Mandela Sparkle Yarn Aquila

I had bought 4 "cakes" at Walmart. Discovered I was one short, but WM was out! Ordered online with a prayer that it match what I already had. It did and the poncho I crocheted turned out beautiful! This is the most lovely yarn & I love it. Will use for other projects.

Fantastic Yarn

I love this yarn because it makes my knitting look so processional. When making knitted shawls and baby afghans for my family, friends and for charity they turn out beautiful because of this sparkle yarn. The sparkle in the yarn gives them an extra added charm. Thank you

Very pretty

Love the colors. Seems quite durable. The stitch definition is great, the yarn is spun tightly (doesn’t split even with the metallic thread) and it is an excellent price for the yardage.

Color inconsistent from photos

I ordered two skeins of two different color ways. One is just fine and I am looking forward to my project. However the colors of the second (Aguila) are unacceptable. Several are muddied and frankly ugly and don’t look like the photo on the website. I’ve used this yarn in the past and am experienced with working with the variable colors within each option, but this second color is going to have to go back, and I’m very annoyed that I have to pay to ship it back because of a manufacturer’s inconsistencies. (Photos of the cakes are what was sent, and the other is the website photo-I can’t find this yarn locally so I had no way to see it in person first). Otherwise the garments I’ve made for my young granddaughter machine washes and dries well, and they hold up to her active childhood.

Hello Kristina - our apologies for what looks like a quality control issue with your second cake! Please email us at [email protected] so we can help with this issue, rather than having you return the yarn.

It’s Beautiful!

I ordered Draco and Aquila to make blankets for my nieces. The colors are absolutely beautiful, the yarn itself is super easy to work with and very soft. Occasionally I’ll have to cut a section take a knotted segment out, or a segment where it was not put together well.. but that happens with a lot of yarns. It will not keep me from buying and continuing to make projects with it. The yarn itself is good quality and beautiful. Pictures truly do not do the colors justice.
