This yarn is wonderful! Love the stretch it gives, has just the right amount for comfort in those areas that need adjustable tension. Best part is the affordable price compared to others in the same class and quality. I crochet professionally and this is wonderful for my swimsuits. Would love to collab!

The wait for the yarn to get here was well worth it. It’s super soft & amazing. I purchased a couple
of different colors & I will be adding more colors to my next purchase. I will definitely be getting more soon!

4.0 out of 5 stars Soft and silky but “ grows” when blocked
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2024
This was purchased for a gimmicky pair of socks that my granddaughter was “obsessed “ with. I didn’t want to spend a lot so I gave this yarn a try. It exceeded my expectations for acrylic yarn. Very soft and silky but I didn’t block my swatch and it really grew when blocked. I used US2 needles but would go smaller.

Yarn is soft and silky. This is color smoky and it matches the product image well, a purplish grey. This is fingerling yarn so very thin, similar to embroidery floss. Doesn't split.

3.0 out of 5 stars The stuff nightmares are made of
Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2024
I would classify this as a sock weight yarn. Probably okay for crochet, but I was knitting with it and don’t recommend it for that, especially for inexperienced knitters.
PROS: beautiful sheen & drape
CONS:
1. Pretends to be center pull, but is NOT. If you see an end sticking out of the center, DO NOT PULL IT! It’s ia trap. Use from the outside or rewind. Once the center is pulled you’re basically doomed. What a mess. I had to throw large parts of 2 skeins away because it was just completely unrecoverable.
2. Extremely slippery. EXTREMELY. If you’re knitting, use lifelines frequently, even with the most basic stitches. This yarn has no grip on itself, so once a couple of loops slide off of your needles they just keep unraveling like a domino effect and are nearly impossible to pick back up.

I bought this because it was inexpensive, but working with it has been a nightmare. It would probably have been fine if I hadn’t pulled that center string.
I might consider purchasing again now that I know what to watch out for, but honestly, I’ll probably stick with bamboo or cotton-bamboo or even sock yarn in the future for similar projects.

Used this yarn for a baby blanket project, to double-up for color with another color, to pull the pink color out. Worked well. Delicate.

High luster, fingering weight yarn. Skeins pull from center. Easy stitching, work just zips along. No splitting. Fabulous drape. Love this yarn!
