Lion Brand YarnIce Cream Roving Stripes Yarn, Pixie Stix

So cute and soft

Love this yarn. It's soft and shiny and has a great stitch definition. The colors are lovely too. Not too thick. I love this color way (Pixie Stix). Will definitely try another one soon.

I ordered 3 balls of "Lion Brand Yarn Ice Cream Roving Stripes Yarn, Earl Grey". The product on the outside looked exactly what I ordered and expected. They arrived on time and the color was correct. Sadly, when I started using the first ball, I was quick to find a tear in the yarn. Unfortunately, the yarn was torn somewhere in the middle of the ball. So, rather than fishing for it, I got my yarn baller and caked the balls of yarn into two separate balls. I quickly noticed there was an abnormal number of knots in it. I started to cake the second ball, and it was also split several times into the ball. The last ball of yarn was near perfect. I'd like to think of it as a fluke, but I'm not sure with two of three having issues. I'd attach pictures, but it wouldn't make much of a difference now that they're balled up. Still, after all the issues, the wool is still of nice quality and all came from the same batch, so the colors are nicely the same.

Even in the cast-on, this yarn lost twist and fuzzed up badly. Too, couldn't locate the internal end despite pulling out considerable innards. I threw it in the trash. Please don't purchase.

I always hand rewind my yarn before starting a project. This skein of yarn was the worst yarn I’ve ever purchased from Lion Brand. This is not the norm!!!! But it was so frustrating!!! Spent hours untangling the mess. But again, totally a unique situation. I would definitely buy Lion Brand again.

This yarn is super soft and knits up into a beautiful blanket.
