Mandala® String Yarn
SKU: 557-200CU
Customer Reviews
This yarn really does look like string! I like it a lot, and I can't wait to get started on a new project with it. I also plan to order more!
I completely agree with the review from another reviewer. Love/hate relationship. It needs someway to locate end of yarn in center because working from the outside-in the yarn "melts" into a tangled mass. It took me 11 HOURS to untangle the knotted tangled mess it turned into. I made a GORGEOUS shawl in MIXTAPE (the pictures don't do it justice) with it the first time and loved it so much I ordered 3 skeins of every color (that was before the knotted, tangled mess happened-almost causing me to return it all). I love all the colors and the way it worked up.

I love the finished projects with Mandala String, the color transitions and the weight for garments. That said, it's hit or miss with using the yarn because it can pull beautifully from the skein at it's best, but too often it is a mess to untangle because of looking for the inside end pull or just tipping the skein over. A simple tab on the inside pull would easily prevent the tangle mess, but when you hunt for the end in the skein, you take a risk of really messing up the yarn. I spent hours in this project just getting the yarn detangled so I could use it. When it works, it's a pleasure. When it tangles, it is distressing.
This is gorgeous, I love the colors and the feel. I made a chemo head scarf for my sister and she loved it!
Have an issue with packaging. Yarn wants to tangle really bad when coming out. Feel like a package like Doily yarn is packaged would work better
This is the second time I've ordered it and loved both colorways I got! There did seem to be a slight difference in weight between the two colors. "Beats" seemed more like a 2 while "Tune" seems more like a true 1. Pictured is "Beats".
