ScheepjesCatona-128 Tyrian Purple

Just got back from a work-stint in the Netherlands where I discovered this yarn. Comes in an array of beautiful colors, from vibrant to misty. Best yarn I've ever crocheted or knitted with. With one skein you can whip up kitchen cloths or several washcloths that make wonderful gifts. Colors mix and match well. Excited to have found an American distributor at a reasonable price.

This skein measures about 5" long by 2" wide. The reviews calling this "string" were being generous...this is more like embroidery floss. Might work if you are crocheting something lacy and delicate.

As usually wonderful service and fast shipping. Great job Hotyarn! Love my Scheepjes Catona!

Looks nice. But very small

Catona is perfect when you need cotton yarn with a good twist. It's what Interlocking Crochet patterns require and gives a crisp, clear project. It is available in a wide variety of colors, too!

Great colors. The yarn separates as you crochet, or maybe it's just me, and it's not soft like I thought it would be. It has almost the feel of the sugar and cream brand but a couple of steps up.

Love the yarn and that I received it so fast.

Too high priced, everybody else was out, but I needed to finish.

Really good quality yarn. Makes up beautifully.
