Disappointed with the quality

I was very happy with this yarn as it was exactly the color I was looking for but didn't meet my expectations. As I pulled it out of the center of the skein I got to a point where the velvet fibers were sticking out a few inches from the center strand, making the yarn difficult to work with.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Great price

Comparable to Bernat Velvet

I really liked this yarn. The thickness was comparable to the Bernat velvet yarn I spliced it with and the quantity was also on par with Bernat. It was of good quality with very few broken pins in the skin along the entire length and was exactly the color it was advertised as. Even if you haven't tried velvet yarn yet, you definitely should! He's so soft! And everyone should just touch it!

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some mistakes

Wonderfully easy to work with with velvet yarn!

I just LOVE this yarn! It's velvety smooth (perfect for my future grandson). It's also easy to work with, which surprised me as anyone who has worked with this type of yarn knows that this can be a problem as it can get tangled or even fall out if it's not good quality. This yarn has it all! The colors are vibrant and intense (I bought 2 green skeins as my grandson is born on St. Patrick's Day), the yarn is easy to work with, slips through fingers and doesn't fall off even after trimming the…

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • I will add later
