Review on Lion Brand Yarn Hometown Cincinnati by Angela Rodriguez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

NO Quality Assurance -

It's so frustrating. I understand 5 star reviews. I had 5 skeins of San Diego Navy which were perfect and 1 with 1 knot. I ordered red/yellow/blue for a baby blanket based on my positive experience. I'm looking at a half finished project now and I'm afraid to work on it. Do you have problems with each skein - do other colors flow/melt? in red (with knots and more knots so close together I wonder who knitted it and decided it could be used!), blue looks like it passed (failed!) a strength test with scuffs and thickening / thin sections and twisting and grouping. and yellow - well, I'm sure there's something lurking about that gets me excited. Buyers beware - heaven or hell under the same "Hometown" label. I won't risk it again. The bad definitely outweighs the good.

Pros
  • Hometown comes in a wide range of bright primary colors, versatile multicolored and textured tweed fabrics perfect for high school and sports team projects and more.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

The yarn was all screwed up.
