Review on Lion Brand Yarn 215 138 Cranberry by Heather Shaw

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Really very soft, but difficult to work with.

3/25/19 Update: I started my project and didn't get very far. This yarn was very difficult for me. It's hard to stay on the needles and I've never come close to the size of any size needles. My project will not be completed in the foreseeable future. I read other reviews and this yarn sounded perfect so I ordered it. I was beyond disturbed to find out that the package came in three separate batches, but all color batches matched! For the first few days of trying to work with him, I had every imaginable problem. Lots of tears, metal needles slipping off, a knot (ends connected) in the first few inches of my fabric pattern and very difficult to pick up loose stitches. But I ordered some bamboo needles and kept working until I thought everything was under control. The color isn't as saturated as I would like - it almost looks faded - but I intend to continue with my project. I wouldn't buy it again. I like the feel of it and I expect it to drape very nicely.
