Is this acrylic or a blend?

According to what I’ve read, it’s 100% acrylic, but very thin, and had some issues with it unraveling.

How similar is this to the retired lion woolspun? i need to finish a woolspun blanket.

This is very thin and with a velour texture. It was used to crochet a small bumble bee. I'm not familiar with the other yarn.

Has anyone tried to use this yarn to make a Afghan? Does it work for that kind of project?

Yes it does. The yarn is soft and light. I myself am crocheting an Afghan with this yarn

Coordinating pink with light pink and ombre.

Making a blanket for my granddaughter, she asked for pink. Love the contrasting dark and light pink and the pink ombre that was available.

SO SOFT!

I absolutely love the softness and the ease this yarn offers. The color has been stunning against the other colors I'm using to crochet a blanket!

Great yarn

Love this yarn. So soft and easy to work with. A nice #4 weight yarn. I used it this time in a blanket I was crochetting.

Soft!

Thinner yarn, but very soft. Bought for a craft unrelated to knitting and it works perfect. The two colors separate from each other easily, which I imagine might be an issue for knitters, but it worked fine for my needs.
