Lion Brand YarnYarn, Acrylic, Portland Wine, 1 Pack

Lion Brand Yarn Company is a lovely silky soft yarn which has a thick texture, therefore, it might not suit crochet or knitting patterns which show a lot of detail on the pattern. It is perfect for nice warm garments or for those times when you want yarns that look just as good as the texture feels.A great yarn which I am very happy to recommend.

Beautiful colour, soft and easy to work with

Fabulous color!

It's overall good yarn, but I was disappointed just now to be knitting along and suddenly I'm presented with a knot because somebody (seller? yarn company?) tied the yarn together. Being a new knitter, this is a complication I wasn't anticipating and am frustrated about. I expected I might need to start a new strand of yarn at the end of the skein, but not right in the middle of it! Now I may need to unravel a row in order to combine the strands, so I took away a few stars for that.

The yarn is very soft and a joy to have a final product from, but the several-threads-in-one-strand style can make it difficult to work with. Partially because the hook (or knitting needle) can too easily be inserted in the middle of the strand, and also because the strands can unwind a bit through the natural twisting of the yarn counter to how it was spun. The latter problem does not tend to show in the products though.ALSO the given picture clearly shows the yarn to have a somewhat dappled or variegated color, but the yarn I received from both shipments were one, solid color. A pleasing color, but not the colors plural I was expecting.

Knitted my daughter the purple scarf she wanted.

Yarn unravels easily making it difficult to work with. Nice color. Will not purchase again.
