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)...

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.

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.

At a sale this year I snagged four entire cones (1700m each) of the Rainbow 8/4 for absolutely silly money. I knit myself a pair of shorts and I have a matching crop top in progress, both made with less than one cone. The cotton is super pleasant to work with and having just one thread with zero yarn joining and not even one knot within the cone was LUXURIOUS.

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 think doing a triple or double crochet with the suggested hook size was playing it a bit safe with the chenille. So the frogging test doesn’t exactly give us amigurumi-ers a good idea of the yarn quality. Nor the strength or tension issues. We need to see how it holds up with a smaller hook and tight stitches. Just an idea for next time 😉 However, this video was great for the cottons! As you know, cotton can be difficult to work with, having lots of drag. And I found this video super helpful with making purchasing choices for these cottons 😊💖

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.

I’m waiting for a Hobbii order (Rainbow Deluxe 8/4, friends cotton 8/4 and Sultan) to be delivered and really glad to hear that I will not be disappointed. It’s hard to find fingering/sport cotton yarn that patterns specify, and Hobbii seemed to have the best selection. Will report back when I receive the order.

Funny, I stumble on your vidéo while I am working a project with Hobbii Rainbow 8/6 cotton ! You are right about the beautiful stitch définition ! I just wish the yarn was a little more slippery on my needle, but it's a great affordable cotton 😊

I love Hobbi yarns. My favorite is the Cookie. It makes such soft items. If you watch you can get it on sale, and buying in bulk will also get a discount.

I just found Hobbii as I was looking for a nice cotton for chemo caps for my stepmom who was recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer. It sounds like it's going to be a good choice. Obviously, an acrylic or cotton acrylic blend might have more stretch, but I find acrylic to be itchy, and I wouldn't want it on my scalp!

I watched your video today and was so excited to get the recommended yarn from Hobbii to start a pattern that I had purchased from CAROcreated design, doll Mia. Unfortunately most of the colors I needed from Hobbii were out of stock...white, nude and a dozen other colors. Oh well hopefully they'll have them back in stock soon. Love your videos you're such an inspiration!! Thank you!

I love Hobbii yarns. And the company is so easy to work with. I received an order that had the Universe Yarns in it and 1 out of the 4 of a particular color was very totally off. Same dye lot, but 1 of the colors was just missing. I did send a picture. They not only replaced the 1 that was wrong, but all 4 so that I did have the same dye lot again. That is customer service. I have not used any of the smaller skeins, but am also partial to the Sultan yarns. I do like working with thin yarns and their colors are beautiful!

I love Hobbii yarn! As I watch this video, I’m literally making keychains with the Rainbow 8/4 cotton. I have a large vacuum bag full of this yarn, so this is a way to use up some of it.

Yarns sold in UK often don’t have easy start tabs and you get yarn barfs a lot. Love the Hobbi site and use it when my local yarn shop (independent one) doesn’t have what I want. Hobbi also have lots of accessories on sale. It’s always fast delivery from Denmark to UK.
