a display box, or a storage box and they are concerned with the overall aesthetic. I am not bothered by it because the yarn is okay, it does not have an odor, and the box still is able to be opened and closed. I am not going to fault the product because of the packaging as I really doubt Scheepjes is the one who did the damage.

Love all the colors and of course the yarn. Bought this for making amigurumi. Perfect size for the cloths and more!

Sehr schöne Wolle. Alles top

Order arrived on time in excellent condition. I am planning to make a multicoloroured shawl so this set is ideal for the purpose. The colors are beautiful, the quality is good.

Recieved item today with duplicated yarns. I did not recieve a full 109 colours. Very disappointing. I returned it for a full refund.
