Review on Rust-Colored Bernat Viva Yarn - Single Ball, 3.5 Ounce: Get Creative! by Lori Aguirre

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Feels great but has trouble dyeing and knitting

Seller and delivery were excellent. The yarn is very soft and makes a beautiful shawl, but I had to take off the stars to check quality. Some strands had up to 6-7 knots, when I tried to remove the knots on one strand specifically, I found that they were all spliced. I have no idea why so many joins were needed. I also have to consider batches of dye. I underestimated (I know, shame on me) and was forced to get more from local stores and here on the internet and all three lots were completely different. I'm new to knitting but I've never seen so many colors, especially acrylic. So yarn that feels nice, but be careful when buying in bulk.

Pros
  • Gauge: 11 sts and 15 rows on 8mm needles (US 11)
Cons
  • Some minor issues
