Soft and easy to care for!

This yarn was a delight to work with and provided great stitch definition for the baby blanket I made. I used Lion Brand Basic Stitch Anti-Pill, and highly recommend it for both sweaters and blankets!

Amazing and soft

This is some of the nicest yarn I have ever worked with. It is extremely soft, and the stitch definition looks amazing. The hat I crocheted looks like a luxury item. The colors are also perfect. I really couldn’t be happier!

If you’re patient and have hours to address the knots, your item will eventually turn out beautiful,

I love this yarn and all the colors. I am currently making a blanket from multiple colors which are all so pretty. Easy on your hook.

I ordered 5 skeins of red yarn and am knitting my fifth hat. I give them away as fast as I make them. Photos are of the original hat design and my own modifications. I later added a tassel to the hat without one. Love the tassel!

Lovely to stitch with!

I have used a good bit of the basic stitch yarn and it always works up so nicely. Color is consistent even when I have to order more to finish a project.
