Yarn was super soft. I used it for a baby blanket and it has the best amount of weight and softness. This yarn will make a super duper heavy blanket if you make a larger one. It splits easily when working with it, but I find that kind of common with bulkier yarns. Nothing that can’t be fixed by slowing down!
The Hometown Syracuse orange yarn was better than the New York white & Fort Worth blue that I ordered together, but it still split apart easily, so you have to crochet a little slower in order not to catch your hook on the yarn. It's pretty yarn though & has a nice sheen to it, so the Nets team blanket I made with it turned out very well! I couldn't find the right 3 shades in any other style of Lion brand yarn.
The New York white yarn is pretty, but I was disappointed by the number of knots in most of the 9 skeins I purchased. I'm crocheting a large stadium blanket, so it's annoying to have so many extra yarn ends to have to work in. Also, I noticed that the strands in this type of yarn separate more readily than with other Lion Brand yarn types, so it's easy to catch your hook on a strand as you are crocheting, which slows down the process. The white was much worse than the Hometown Fort Worth blue skeins I bought! I still like using Lion Brand yarns, but won't purchase this type again, after completing this project.
Hello Robyn - our apologies for any excessive knots in your skeins! If you come across more than 3-5 knots (depending on the size of the skein) please contact our quality control team at [email protected] so we can make a record and help you out.
I bought this with the kit to make my first sweater and I love how it feels. My swatch match up to gauge. Does split a little bit so I just watch out for it. I do like the sheen and love how soft it is!!
I prefer natural yarn, but felt that it did not matter as much for making a basket. The yarn is soft and has a nice sheen, but one has to pay attention working with it. For me, it tends to split since it does not have a lot of twist. It is a bit pricy for the length given, unless you buy it on sale. Note that some colors (prints) have a shorter length, and it's not that easy to understand which ones are the prints. I would appreciate a better distinction in the description. All said, I'm very happy with my baskets, but had to use a smaller size needles to accomplish the firmness needed for the pattern.
This yarn is very soft and works up quickly. However, it also splits easily and sheds a lot. Do not wear black pants like I did when working with the white yarn.
