I Like Big Yarn
SKU: 956-157AQ
Customer Reviews
I'm working on a cardigan and these will be my last 2 skeins to make sleeves(I bought 10 skeins total-8 Marmalade and 2 Stucco)! It's going to be heavy, but oh so cozy.
I don’t like this yarn, I love it! It’s so soft and the colors are beautiful! I knit the striped throw (pattern free on website) and it feels like a weighted blanket, it is very cozy!
I love crocheting with big yarn, but it is very expensive!
I was very excited for this yarn but the quality is not what I expected. One skein had 6 dropped loops in the i-cord for multiple rounds. Two others had 1 dropped loop that I was able to fix by cutting and grafting the ends together. Three skeins were joined by tying two ends of the icord together (other skeins were joined on the single strand and worked seamlessly into the icord) so I untied and grafted those back together. I am expecting to find more issues as I use the remaining skeins (I bought 16). I sent an email with the info to support but haven't heard back. I called support and was able to get the worst skein replaced.
Don't recommend unless you want to rehabilitate i-cords. I'm worried about dropped loops I may have missed, causing my project (knit blanket) to unravel unexpectedly.
Hello Rosie - our apologies for the defects in your yarn! Please contact our quality control team at [email protected] so we can record this issue and help to resolve it.
I used this for an afghan, and my only complaint is that I wish I'd used a looser stitch because this is a THICK, HEAVY yarn. the afghan is more of a weighted blanket now, lol. It works up faster than you think, even knowing it's so bulky, but it is soft and looks lovely. Just keep in mind that it's a bit thicker than you expect and will work up faster than other bulky yarns.
Pretty color and very soft.
