Lion Brand Baby Soft Yarn - Mint 140g

So I need to make a baby blanket for a friend. I needed the yarn sooner than later so I ran into JoAnn on the way home. Lion Brand Pompador was in two bins so I dug to match dye lots, paid for 6 skeins of this yarn. The label says it's a 3 wgt but it's a pretty thin 3wgt. the color isn't true white bua step below to off-white. The label says it's supposed to be white. I go to start my blanket and the BABY yarn is so scratchy! Isn't so soft. If I don't like the feel and scratchiness, it's not comfy soft for a baby... maybe a sweater but not a blanket. Some reviews on the yarn in various place talks about a change to the yarn and label. I don't if the blue level is new or the old and on the yarn one is softer than the other. I don't know if the blue label.is new or ... MoreSo I need to make a baby blanket for a friend. I needed the yarn sooner than later so I ran into JoAnn on the way home.

This yarn is terrible! I bought 5 skeins to make a baby afghan. I haven’t even used 1.5 skeins yet. Couldn’t find end on the outside or inside. Had to pull a huge chunk of yarn from the middle. I have spent more time untangling this mess than I have crocheting. I have never done this but I am going to return the remaining 3 skeins and attempt to find another yarn that isn’t such poor quality. It’s a shame to read review for Lion Brand, Bernat and Caron and so many comments about how the quality isn’t what it used to be on so many of their different lines. Used to be my go to brands. Shame they have no pride in their products anymore.

I bought this yarn for to make a baby afghan. After starting the piece I saw that the yarn varied in thickness. Some of the strands looked flat while others seemed more round. At one point there was a fat clump of strands that I had to use the scissors to make thin enough to use. This happened a second time but not as thick. At another point in the middle of the ball it just broke off so I had to make a knot to continue with my afghan. I would not recommend Baby Soft yarn because of the inconsistencies in the yarn.This is not the quality yarn that I expect from Lion Brand Yarn so I had to only give it two stars.
