My Thoughts on Premier Hipster Cotton
- Premier Hipster Cotton is made up of lightly twisted cotton fibres.
- It feels like a true # 3 light weight yarn.Â
- I specifically chose a centre out pattern because I believed that the colour changes in the yarn would suit it better and on completion this is still my opinion.
- I chose a 3.5mm hook because of the nature of the pattern even though the small hook size was not the recommendation. I had no issues with the smaller hook and it was very enjoyable crocheting with.
- There were no splitting issues at all.
- It is a beautiful soft cotton yarn and feels nice to the touch.
- I had a slight issue with a small yarn barf at the start when trying to pull from the centre, but that wouldn’t stop me using it again.
- IÂ did not find any joins in the ball.
- The colours are beautiful and for this reason alone it’s a joy to work with.
This project took a little over one full 100g ball of Premier Hipster Cotton to complete. I played yarn chicken and lost. ðŸ˜

In Summary
- I love the vibrancy and beauty of the colours in this yarn.
- Premier Hipster Cotton looks particularly nice in the round. I have yet to try it with back and forth rows, but I think granny squares would look great in this yarn also.
- Definitely recommend!!
The pattern I used is called Springtime by Lucille Laflamme. You will find it in Issue # 175 of Crochet Monthly.
