crochet yarn brands

here's a list of the yarns that I used:
  • Monaco cotton thread size 10
    weight: 50 grams per ball
    length: 175 meters/190 yards per ball
    site: http://monaco.com.ph/
    This is what I use most often because its luster. This is also the cheapest cotton yarn available locally.

  • Cannon cotton thread size 8
    weight: 40 grams per ball
    length: 175 meters/190 yards per ball
    colors: available in 127 solid, variegated and multicoloured shades

    I usually use Cannon yarns only when the color I needed is not available in Monaco.

  • Anchor Lifestyles Crochet Thread size 10
