In short:

A couple of colors we really like are Petroleum, Glass and Jade Gravel. With 100 different colors a lot of color combinations are possible 🙂 .
Properties
This cotton yarn is mat, sturdy and slightly thicker (aran weight yarn). It is lovely to crochet with this yarn. It does not split quickly. A nice cotton yarn for the slightly bigger projects.
Projects
We have already used the yarn for various crochet projects, such as a pillow, hot water bottle cover and a phone case. With just one skein of Yarn and Colors Epic you can make this key cord or try the free crochet pattern for this plant hanger.

As you can see above, we have used the yarn several times for different projects. The yarn is of a good quality and very nice to work with. The price per skein is also not too bad. In short, we are a big fan of this yarn!

Hi Ingrid and Marjan 🙂
I’m so glad I found your review, I’m eyeing this yarn currently as the colours are beautiful and I was thinking of crocheting a colourful baby blanket.
I’d love your thoughts on if you think this yarn is soft enough for a baby blanket, or a bit too sturdy?
Thanks!

Hi Miwa,
Thank you for your comment!
The yarn and the colors of the yarn are beautiful. I love working with it. Yes, it would say it’s soft enough for a baby blanket.
Please be aware that it’s a 100% cotton yarn and therefore it can be quite heavy for a blanket. Please keep this in mind when choosing a pattern and needle/hook size.
I have also worked with Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/8. This is a similar yarn to Yarn and Colors Epic. I think the cotton from Hobbii is slightly softer than Epic.
Have a creative day!
