Such a beautiful yarn…

This yarn is soft and airy. It’s so easy to work with. Very luxurious. The colors are prettier in person. Trust me and just buy the yarn.

Soft and lovely

Very nice yarn . I knitted a pullover lions pattern. Number B70394 easy eyelet yolk sweater. I thought it was so pretty. I ordered the cardigan and I’m still working on that. I’m working on the sleeves. Should be finished soon. I went up two sizes on the sleeves. I felt the circumference was very small other than that it came out beautiful.

Lots of trash & variations in gauge

Bought a sweater kit then 2 more skeins to finish. As expensive as this yarn is-relative to others- it shouldn’t have feet long thread gauge and different weights throughout the skein. This has been a fight. By cutting out the trash pieces I’ve had to order two extra skeins. (The original order was one size up than I made) very disappointing

Lovely yarn, hate that the composition has changed

Ordered 2 extra skeins required to finish a sweater and did not realize (because it's not indicated anywhere by Lion Brand) that the composition of this yarn has completely changed :( to say I'm disappointed is an extreme understatement. I have always trusted Lion Brand for their consistency but now I have hours and money invested into a sweater I love but cannot finish. Totally bummed!! Buyer beware!

Hello Lisa - our apologies that the new yarn received won't work to finish your project! We don't keep old dye lots in our warehouse so we suggest looking on eBay, Etsy, or Ravelry for matching yarn to finish your sweater.

So soft alpaca

I’ve been buying alpaca yarn from different vendors and I just love this lion brand alpaca yarn. I started a sweater and then ran out. Make sure to always buy a little extra. Been waiting forever to get the gray color. Finally I can finish this Sweater just in time for the cool air of Fall.

so soft and fluffy

I am so glad I found this yarn - thanks to a crochet sweater kit I ordered. It is so soft and fluffy, easy and enjoyable to work with. I will probably return to this yarn in different colors for future crochet projects.
