I never used the yarn to knit with. The color was too ugly.
Great quality yarn with an additional sparkle which adds to its appeal. Perfect for crocheting garments and I have this yarn in four different colours.
Beautiful colour and quality for crocheting. I have 4 different colours in this yarn as I love it so much. Perfect to crochet beach dresses with!
Beautiful yarn especially when bought in the sale! I’ve crocheted 3 beach dresses with this yarn and it’s perfect and stylish.
I found this yarn (although beautiful) quite difficult to knit with. Maybe it’s me but I found especially when casting on the yarn splits. However I am not going to give up. This is the first time I have ever been disappointed with my purchases from Lovecrafts.w
It's knitting up well - just there is a lot of p2tog tbl, so I do have to be careful I don't split the yarn! The metallic part is a beautiful blue, but the other part depends on whether it's daylight or artificial because, to me at least, it looks either a bluey-grey or a vaguely-greeny grey - but, no matter, both look good.
Love the colour and texture of this
This is a lovely yarn (though, to be fair, so it ought to be at that price). It is soft and easy to work with, and it has great stitch definition; due to the construction it can split a little, but this isn't a serious problem. The "metallic" isn't really - it's more of a subtle effect. The yarn is composed of two strands, one a plain cotton and the other a nylon that is about as reflective as, say, raffia; so it's quite sparkly in full sunlight, but under most other types of illumination it just has a bit of a sheen. It's also worth noting that the colour contrast in the photo is just a trick of the light; in reality, the Sangria shade is almost a solid cherry red (unlike the other shades, where there is a genuine contrast). I like this yarn so much that I have bought several shades for different projects.
Easy to knit with but needs careful watching as the wool ‘splits’ easily.
