    I keep all my labels because I don’t want to have to try and guess the fiber content later, especially on natural fibers. Also if I need more of a certain colorway it’s better to have the label to look it up.

    what I love from Hobbii is the ability to wishlist certain yarns & colours and you'll get notified by email if it's on sale (and Hobbii runs almost 24/7 sales on yarns... the yarns on sale change, but every yarn is on sale a few times per year...)... and if there are multiple different yarns within a same name-series (such as Amigo, Friends or Megaball), the colours match exactly across all yarns within that name-series... and the yarns that do have easy center-pull all have a little tab on it that says Easy Pull (or something similar to that)...

    A lot of Hobbii patterns call for 8/4s held double which will give you a 8/8. With 100 colors, you have 10000 combinations of "custom 8/8s" Or you could make a bulky with 2 8/4s and a 8/6. Rainbow 8/8 or 8/4 are my go-tos. Hobbii cotton has kinda ruined me for Michael's Loops and Threads Cotton. Feels so scratchy now.

    I like Hobbii a lot... luckily in Germany, I have 2 shops pretty nearby, so I can have a look and touch them... this calms down my jealousy about your yarnshops in the US a bit...😅 I have a lot of those 8/4 skeins... I learned a few weeks ago, I can double those up, if a pattern calls for a thicker yarn, which blows up the opportunities to bust my yarnstash...😊

    I just ordered and tried some of their Honey Bunny yarn! It's genuinely really good and so incredible soft. I find that bad chenille yarns tend to hate magic circles and just refuse to work, but this one works so nice and the yarn is just the softest thing ever.

    I am a big fan of Hobbi's Metallico. It's a chain spun merino wool, polymide, acrlyic blend yarn. I made a large shawl for my daughter to uses as a wrap for prom and omg was it a dream to work with. There was no splitting, it's soft and has a beautiful halo. Also the color adds a beautiful shimmer and just made the whole project glow. I used color 18, Rose Gold. The shawl is now one of my daughter's prized possessions.

    This was fun to see! I have a bunch of the Hobbii Friends 8/4 cotton that I got a couple of years ago to make Christmas ornaments. The color selection is so fun to peruse. Last summer I used it to make the Mario characters for my grandson, and a friend commissioned starfish that I made with it. The stitch definition is so good. I love it. That center pull tag is like a little gift. It’s the little things. I just re-watched one of your other yarn reviews yesterday and I happen to have a big stash of Stylecraft Special DK that I used of make a flower granny square blanket for a gift.

    I actually used the Rainbow Cotton 8/4 Deluxe to make a puppy mobile for a coworker when she had her baby. I have a lot of trouble finding cottons of different weights where I live, so I love that they have so many weight options so I can make lacy summery items out of a breathable, machine washable material. I'm currently using a cake of their Sultan Deluxe (a superfine, self ombre-ing yarn that changes the color one strand at a time to make one of the smoothest ombre transitions you've ever seen) to make a baby blanket (using a pattern developed to use exactly 1 cake of this specific yarn). I've done this blanket and yarn combo before using the sister line Sultan Deluxe Shine and it was GORGEOUS. It's a little pricey at $36-$41 per cake, but if you wishlist it and wait for it to go on sale, you can sometimes get it 50% off.

    I don’t like the yarn barf beginning either. Yarn companies can wind yarn in a way that the beginning is easy to find and you don’t have to dig in to find it. Not sure why they all don’t wind yarn properly. I would say maybe it is more expensive but Red Heart, Big Twist and other value brands use the better winding method.

    I love love love Hobbiis cotton yarns. I use them all the time for amigurumi.
    There is a trick for the center pull:
    Stick your index fingers into each side until they touch. Then twirl your fingers around each other. Clockwise and counter clockwise. Until you only feel a couple of yarn strands between them. Then you can reach into one end and pull on those specific strands. You should be able to get only a teeny tiny bit of yarn barf which can be crocheted away very quickly.
    I use that trick all the time for all kinds of yarn and it rarely fails me.

      The colors for the Dahlia line are gorgeous, but I don’t like crocheting with the strands untwisted together.

The Sultan Deluxe is also twined together.

    Thank you for this great review. I have already worked with several Hobbii yarns and am currently finishing the Outlandish Caplet with Amigo XL and Universe XL. I agree that Universe has beautiful colors but the polyester glitter thread has been a pain to work with (at least for tunisian crochet in the round). I had a few instances where the glitter thread had ripped and also parts were it was very densely wound around the main tread while in other parts it was very loosely wound and it almost ran just parellel to the main strand. I've used all three weights of the Rainbow Cotton (8/4, 8/6 and 8/8) and loved them all. They are durable, feel nice and have a huge color palette to choose from which is great for amigurumis. I really like the Amigo yarns for blankets but my absolute favorite yarns to work with are Happy Place (Merino/Cotton blend) for warm and cosy wearables and Horizon (100% Acrylic and really nice to the touch) for baby blankets.
