I love truboo yarn for tops!

Lion Brand Truboo yarn is incredibly soft and silky smooth, with a beautiful, lightweight feel that makes it a joy to work with.

The colors are vibrant and clean, and the shade I used was a light green that had such a fresh, calming look, even though it’s not shown here anymore.

I made a top with it, and what stood out the most was the drape—it flows so nicely and gives the piece an elegant, polished feel. It’s a great choice for garments and anything where you want that soft, fluid movement.

This yarn has it all

It is super soft, has a nice sheen, is washing machine friendly and works up so nice. I like a yarn that shows off the stitchwork and this didn't let me down. For the pattern I made that had a very open stitch, it was just perfect and holds it's shape beautifully. I have now worn and washed this garment several times and it looks just as good as day one. I am looking forward to making many more things with this yarn and am so happy they have it in so many colors.

Loosely woven

Love the color. Have to keep the tension tight or you loose a couple of threads because it's loosely woven ( splits). Very silky and soft. Would I buy it again. Maybe if it's a small project. I bought the mulberry.

Color not as expected

First, the yarn has a beautiful sheen and is very soft. I would like to give this more stars, but the color I received is not what is listed or what it looks like on screen. I ordered the dark blue. On line it looks like a very nice dark blue. What I received is purple, not blue at all. When held next to blue, it is very purple. I wanted blue, not purple. I like purple, but certain shades don't go with my skin tone and what I received is a shade that is too cool of a tone for me. I'm very disappointed. Not sure if I want to spend the time knitting something that won't look very nice with my skin tone. The other yarn I ordered is the exact color as shown on the screen, so I'm not sure why this one is so different. Bummer. The photo is the yarn on a navy background.

Excellent yarn!

This was my first purchase from Lion Brand, and I absolutely love this yarn! I’ll definitely be buying it again for future projects. I used it to make a beach dress, and it turned out incredibly soft and drapey. If you’d like to see how it looks, check out my video. Highly recommend!
