Is this cotton or acrylic? The description is throwing me off...

The Beach assortment of BonBons is 100% cotton. The other assortments vary. :-)

This isn't yarn; it's closer to floss. Amazon should change the description, right?

If you got the “beach” set, you’re right. It is more like thick embroidery floss than yarn. I have “brights”, “crayons”, “celebrate”, “pastels”, and “beach”. They aren’t all the same. They’re all similar weight, but those in the “beach” set are not yarn-like, but are, rather very much like a 1.5 thick floss, very smooth, no fuzz, no stretch. The “pastel” are on the other end of the spectrum, quite soft and fuzzy. The “brights” are pretty soft, not quite as soft or fuzzy as the “pastels”. The “crayons” may be slightly rougher and, oddly, actually brighter than the “brights” (the pink, yellow, orange, and green are positively neon). The “celebrate” is comparable to “brights” and “crayons” but have the added metallic thread weaved in. Hope that helps.

What ply is this yarn?

I search every where and did not find a ply. But looking at it it looks like 4.. I unraveled an end of 1 tiny skein. And counted 4. Its very light weight. And very soft. Hope that helps

How many yards are in a skein?

8 SKEINS 0.35 OZ EACH OR 8 SKEINS 28 YARDS EACH

Gift for mum

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my mum. I bought two sets and I'm glad I did because they're pretty small. If you get a couple/three sets though, it'll make a nice gift. My mum loved them and has used some of the colours up.

Nice feel when working with this yarn

Nice feel when working with this yarn. Glides through my fingers nicely without feeling rough. I crochet a lot of small items and these little balls are a perfect size to work with.

Soft, nice colors, a little pricey

I bought this small package of yarn in Beach to make some coasters. The colors are nice and vibrant, and coordinate well together. The yarn (100% cotton in this colorway) is very soft and easy to work with. The skeins are small (28 yds per skein), but I hope to get 6 or so coasters out of the pack. It's a little pricey on Amazon, I think you can get this cheaper at your local craft store. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase.

Love this yarn

This was purchased for a mug hugger project in the granny square book called “Crochet Granny Squares and More”. It was enough yarn to make 3 mug huggers and probably 1 more. Love these colors. Cotton is my go-to yarn. This was easy to work with.

Gomitoli minuscoli

Sono gomitoli ridicolmente piccoli e purtroppo non ho letto le recensioni e sono stata ingannata dal prezzo basso
