So silky and wonderful!

Working with bamboo yarn for the first time! I knitted a sweater with a chicken and this yarn exceeded all expectations. Very silky and cool - that was great as my chicken is already fluffy and hot. I was trying some weird stitches like Tunisian honeycomb for the first time and this yarn worked pretty easily! I probably wouldn't start learning from it as it's very fluid, but I'm still a beginner and it wasn't difficult to use at all. The color of the mushroom is a beautiful dusty lilac, very…

Soft, Pretty, Thin, Splitty

I wanted to love this yarn. I love bamboo yarn for clothing as we live in the southern US and bamboo is way cooler to wear this time of year. And Lion Brand is a quality brand. However, this yarn does get thin which is a bit frustrating for me, although for others it may not be a problem at all. And it can be shared. One reviewer summed it up correctly. You get used to it. Getting used to it doesn't necessarily make it easy. I have found other bamboo threads of the same weight that are really…

Pros
  • This CYC 3 (light) yarn makes lightweight garments perfect for transitioning from spring to summer.
Cons
  • money box price

FULL rip off for knitting and crocheting

The yarn itself is beautiful. But you will be deceived if you buy it here!

I bought two packs of three here, I could buy a whole other skein with the money I would save if I just went to the brand's website! My lesson: don't buy Revain yarn unless you do your research! Edited to say that after going through 1.5 skeins so…

Pros
  • Care instructions: Machine wash and lay flat to dry

Never look back.

So let's talk about this yarn. When I received it I was a little disappointed with the size but was immediately struck by the texture and softness of this yarn. The caliber is slightly smaller, that's a size 3. (which compensates for the size of the strand) It works fast and is very flexible. It looks like real clothes when processed. Not prickly, not itchy and not rough at all. It goes through my tulip hook like butter. It also doesn't stretch at all, so works well with tight-fitting clothes…

Pros
  • Incredibly soft and subtle, Truboo is a 100% bamboo yarn with an amazing drape.
Cons
  • Some mistakes
