Nice feel but skein was a mess

I bought this yarn to trim a fleece blanket for my grand-niece. The colors are very bright and it worked up nicely. I would have preferred a more gradual transition between colors, but that is just me. The reason for the three stars is that the skein was a hot mess. There was no way to pull an end free and it just came out in a bunched knotted disaster. Took an afternoon to sort that out. And then the last two feet of yarn had FIVE knots in it. Very disappointed and surprised as I have never had this happen with Lion Brand. For that price, I should have seen maybe one. I gave 3 stars because it was easy to work with and feels nice.

Great to work with

I like the way the variety of colors and the pattern that it makes. I just started my project and I can't wait to see what it looks like . It's for my granddaughter.

Extremely soft!

This blanket yarn is so soft! I used it to create the Crochet Kit - My Favorite Simple Cozy Shrug. It took me a bit to get used to crocheting with yarn so thick, especially with a BLO pattern, but once I got the hang of working with it, I really enjoyed it. When I did make mistakes it was simple to frog and never got tangled, ever.

Nice weight for a throw. The pattern when using a back loop only single crochet is reminiscent of a puzzle piece but not that shape, just enough to catch your eye. Very soft and nice size skeins

Good yarn

This was my first time working with a bulkier yarn. I bought the kit for the blanket. It worked up easily and quickly. Very soft. I think these blankets will be a big hit with my friends that I'm making them for. The colors are nice too. Only thing is that I wish it came in solid colors too. I'm not a huge fan of the color mixes available, but there's a few good ones.
