My return to crocheting

I love this yarn. The colors I have ordered are perfect for my project. I have recently returned to crocheting after a fifty year hiatus. This yarn has made my return so easy.

Beautiful deep green yarn.

Yearn was easy to work with and worked up nicely into a sweater for next winter.

Average...

I really needed this shade of green and got this brand based on the reviews. Honestly, I didn't feel like there was much of a difference between this and RHSS.

Kinda disappointed

So im kinda sad about this yarn. It IS soft but the issue is it splits so bad so when it snags even the slightest bit, you can't fix it. Each skein is a different thickness making it borderline 5 weight. Im goin to finish my project with it and hope for the best. Its not a bad quality, just a slight letdown! I bought 16 skeins. The chocolate brown and green are a little different as far as color goes also.

I LOVE this yarn!!

I LOVE this yarn! It is so soft, and the quality is excellent!! I am knitting a baby blanket which is coming out so nice, and a lot has to do with the yarn. I have only knitted the beginning, and it is so pretty!! I LOVE it!!!

Beautiful Yarn

Absolutely beautiful yarn! Lovely to work with! I knit a toddler sweater and hat set and it is adorable! The colour was vibrant, the garments washed up without pilling and I would definitely use this again!

Nice yarn to work with

Easy acrylic yarn to work with. Has a nice soft finish for blankets.

My Favorite

I find this yarn is quite consistent in terms of gauge and washability. Both are important to me, especially when giving an item as a gift, I don’t want to have to worry about it being ruined in the wash. My photo is of an afghan that has been machine washed and dried many times. (Don’t mind the dog hair, lol)

Beautiful yarn!

Great quality yarn for the hats I’m making! Soft and easy to work with. Just slightly bigger than the standard worsted weight yarn. It is sort of in between #4 weight yarn and the bulkier #5.

I have found two knots

I have found two knots in my yarn so far causing me to undo stitches and in one case completely restart a piece as the knot was found part way in a cable stitch and I found I couldn’t safely undo the pattern, so I started over.

Hi Dyanna, thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear that you had to restart your project. If there is anything we can do to further assist you, please let us know. We are here to help!
