Aunt Lydia's Crochet Cotton

i ordered the large ball and they sent the small one. really disappointed.

Thread is very even in size.

I find this thread to be superior to other similar threads from the past (including J&P Coats Knit Cro Sheen) as it is smoother/silkier and has a bit more stretch to it. It seems also to split less when working with it. One issue seems that different colors seem to have slightly different thickness for reasons I do not understand, resulting in finished products that are of varying sizes, though this usually is not an issue. Something to keep in mind is that dye lots do vary, and it is important to buy enough of a particular dye lot when you first make your purchase so that you won't have to buy more later, which might not match. Yarnspirations is NOT good with this. They do not guarantee that all of the spools of any particular color you order will be from the same dye lot.

The picture doesn't agree with the description. I was expecting the pictured item. Pictured is a large thread, received was the 400 yds, significantly smaller amount.

Overpriced, but the package was whole, and the product eventually got to me. If anything, I'm upset with Walmart for not keeping enough stock for the much more cost-effective 3-pack I wanted until after I already bought this one and opened it, and the delivery process that got the package to me a day later than expected. Again, product and packaging - fine. Availability, price and service - not good.
