Mandala® Thick & Quick® Yarn
SKU: 528-203BQ
Lion Brand® worked tirelessly to introduce Mandala® Thick and Quick®, a bulky version of the original that didn’t compromise on color or softness and we finally succeeded. It has brand new unexpected color combinations that crafters have come to expect from the Mandala® name, with subtle color changes and a superior hand.

Learning to use this yarn was trial and error for me, but now I absolutely love it. Initially I had trouble with it not gliding over my hook very well, getting stuck, and squeaking. I changed my hook to a 15mm smooth resin (from using wood), and it made a huge difference. I love the hdc-blo throw blanket I created with it in the color Stairwell, and have had some requests for another plus other items in this yarn and colorway. The colors are outstanding. I even split a skein to make a couple beanies. I would love to see this color in an aran or worsted offering but didn't see any in search. If you love rustic colors you will not be disappointed with Stairwell. The speckling, marbling, and blending of colors into each other are wonderful... perfect The squish factor is also great on my finished projects. Thank you Lion Brand! Love it.
This yarn is gorgeous and thick. I wish they came in bigger rolls but I’ll be ordering more regardless.
I wanted a thick, somewhat stiff yarn for a rug and couldn't be more pleased with this yarn. The colors are beautiful, and it works up well without any splitting.
I don't know that I'd ever use it for any kind of clothing, but I bet it would make some beautiful baskets.
I realized this is a bulky yarn but while knitting the Afghan shown on the website, turning out more like a rug. Not soft and hard to work with. Hoping it will soften after washing. Love the colors though.
I'm crocheting the Reflections Throw. It's all double crochet. I found the yarn easy to crochet with, though the stiffness of the throw was more than I expected. I don't think I will make another throw with this yarn unless I need to make one for the Arctic Circle. It may be okay for a rug or ottoman or a dog sled cover as it has a lot of body stiffness to it. I do love the colorway of Labyrinth. I would love a softer 5-weight yarn that would drape for a thick beanie and scarf in this colorway. My photo doesn't show how beautiful the colors are.
I love working with this yarn and have made several bags for gifts.
