Lion Brand Yarn826-208 Scarfie Yarn, Oxford/Claret

I had some and needed more. It matches perfectly and arrived promptly.

Very wooly and almost rough feel but far from the worst I’ve felt. Some inconsistencies in thickness color, but overall it’s serviceable and it’s coming together for a lovely blanket. A little too expensive in my opinion.

This yarn is being used for a blanket I am crocheting. It is a very beautiful year with these colors.

This yarn is so easy to work with. It is very soft and does not split. It works up very fast . I made a beautiful crocheted shawl. Now I’m making a crocheted ruana. I’m in love with this yarn!

I love the gradations of this yarn so much, however--this yarn is so hard to frog if you need to. It will knot up on itself and become almost impossible (if not impossible) to undo. As a beginner hooker, I only use it for simple one stitch type patterns where I make less mistakes.

So, I am new to knitting, but have crocheted for a long time. For crocheting, this works fine. For knitting? Not for a newbie. It shreds easily, the different diameter is an issue, and the fuzziness makes it hard to see your stitches if you are doing something other than stockinette or garter. For crocheting I'd give it a four, for newbie knitting a 2.It is softer than I thought once crocheted or knitted and I do like the color variation. The price is great to make a whole scarf or multiple hats.

Enjoy

This is one of my favorite yarns---bought I have previously bought it at Joann's, and I will in the future buy it from there. It was more expensive here, and there are issues with it---there were a couple of places where the yarn had been tied in the skein, whereas when I've bought the yarn in a retail store it has always been one continuous skein. Are these seconds? The store bought ones had no flaws like this.

I am used to working with cotton so this was difficult to crochet with to start, but I soon got into it and managed not only a scarf but also a beanie hat out of the ball. Delighted!

Came fast, beautiful color.

Terrible quality. Flaws and breakages throughout. It’s unusable.

Perfect. Arrived faster then estimated. This wool is beautiful to work with.
