To preface this review, I decided to try my hand at crocheting my first ever patchwork cardigan! I have crocheted two other cardigans before, but they were granny square cardis, so this is my first one using gauge swatches! This cardigan I am making is based off of the Harry Styles cardigan, but I am instead doing a Beetlejuice (you know, that one Tim Burton film from the late 80s starring Winona Ryder) theme with the colors!
So, fast forward to now, I decided to obtain this six pack of slime green yarn because the green I was working with did nothing for me. It wasn't slime green enough and it certainly was a splitty yarn.
This yarn however is perfect! But there is some minir things I dislike. Here are some pros and cons:
PROS:
1. PERFECT for what I need project wise.
2. Color wise, this is just what I needed for my project.
3. The texture is soft and the yarn is a thick cotton, which is perfect for what I need because I want to feel warm in this cardigan I am creating.
4. Perfect for crocheting anything.
CONS:
1. Did NOT realize the skeins were gonna be small! I was bummed that they weren't bigger.
2. $9/6-pack of skeins sounds reasonable, but when you use a good quarter of a skein on just one gauge swatch (for reference, my gauge swatch square was stitched with half double crochets, chained 28, and they measure 7.5" L x 6.0" W) it could be a possibility I may have to keep dropping $9 to complete my project.
3. Although I enjoy that the yarn is thick, it also is ever so slightly a little bit rough, but not Super Saver rough lol.
I may update this review when I complete the cardigan and wear it, just to see how I like the feel of it.
