Lion Brand Yarn Mandala Yarn, Multicolor Yarn for Crocheting and Knitting, Craft Yarn, 1-Pack, Cupid

This ball of yarn is enough to make a narrow long scarf.Normally I buy my yarn elsewhere but his colour was not available from my 2 main yarn shops, and was very please with it when it arrived.It is soft enough for scarves, you could buy multiple ones for a blanket - I would say about 4 for a baby blanket.it washes well but does get a bit fluffy ( I have bought this yarn in different colours before and used it and washed the final products , some of them many times.The colour transition for this mandala yarn is clunkky, no gentle changes like with the scheepjes yarn, just bang another colour, sort of like getting multiple balls of different colour yarn in one roll.it is a good DK size thread, that is easy to work with - I use the ball from the inside out ( start with the end in the middle) this keeps it from bouncing around the place.Beware - the colours are not always ( in fact rarely) as shown in the photo from the manufacturer.The colours are intrinsically the same, but the order varies all the time, for example the photo shows the inside of the ball being light cream moving to light pink, getting darker with the darkest on the edge.Mine arrived with only light pink in the middle, moving to darker, and hten the cream and some more light pink on the edge. So essentially the same yarn, but the order it comes in varies as to where on the roll it was cut for your ball.For one ball, using the whole thing, not a big issue, but if you are using more than one, well, let me tell you, it gets super annoying, you end up having to unravel half the ball, cut it, start there, and then rejoin and work backwards through the remaining yarn to keep the colour progression going through multiple balls in one project.hope this helps.

Nice shading between the colours. Highly recommend it. Washes really well

Perfect amount of yarn for a good length scarf, providing a nice hombre effect. No joins or knots so worked up well and quickly. Will buy again in different colours.

The quality of the yarn is good, it’s soft and lovely to work with, no knots or tangles, and the way the colours gradually change is lovely. I’m crocheting a slouchy top so I’m using an even bigger hook than the one suggested - 6.00mm instead of 5.00mm – which is resulting in a soft, draping fabric. I would buy it again, however, I think I would probably try and track it down in a shop, check the colours, then possibly buy it online again. The reason I say this is because what I’d hope would be a muted turquoise is actually quite a bright greeny turquoise, which is a bit too bright for my liking. The cake doesn’t have this colour on the outside as shown in the photographs, instead it’s all in the middle, which actually works better with my design.

Lovely soft wool really good too work with and lovely colours

Really nice yarn, I was a bit annoyed that the balls that I ordered didn't all line up, as in the outside or middle of each ball was different so to join and have them flow the same you will most likely need to cut and join the new ball. I most likely should have specified but I assumed since I ordered 3 balls that they would try to match the colour flow in them somewhat. Otherwise perfect.

Mine was mainly blues and greys with only 2 shots of pink and yellow. and no turquoise.Nice colours just not as bright as shown.

This was my first proper project and I am glad that I choose this yarn. Though the yarn is thin in few places, it’s a great one to work with. I would buy it again for future project
