Lion Brand Yarn 551-219 Mandala Ombre Yarn, Chi

This is my favorite yarn to work with. It's very soft, rarely splits and the few times it has was due to the hook I was using and not the fault of the yarn. The colors are beautiful. It is somewhat "slippery", for lack of a better word, so I highly recommend making a small swatch to get the feel of it prior to starting a project. Once you know how it behaves it's super easy to use. I have noticed that some cakes are considerably different in the amount of colors, for instance, in the 3 pk I'm currently using 1 ball was mostly the blues with just a very small amount of the pinks between the 2 main blue sections and another was the opposite with mostly the pinks. This is not an issue for what I'm making but may be for someone else. It seems to be slightly on the thin ... MoreThis is my favorite yarn to work with.

This is not an issue for what I'm making but may be for someone else. It seems to be slightly on the thin 4 weight size and the recommended hook size is an I or 5.5 mm. Depending on what you're making you may be more comfortable using a 4.5 or 5 mm hook. Again I highly recommend making a swatch to check what hook works best for what you're wanting to make. The throw that's pictured all in blue made with the colorway harmony has already been in the laundry and it washed and dried just fine, washed in cold and dried on cool.

The Mandala Obre yarn is the absolute best! It is so soft, gliding over my crochet needle so easily. This makes crocheting a scarf twice as fast. I have crocheted 9 scarves already! It is stretchy, but not to stretchy! This makes it so it will not stay stretched out if it happens to get pulled on. The colors are so beautiful! I LOVE the variety of colors! Five Stars here!⭐️🤩

I LOVE this yarn. My living room color scheme is black, gray, white, and teal. This yarn fits it perfectly. I used it to make throw pillows. I absolutely adore them. The colors on the label are NOT a good representation of the actual yarn though. I really was discouraged when I saw it was variation of tan color. But, was so happy to see that it is NOT tans at all. They really should fix that. Category 4 but definitely leans more towards 3. Very similar to Coboo yarn which is my favorite yarn ever.
