Review: Gorgeous yarn 🧶 - Fabulous yarn, fine but strong, crocheting a long duster style cardigan. I have used this yarn many times. Crochets up lovely, washes great. No splitting when crocheting, glides nicely over my hook. Nice colour range too Review: Value i think. - First class! I’m using it for Hardanger. Nicely shiny - correct thickness and fantastic value. I’m (hopefully) going to sell these bookmarks to Newcastle supporters, in aid of the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation. ## Features - 100% cotton - Shiny finish - 4 ply - 60 colours ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01D9PDD2E | | Best Sellers Rank | 10,184 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 48 in Yarn | | Brand | DMC | | Brand Name | DMC | | Colour | Bright Green | | Country Of Origin | Bulgaria | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,931 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00077540283163, 00077540283170 | | Included Components | 1 x DMC Petra No. 05 crochet yarn 100 g, 400 metres length, #05700 | | Item Length | 400 Metres | | Item Thickness | 2.5 Millimetres | | Item Type Name | Petra Yarn size 5 | | Item Weight | 0.1 Kilograms | | Item length | 400 Metres | | Item weight | 0.1 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | DMC | | Material | Cotton | | Material Composition | 100 cotton | | Material Type | Cotton | | Product Care Instructions | Unavailable | | Product care instructions | Unavailable | | UPC | 077540283170 077540283163 | | Unit Count | 280.0 meter | ## Product Details - **Brand:** DMC - **Colour:** Bright Green - **Compatible Knitting Needle US Size:** 6, 9 - **Item length:** 400 Metres - **Item thickness:** 2.5 Millimetres - **Item weight:** 0.1 Kilograms - **Material:** Cotton - **Material composition:** 100 cotton - **Product care instructions:** Unavailable - **UPC:** 077540283170 077540283163 ## Images ![DMC Petra Yarn, 100% Cotton, Bright Green (5700), Size 5 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bKZoEjApL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Hi there i cant seem to find your other colour choices.
