Ok so I made a gorgeous poncho out of it. This yarn feels like heaven it’s so soft. It drapes beautifully. BUT, if you need to start another skein, not knot will hold. I tried a box knot and a surgeons knot. It’s like trying to knot jello it’s so slinky. So I’m hoping my poncho doesn’t just unravel when I wear it somewhere. I’d buy again but still worried about unraveling
When attaching a new skein of yarn, espeically in a slippery plant fiber yarn like this, we recommend leaving a 5-7' tail on both ends to weave in, rather than trying knots. Knots can come undone and leave a hole in your work, which no one wants!, but by weaving in a tail of yarn you've got a little bit of warning. When that tail starts to poke out of the fabric you can weave it back into the project before it comes completely undone.
It is such a pleasure to work with this yarn; the stitch definition is wonderful and it is very soft, smooth and has great drape!
This Botanic yarn is incredibly soft, has a slight shine to it and is a joy to crochet with. It's really difficult to find yarns that won't become fuzzy with use, but this yarn does the trick. It's so soft that I have to wrap it around my pinky 2-3x to maintain tension when crocheting, as there is ZERO drag on my skin. End projects are a little heavy, but in an expensive and high quality way.
It didn't lose the shiny texture when I miscounted my stitches and needed to pull out several rows to re-work them, which was such a relief as this project was a gift.
The strands do separate every once in a while, but for the end product payoff, I can deal with that.
Lyocell is often referred to as "the sister of silk" and I could not agree more. I've already purchased a dozen more skeins in cream and goldenrod, and plan on purchasing even more in the future.
Praying this yarn doesn't ever get discontinued. I think I would cry.
This yarn is a sensory delight! So smooth and soft, a little heavy for its weight. Making a tank top for my daughter and occasionally get distracted just petting the yarn. There is a soft sheen. I'm loving crocheting with it!
The one small downside is that it tends toward splitting, so if that is a major peeve of yours, then avoid.
Picture using Walnut, Dragonfly, and Frost colorways.
I'm first, so here it goes. I just received 12 skeins of the olive color in the mail yesterday, and is a beautiful green. It's a tencel lyocell yarn, which is a different kind of rayon yarn. I think I'm going to use it for a crocheted short ruana or an overhead vest or top. The yardage is shorter than usual, so this will be a great experiment. I'm going to get more in the salmon color if this goes well.
