Super scratchy! Never again!

I previously bought a skein of Vanna's Choice in silver gray and while it's not the softest acrylic yarn I've ever worked with (that credit goes to Stylecraft), I loved it. I wanted to knit a scarf with this and this yarn so I ordered a skein of Charcoal Print expecting it to be the same thickness and texture as Silver Grey. I was wrong on both counts. Charcoal Print was not only a finer yarn, but also so coarse that it irritated the skin on my fingers when I pulled the yarn through. The…

Pros

Cons
  • Unreliable

yarn is terrible for work

Yarn is terrible to work with. It is rough to the touch and will splinter with use. Also, when twisting a ball into a ball, there were several parts where the yarn was separate pieces knit together. I will never buy again. To return.

Pros
  • Machine washable; The initial water temperature should not exceed 40°C or 105°F. dry cleaning, all solvents; do not use bleach
Cons
  • Some errors

Good yarn - estimate

I have worked with Vanna's Choice yarn before and am happy to order more for a current project. The yarn was as expected but I was very disappointed when I stumbled across a local shop and found that the average price on the shelf was almost half what I had paid at Revain. I will continue to use this yarn, but not here.

Pros
  • Vanna's Choice colors match Vanna's Choice Baby Line colors perfectly
Cons
  • very expensive

Difficult yarn for beginners

I bought this skein to weave a scarf. Please note that I am a beginner knitter. Although I love gray and black, I have found that working with acrylic yarn is not recommended for beginners (the yarn breaks easily). I would start with a thicker yarn. I also found that the thickness and material of this yarn is not ideal for scarves. However, the price I paid was very reasonable. I started making potholders.

Pros
  • 4 medium: Worsted, Afghan, Aran
Cons
  • Not sure
