golo Crochet Thread Size 10 Yarn for Hand Knitting Crochet Yarn (Lotus Root)

Silky and suitable for clothing details (crochet)

This thread is gorgeous to look at. It is soft and smooth with a lovely sheen. However, it is slippery to use as it’s silky so is not suitable for anyone who isn’t experienced with thread. For beginners it is best to use thread that has some ’grip’.Also if you are using it for Irish crochet, it’s hard to get the stitch first few stitches to stay on the cord. Very frustrating!I also wonder if it is genuinely a standard size 10 thread. I have compared it with the Aunt Lydia size 10, which is considered the standard size 10. You can see from the image that the Golo is slightly finer and appears less tightly wound. However, that does not mean it splits more easily. The size difference matters if you are uncomfortable with finer thread and when gauge is critical.Looks wise, it is slightly more lustrous than Aunt Lydia thread.Regardless of the challenges, a beautiful thread indeed.

This is great quality. I got the leaf green, it's much darker than the picture so not quite the colour of leaves I was expecting. There will be a mix of green leaves in this crochet bouquet in the end. I'll need to get some lighter too.

Lovely yarn

Ease and good quality

Very nice yarn. It has slight shimmer, which makes it a bit slippery. Nevertheless it was a great choice for my angel (pattern available on youtube just search for Christmas Crochet Angel)

This was the perfect colour I needed and exactly as shown, however I didn't feel the thread was as good quality as previous order so had to send back

I bought this to crochet amigurumi dolls using a 1mm hook. This yarn in simply beautiful. It’s soft and lightweight but extremely strong. The colour match to that of the pictures on the advert are pretty spot on and the mercerised sheen makes finished items look high quality and is an absolute dream to work with. Excellent value for money and arrived quick and well packaged. Would definitely recommend this product and will buy again.
