Naturallycaron.Com Spa Yarn NC0001 3-Ounce/251-Yard Skein of Yarn Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I absolultely love this yarn! I have been using it since it's first appearance on the shelves. It's super soft, which makes it perfect for baby items as well as adults. The colors are unique! I've used about 7 of them, and they are all just as beautiful as the previous one.
I have made baby sweaters, toddlers sweaters, a couple of sweaters for myself, baby afghans, baby toys and a wrap. Every item has worked up beautifully.
The weight is ideal for just about any project that doesn't require bulky weight. The sheen of the yarn is also wonderful! It's not too shiny, nor is it the dull acrylics your grandmothers used. It has a great hand to it, and thus a great reflection!
The only negative would be that it is somewhat fragile in the sense that it does split easily. The yarn is not twisted tightly, so you need to be cautious when using. It's easy to knit into a couple strands of fiber, rather than the entire stitch. After using for a bit, you'll get used to the texture.
Enjoy the Caron Naturals - you won't be disappointed! I keep going back for more and more!

Sugar n Cream Yarn Cone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I use sugar 'n cream yarn a lot to make hats and handbags I sell at arts and crafts fairs, and I like the looks of the Potpourri yarn because of the red and purple flecks in it. However, those reds and purples run when wet, as I found out when I tried to block a sun hat I had made with it. Yet the product label describes it as washable. I still use this yarn, but only for items that don't need to be blocked.

Lion Brand Yarn Homespun Yarn Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've used this yarn to crochet afghans and for making a coat with my Ultimate Knitting Machine. This is not a good yarn for the knitting machine, because it often gets caught on the needles. It is a bulky yarn which works up quickly, so if you want a quick project, this will do it. However, I warn that beginners should start with a different variety of yarn. It's difficult to see the stitches in this yarn, so I often had to work by feel.
The yarn is soft right out of the skein. The colors are rich. The projects always turn out beautifully. The only problem with it is the ends unravel. Do not use it in a fringe or anywhere else the ends will be exposed. I've read once that the ends of Homespun yarn needs to be knotted to make the fringe, but I think that looks awful, too.
PROS:
+ soft and silky to touch
+ bulky weight makes quick projects
+ gorgeous colors
CONS:
- difficult to see stitches, not recommended for beginners
- exposed ends unravel
I think this is a very nice yarn. The only reason I don't use it more often is that it's so popular that people recognize it the minute they see it. I like my yarn to be a little more mysterious. Regardless, it makes beautiful afghans.

Cozy up with an American-made bulky fiber that makes quick work of large projects like afghans, shawls, sweaters, or throws. Consider smaller projects for snuggly slippers or fingerless gloves because of the oh-so-soft feel. This skein of yarn features various color tones that combine in a way that cause them to subtly stripe, while its silky soft touch makes it hard to put down for knitters and crocheters alike. Another bonus, the warm and budget-friendly yarn comes from a New Hampshire mill that has run on hydro-generated power since 1915. Each skein measures 185 yards (6 ounces/170 grams) and consists of 98-percent acrylic and 2-percent polyester, translating to easy machine wash-and-dry care for finished projects. The knitting gauge: 4 inches equals 14 stitches on size 10 needles; the gauge for crochet: 4 inches equals 10 single crochets with a K-10-1/2 crochet hook. The skein measures approximately 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 by 10 inches.
