I'm four skeins into crocheting my afghan, and seeing NONE of the issues other buyers have mentioned--no 'yarn barf' blobs, clumps or tangles, and the yarn is of a good, consistent, uniform thickness throughout, no 'thick and thin' issues that other reviewers have mentioned. I've had two instances of finding ends mid-skein--as you would with any other yarn--but tying the yarn together to join them is no problem. The yarn is strong with a silky sheen, the dark jewel tone colors deep and saturated. At the start of my afghan I made some changes before I settled on a size/pattern, so I ended up ripping out and restarting my project 4 times--the yarn took it just fine (and I tend to go for speed over gentleness when ripping out!) and stayed strong and intact with no loss to its integrity. I did have to fuss out some spots where it had grabbed onto itself, but that's the price you pay for fuzzy yarn, I just had to go slow and develop a technique to minimize that. So beginners, beware! I bought 20 skeins and all were from the same dye lot. Each skein is individually bagged, a HUGE plus for anyone shopping and worried about getting someone else's partially used skein they returned! The bags also keep the yarn clean and contained until you want to use it. This silky yarn works up beautifully, the color changes keep you from getting tired of a color. I crochet a little on the loose side. The yarn has a loose twist, so you have to be on guard not to put your hook through the yarn instead of the loop. Being so very soft, this yarn is a bit on the fuzzy side and sheds a little--but not enough to be a turn off for me. When I first found this yarn it was a bit pricey, but after about a month I caught it on sale for under $5 a skein. I'll be buying more of this yarn for future projects!

The colors are striking and glorious. The yarn is soft, but has enough body for hand or machine knitting. Looking forward to working with it.

Beautiful yarn! The colors are gorgeous, and the yarn is so soft. Thick and sturdy. Lovely!

First the pros: This yarn is beautiful! The colors are rich and for a scarf it was perfectly self striping! I made this beautiful scarf for my daughter and the first two skeins were PERFECT! No factory knots, they were each made with one continuous piece of yarn and as I finished the 1st skein, the 2nd skein color pattern matched seamlessly to the first. CONS: The third skein color pattern didn’t match up at all. (I would have had to cut quite a bit off to get to the color I needed to continue the pattern) I wanted the stripe pattern to repeat seamlessly, so I ended up using the other remaining skein. I did a few rows, but then there was a sudden change in color, so I had to cut off a bunch to get to the color I needed. There were also several factory knots in the third skein. For this size of yarn, several knots seemed excessive. There were inconsistencies in yarn width (some parts were super skinny, some were slightly unraveled) Like others have said, it’s not the best yarn for beginners. It can split and since it becomes fuzzy as you work with it, it can be difficult to frog as it sticks to itself. I did need to frog several times, but I kept a small pair of sharp scissors to help separate the yarn from the frizzies holding it together. If you slowly frog right after a row, it may not stick. All and all I am happy with the yarn and would purchase again.

I ordered the colorway "Blue Lagoon". I am so in love with the colors on this, they are absolutely gorgeous, deep, and vivid! The yarn is quite soft and crochets beautifully! It is on the fuzzy side, which makes frogging difficult, i suggest you go slowly, that helps somewhat. I cant wait to finish my project so i can wear it! I really like and recommend this yarn!

Yarn is nice and heavy with vibrant colors

This yarn is very very soft. It is a loose weave and splits very easy. I wouldn't recommend it for beginners. You can lose your stitch count and split stitches really easy. It is very pretty though. The colors are vibrant and it has a lot of spring back.

This yarn is an absolutely beautiful color but I definitely don't recommend it for beginners. It can be extremely frustrating to work with because it is so loosely spun at times it's like trying to knit with thick strands of hair. It splits really easily so you really have to pay attention as you work to make sure your not knitting in splits which makes for a slower project. It's not the kind of yarn that's mindless to work with while you watch TV that's for sure. If that doesn't bother you then I think for the price the colors and ombre effect are really pretty.

Gorgeous color way- so much fun to work with! (Except tying knots)

Gorgeous yarn easy to crochet with and beautiful results so many nice colours

Very soft....I like the colours.I bought 3....the price is high, otherwise i will buy more.

Cette laine est très agréable à crocheter. Elle est très douce. Les couleurs sont magnifiques. Le changement de couleurs est progressif ce qui donne de magnifiques ouvrages multicolores. J'en suis fan !
