Review on 🦁 Lion 640-306 Wool-Ease Thick & Quick Yarn: Vibrant Poinsettia Shade with 97 Meters of Quality by Sasha Hsiao

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Look out for short prints, stripes and metallics

This is a great yarn for quick projects. But a word of caution: BE CAREFUL: Prints (like Blackstone), stripes and metallics (like Galaxy) are lighter and longer than plains, tweeds and heather (5oz/87yd vs. 6oz/106yd). This is not a product defect and is clearly stated on the Lion brand website (check first before ordering if you have questions about choosing a colour). Make sure you buy an extra strand if you're buying a color scheme that's shorter. Too bad I didn't check before I ordered.

Pros
  • 79% acrylic, 20% wool, 1% metallic polyester
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
