Threads continued to diverge

Threads continued to diverge and I had to consistently go back and correct. The threads are not wrapped tightly enough and the threads keep breaking. The color is like the picture but not a soft yarn and feels very synthetic. Used it for a Christmas themed kitchen towel project so it was fine but I wouldn't recommend it for anything other than decorative purposes.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Little things

Do not worry. - Yarn

Of the 3 balls purchased, none turned out to be good. I make Christmas scarves with planned pooling, one ball per scarf. So I knitted 3 strands together and made a scarf. Some of the color was washed off, causing the red color to appear pink in places. Elsewhere it was completely worn out. Elsewhere, however, red and green have been interspersed with white. I do NOT recommend this yarn and I have used the Super Save many times. Very disappointed.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No machine

Buyer Aware Best in Knitting & Crochet

This yarn is definitely not soft - probably due to the dyeing process. I bought 6 bundles of this yarn and my biggest complaint is that each skein had 1 to 4 "knots" in the layer where the yarn was tied together. This was very frustrating because it means the finished product will have knots with fluffy threads sticking out. Also, "white" is definitely not solid white. It has "patches" of red or green dye in any part of the white. Well, with all that said, that fits in well and definitely says…

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Legacy Model
