I rated this yarn a 3 because I found the description to be “slightly “ lacking in content. The yarn is beautiful but EXTREMELY fuzzy which can make it prone to splitting. It takes a bit to try and develop a rhythm and seems to take an excess amount of time to get through one row of stitches. When purchasing this yarn it would, IMO, not be good for afghans/throws intended for babies and small children. Having said that, I would also like to state it is beautiful and has a very soft ombré affect due to the fuzziness. I would recommend this for a project that could be worked on over a fair amount of time. I am ordering more because it is a beautiful yarn and does have an adjustment period when working with it because it is so different from worsted and bulky yarns.

I bought this yarn from Joann’s in Scarsdale, New York a few weeks ago. I had seen these yarn cakes for quite some time at my local craft chain stores but unfortunately didn’t have the skill at that point to justify buying some. I took a crochet granny square lesson for an hour about a week ago and the orchid frost became my first solo venture into the world of granny square crochet. It’s such a beautiful yarn, gorgeous colors, soft, good thickness. Couldn’t have found a better beginner yarn. I’m awaiting my first order of the other assorted colors. I’m so excited to be making my first granny square scarf! I’ve already finished a few squares. Can’t wait to receive my order and keep going with this project! So joyful!

This yarn is much more like a 4, not a 5. And not a very thick 4 at that. I'm using an H hook, which is smaller than recommended.Am struggling to find a stitch with enough bulk to make this yarn become a warm hat.The halo stuff obscures your view so this is NOT a yarn for a novice. I am relying on muscle memory more than sight in placing my hook. The halo stuff also means there is essentially zero stitch definition. I tried using a thermal stitch to get the bulk and warmth but the halo stuff makes it impossible to find that back lower loop.This is also NOT going to be suitable for a scarf that one wraps anywhere near ones nose, mouth or eyes due to the projecting loose fibers.Mostly I'm just shocked it is NOT a thick yarn.

I love Colorama Halo! I’ve used it in both the older O-go form, and in regular cakes. I enjoyed working with it both ways, but I prefer the cakes for sure. The color selection is beautiful and the yarn is very soft. I’ve made two blankets and a cat bed out of it so far, and I’d definitely recommend it if you like yarn that’s a step up from regular acrylic. If I had to come up with a con, it would be that it can be kind of slippery on a metal hook. I easily remedied that by using my plastic Prym 6mm hook. It’s a very nice crocheting experience.
Even tho it’s sad washer and dryer safe please be careful. I always wash the stuff that I crochet before I use it or before I give it to somebody. I crochet a vest for my brother and , as always, washed it before I gave it to him. I washed it in cold water using gentle cycle. And then put in in dryer on tumble cycle. And when I pulled it out of dryer I thought I will cry. All this beautiful fluff that makes this yarn special was very stringy and looked like sick hedgehog’s soft spikes. There used to be the way to fix it tho. I used the grooming slicker brush and brushed this vest all over . After this action the vest looked very good again.Sorry for my spelling I’m not American.
I bought this yarn a couple of days ago at joanns and it was my first time there. The texture and softness of this yarn is incredible! I stayed up all night crocheting with this yarn and my fingers don't hurt whatsoever. I even rolled it into a ball when it was getting low and I didn't get yarn burn!. This is an amazing product. You can use it with any size but I recommend using a size 4.5 because it worked charms with me. Im so grateful for this yarn and will be using it multiple times in the future.
I’ve been crocheting my first blanket with this yarn (~50” by ~70”, ~6 cakes of Amber Ocean, alpine stitch and single crochet) and this yarn is super easy to work with. It hides uneven stitches really well, it doesn’t break super easily so it’s easy to frog hundreds of stitches if need be and I have tight tension; while it hides uneven stitches in the overall project, you can still see and feel your stitches surprisingly well. On top of it being amazing to work with, is so so SO soft, as soon as I started to get a good section of work done I just couldn’t stop messing with it lol. I highly recommend for anyone, this has been a huge confidence builder for me as someone who is still a beginner!!I haven’t blocked it yet since I’m not finished, but I wouldn’t toss it ... MoreI’ve been crocheting my first blanket with this yarn (~50” by ~70”, ~6 cakes of Amber Ocean, alpine stitch and single crochet) and this yarn is super easy to work with.

Happy crafting!
I was reading some of the negative reviews, but, honestly I cant say anything bad about this yarn. Yes, it does take AWHILE to arrive (JoAnn issue, not Caron), but when it does, its absolutely beautiful. Soft and luxurious, and the color fading is perfect! I have now purchased practically every color combo to make blankets (Crocodile stitch turns out wonderful with this yarn) and they are lovely. Price is great as well. Generally most blankets cost over $100 to make (yarn alone, not my time), so at this price point, with coupons, its a steal.
I purchased this in store, to knit baby blankets. So glad I did, it is coming out nicely. Knitting baby blanket in a seersucker pattern. 14 rows garter edge. I did have one tie in yarn (shown) in my first cake. The pictures do not do the color justice, the white fuzzy fibers distort the colors in photos but the color and phasing is lovely. The blanket is coming out lovely and the seersucker pattern is showing (again more than picture depicts). It is so soft and squishy, going to be a wonderful blanket. Imagine this would be wonderfully soft and comfy as a cardi. There is nothing itchy at all with this yarn. Not as bulky as I thought so rather than US13, using US10 to get a closer, denser knit. Would buy again but based on reviews would probably buy in store, store ... MoreI purchased this in store, to knit baby blankets. So glad I did, it is coming out nicely.

I went to purchase in store because the Joann website says they don’t match lots for yarn & it said the store had 17 skeins in the color I wanted. There where only six on the shelf, from three different lots and unfortunately I didn’t have extra time to hassle an employee to find out if they could find more to match available (the Clover Amour hook in the size I needed was alsolisted as in stock but there where none on the shelf).The gradient was slightly different between lots, but I thought I could make it work because I am doing an afghan in hexagons and wanted to work the gradient across the whole blanket (so rotating between the six skeins to keep the color fade going across a larger area).After working from two different lots I discovered it’s not just ... MoreI went to purchase in store because the Joann website says they don’t match lots for yarn & it said the store had 17 skeins in the color I wanted.

A patch worked from one came out dramatically smaller than the same hook & stitch pattern from the first skein. It’s thinner and less fuzzy, much less pleasing to the hand (more like a conventional acrylic rather than the first skein I was working from). I haven’t compared with the third lot, but these two will not be able to be worked together in one piece so I’ll either have to make my piece smaller than planned or buy different yarn: I hate both options.It’s more than an hour to one way to get to the store, and the website says they don’t promise yarn to match lots: perfectly fine if you only need one skein but a garbage policy if you’re making anything that requires more yarn.It would be worth paying more to buy yarn from a store that understands matching lot numbers is consequential rather than an unnecessary nicety they need not provide.It’s not hard, manufacturers send them out in lots so they have to be mixed together after the fact for this to be a problem.The yarn itself is good, it would be nice if it was more consistent between lots however it’s completely normal for yarn to vary between dye lots which is WHY lot numbers exist, Joann just chooses to ignore this fact and I won’t plan on buying from the in the future unless they fix their faulty policy and choose to sell by matching lots as a matter of practice.
