Review on Lion Brand Yarn 240 201W Sock Ease by Dawn Fischer

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Doesn't wear well compared to other comparable brands.

While I love working with this yarn and am happy to get 100g for 2 socks, I hope this way I have fewer problems with matching. My problem with this sock yarn. perceived care after wearing socks with shoes and during the day without shoes. This wear and tear was noticeable from the first wear and wash and became even more noticeable. Socks look frayed, I've only worn them about 5 times so I won't be buying this brand again as I've had great results with Kroy which has held up my wear with and without shoes without any wear/felting. I always hand wash, sometimes tumble dry and lay flat. So I see a significant difference between the lion brand and Kroy side by side.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • The packaging is ugly
