Lion Brand Yarn 525-220 Mandala Yarn, Troll, One Skein

This ball of yarn is enough to make a narrow long scarf. Normally I buy my yarn elsewhere but his colour was not available from my 2 main yarn shops, and was very please with it when it arrived. It is soft enough for scarves, you could buy multiple ones for a blanket - I would say about 4 for a baby blanket. it washes well but does get a bit fluffy ( I have bought this yarn in different colours before and used it and washed the final products , some of them many times. The colour transition for this mandala yarn is clunkky, no gentle changes like with the scheepjes yarn, just bang another colour, sort of like getting multiple balls of different colour yarn in one roll. it is a good DK size thread, that is easy to work with - I use the ball from the inside out ( start with the end in the middle) this keeps it from bouncing around the place. Beware - the colours are not always ( in fact rarely) as shown in the photo from the manufacturer. The colours are intrinsically the same, but the order varies all the time, for example the photo shows the inside of the ball being light cream moving to light pink, getting darker with the darkest on the edge. Mine arrived with only light pink in the middle, moving to darker, and hten the cream and some more light pink on the edge. So essentially the same yarn, but the order it comes in varies as to where on the roll it was cut for your ball. For one ball, using the whole thing, not a big issue, but if you are using more than one, well, let me tell you, it gets super annoying, you end up having to unravel half the ball, cut it, start there, and then rejoin and work backwards through the remaining yarn to keep the colour progression going through multiple balls in one project. hope this helps.

Gorgeous yarn

Soft and very colourful.

A nice yarn to work with.

Value for money

I made a stunning blanket made with the Lion's brand Ombre mandala yarn so I was extremely disappointed with this wool. It's quite thin and the colours are a bit odd. I regret buying 3 balls now.

Beautiful colour indeed. I love the quality too.

Really nice yarn, I was a bit annoyed that the balls that I ordered didn't all line up, as in the outside or middle of each ball was different so to join and have them flow the same you will most likely need to cut and join the new ball. I most likely should have specified but I assumed since I ordered 3 balls that they would try to match the colour flow in them somewhat. Otherwise perfect.
