Lion Brand YarnCoboo Yarn, 1 Pack, Admiral

This yarn is perfect for summer knits. It's available in a wide range if colors and has excellent drape. It can be a split fairly easily so sharp needle tips are recommended

I absolutely loved the color of this yarn, it’s rich and vibrant, just as I hoped! The quality is excellent, soft yet durable, making it perfect for my project. Definitely a great find, and I’d purchase again!

This is a tricky one to review simply because I have quite a bit to say about both the yarn and how it's packaged/shipped. The star rating reflects the quality of the yarn since I'm rightfully not holding Lion Brand accountable for Amazon's behavior. (For lack of a better phrase.)The yarn: It's fairly easy to work with, but the strands do have a tendency to try and separate while crocheting, so it takes a bit of learning to get the yarn to always do what you want. I'm also new to lightweight yarn, so it may be a user issue. I consider myself an advanced beginner, and for me and my skill level, it was a rather frustrating learning curve. *BUT* I will say, the result is amazing for my project. I'm making a granny triangle shawl, and 25 rows (almost one full cake) in, the flow of the fabric is already phenomenal without blocking. I'll be coming back to Coboo for future shawls simply for the drape it can achieve after the initial frustration of working with it. I'd give the yarn itself a 4-star, for sure. For a cost-effective, machine washable, natural fiber blend, I'd say it's pretty dang nice.The shipping: Point blank, pretty frustrating. I fully understand that in buying two separate orders I'd receive two different dye lots. Although, in my first order of the 3-pack, they all shipped nearly packaged together, all from one dye lot. I realized I'd need a bit more for my project than I initially thought and I can't buy Coboo in-store anywhere near me, so I just ordered a 2-pack assuming I'd get another tidy pack from one dye lot. I instead received two individual wrapped little cakes, which I'm not very happy about. As I said, I understand two orders means more than one dye lot, but the individual packs irked me a bit when the way it's listed suggests a singular pack of two cakes. Luckily, I'm just using solid black (coal) so it shouldn't be too noticeable of a difference. But just be aware when ordering for your own project: the 2-pack isn't one pack of two, but rather two packs of one. If you want to be safe about color consistency, I'd suggest ordering the 3-packs.

This yarn has a tiny bit of sheen, without being actually shiny. It lends a richness to the color that I really like. The texture is also good, and it holds together well; no split strands. The price was pretty good, too. The gauge size seems to be accurate, and it has the right amount of stretch. I mainly got it because it was almost the same color as some other yarn that I ran out of, and I didn't know what brand it was to replace it exactly. Well, the color in the picture was very accurate, and it's nicer to look at than the one I replaced. I think I will buy from this line again.

Great quality yarn. I like using it for arugumi.

Thinner texture than I expected & not as soft as I expected either. It’s fine for a washcloth, but not a blanket or hat or scarf.

I made a sweater and needed this for knitting contrast on the neck and armholes. Glad to find it and am completing my sweater now! If you use this yarn, be warned that your project will “grow”. This is the second sweater I’ve made over the same pattern, and I downsized my needles and number of stitches. But the yarn is really soft and comfortable for a clothing project.
