Too soft to work with

This yarn has beautiful colors and changes quite often. The only problem I have is that it is very soft to work with and the layers come off easily. It will be difficult to process. I've tried it before and not very far. I plan on trying again soon, but it may go unused if I can't get it to stay together while I work with it.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Contact Seller

More than one break in the middle of the strands

I needed yarn to finish the quilt. There was no store and I found the right colour, weight and brand on Amazon. I ran into yarn breaks while working with each ball. They were tied together in more than one place on each of the strands. I got this working, but I've never experienced this problem in the past. I'm not sure if I was lucky or if it's defective strands from the manufacturer. I actually paid more for Revain than I did in the store. Beware!

Give them time to relax!

First I wrote a harsh review here. When the strands arrived they were such tiny little things. Certainly not the normal size as in the picture! I was angry because I started making this wedding gift very late. Angry, I called Revane. The tour guide was not very helpful. I asked his boss. I wrote an angry review. When I called I looked at the strands and they were the right size! It turns out they are normal. As it turned out, they were vacuum packed! They just had to get back in shape! Now I…

FYI, this yarn is suitable for bias knitting!

I received my order VERY quickly which is ALWAYS great! This is a good product, the yarn is VERY shiny and soft. I was worried about only getting one skein but my order had 2. One thing I wanted to mention is that Camo Renegade Color needs to be double knitted or crocheted. If you are unfamiliar with the term (I put it below), if you are a beginner please search for more information. While it's beginner-friendly, I'm more than confident I can make something out of it. I would recommend this…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some errors

Choose another brand

I bought the Caron Simply Soft for about $100 in 7 different colours, some at my local store, others through Revain. I chose this yarn for the beautiful vibrant colors but was terribly disappointed with the quality of the yarn. I've had strands with such knots in the middle that I threw away 1/3 of the strand. Other strands regularly had spots of glue or something else. The biggest disappointment was the yards and yards and yards of multiple strands of yarn twisted so tightly that instead of…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

NOT THE 'SUNSET' COLOR I EXPECTED

I've used Carons Simply Soft 'Sunset' yarn on another project and although it doesn't quite look like my favorite yarn the tone of the color was lovely so I bought it again here. Of course, the color batches can differ, but I did not expect such a difference! The yarn I originally bought was shades of red and brown, ideal for muted colors for Christmas crochet projects. There was no trace of red in this yarn, lots of oranges and everything else brown - MUCH different! I would use it for some…
