Definitely not DK weight, but great for price!
First, the bad: With my first order, I didn’t get all 10 skeins—only 9. I’m wondering if these are bunched by weight for a 500 g total. I don’t have a scale, so I can’t be sure. Also, this definitely isn’t DK; it’s as thin as embroidery floss (probably light fingering weight). However, holding the thread double yields satisfactory results. And there’s definitely enough yarn to do this (2000+ yards) and still complete a project. Also, there’s not much in the way of stitch definition like you would get with an acrylic fiber (see photo; should be shells/chevron pattern).Now the great: I was afraid to buy this because of the negative reviews. But I have to say, I’ve had no issues with knots or splitting. However, to avoid this, I would use a duller needle set. This is amazingly soft yarn! I bought this to make a blanket for my son with sensory issues and he LOVES it; just absolutely soft! In fact, it’s almost a little too slippery so I recommend using bamboo a hook/needles. And you get SO much for the price! In addition, I love the colors (I bought deep blue and white gray). The blue is the same color as those cheap row counters you can buy (see pic) and the gray is almost a lilac. I can’t wait to complete my projects so I can wear them; bamboo is so great for this warmer weather!

Wedding worthy
I knit my wedding dress out of this yarn and I LOVE it. It's such good value for money, super soft and super light. I have no idea if it's actually bamboo and cotton but I was able to successfully steam block the lace into shape. Very happy with this purchase!

The yarn is not bad at all
The yarn is not bad at all. I needed yarn that consisted of 70% of cotton and 30% of bamboo for hook #3. I was so glad i found this yarn. I made 2 purchases already. The yarn is soft and is very pleasant to the touch. I am crocheting a dress with this yarn and i am quite pleased with the result. Some yarns make the clothes too rough to touch. Well, this one does not. So, overall nice yarn. Can be used for light, summer clothes projects. 4 stars instead of 5 because some skeins have a knots here and there where yarn was tied together, but many yarns have this issue. Also, it took me a day or so to get used to it where it was splitting a little bit, but maybe it was because the yarn i used right before was not splitting at all, so it may have stood out too much. In the end i got used to it and it was not an issue at all.

Soft and antimicrobial.
I like using Bamboo yarn due to it being antimicrobial and the lovely drape and softness of the knitted items. This is almost as soft as 100% bamboo and comes in so many beautiful colors. I have started a custom sweater for my grand daughter and it is coming along beautifully. I am using size 5 needles for the main sweater that has 3 stripes of color. It has the drape of silk and the colors are nice.

More than I expected...
I ordered this yarn on a whim, and I am so glad I did. It is soft, not too hard to work with, and was easy to dye. I use dharma co. dyes for natural fibers, and it took to this yarn like a dream. My current project is with a 5.5mm hook, and the stitches are falling beautifully. Worth the purchase. Totally recommend.*My only reason for a 4 star rating; I wish it had a thread wrapped around the yarn to keep everything together.

Super Soft. Baby Fine. Beautiful Colors
I ordered this yarn for a coworkers baby shower gift (homemade blanket). She is very particular of the types of fabric so a bamboo and cotton blend was perfect. The yarn is super soft. It is a little finer than I expected and it is a bit slick. Once I got the hang of the feel of the yarn, the blanket came together beautifully. I love the feel! I am glad that I ordered it in multiple colors and will have some on hand for my own use.

Soft and Beautiful Soft Blue Color
This is some of the softest yarn I have worked with. I am making a baby blanket and love the idea that it can be washed and dried. It does split easily until you get used to crocheting or knitting with it and then you don't have any problems. Will be using this in the future for baby items.

very deceptive in size and have to pay to send back...
At first I thought... Great value for the price... I was wrong!! These skeins are super tiny and when I thought I was getting 5 ounces per skein I was only getting 50 grams!! that is 1.76 ounce per skein... Now I have to PAY To send this back. very very disappointed. I will not buy from this source again.
