Review: Great quality. - The yarn came quickly. The dye lots matched. Very soft yarn, knits beautifully.
Review: My favorite lion yarn! - This is one of my favorite yarns period. Forgetting how cheap it is for what you get, it is a lovely yarn to work with in general! I used it for a few wearables and I have had zero pilling, shedding, and breakage. The stitch definition is gorgeous. It retains its shape fairly well even after lots of washing and stretching. In all, this yarn holds up very well in wearables and is soft enough to use in gifts!
