    I love working with this yarn. It’s a beautiful gray with flecks of color throughout. It’s soft, pliable and easily slips through my crochet hook. I have had no issues with splitting. It makes crocheting a breeze!

    I have ordered a lot of this yarn in a number of colors. I like this deep rich green with blue undertones and the twists have a darker color giving it good depth. I am making Christmas stockings and the trees pop against the cream wheat color that is the backdrop. The yarn is soft and easy to work with. Each stitch is well defined and shows well in my project. Good center pull if you like pulling from the center. No roughness against the skin or across the finger while feeding the yarn. It has the look of high end yarn at a budget price. I also like that the colors are named after landmarks, national parks and more. I am very happy with this yarn.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nice smooth acrylic yarn in a lighter worsted weight
    Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2016
    I purchased a number of colors of this yarn but did my test scarf in Cuyahoga Valley. It is a lovely deep teal color with touches of lighter teal running throughout. The overall effect is one of a very subtle tweed.

    The skein is 251 yards for five ounces of acrylic yarn. It states that it is a worsted weight 4. I've seen a lot of variance in worsted weight yarns and I would certainly call this one a lighter worsted weight. The skein suggest a J 10 (6mm) hook but I found that an H (5mm) worked best for me.

    I always test a new yarn by crocheting a standard scarf. That gives me the opportunity to experience the feel of the yarn and to compare it against other yarns that I have likewise tested. I use a half-double crochet as it gives a good body to the material and still leaves it soft enough for comfort.

    For this scarf, as I had a lot of yardage, I choose to do a chain 14 (two for a turning chain), turn, half double crochet in 12, chain two turn, and repeat until the scarf was 72 inches long. In most worsted weight scarves, my scarf is around 4 inches wide. With this yarn, it ended up 3 inches wide by 72 inches long with a considerable amount of yarn left over (which I could and may use to make a fringe for the scarf.)

    I liked the way the yarn felt in my hand. It was smooth and silky and the yarn pulled easily from the center. I didn't have any knots but I did have three spots where the yarn appeared slightly frayed. Those spots end well within my crochet but would have been apparent if I had knit with the skein. Because of the fraying, I would give this yarn a 4.5 stars if it were possible. As it is not, I round up (as always) to a 5.

    I like the yarn a lot and will be making a number of projects using it. I had hoped for a full worsted weight yarn for some Celtic-inspired projects but I don't think it is quite thick enough.

    Very rich color and I love the texture of the yarn. I used two strands and made a very nice thick scarf and fingerless gloves

    4.0 out of 5 stars lilac color
    Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2024
    Pretty yarn. I'm new to knitting but a friend recommend this as a good acrylic yarn to start with and I agree. It's soft and easy to work with. I was a bit surprised by the color of wolf trap. There were two different pics so I thought it might be a more cream, off while color, maybe tan. But turns out it's a pinkish lavender color, kind of lilac. It's pretty, but more pastel pink/purple than what I was looking for, so something to be aware of for for the color. To me wolf trap does nothing to help figure out what a color is and the pics weren't helpful either. I also ordered acadia and really like the vanilla cream color of it, sharing in case you are looking for something along those lines.

    this is the softest worsted-weight yarn I've ever had by Lionbrand. I bought several different colors of it and I loved how they're all named after famous land places in California and other states.
