Review: Beautiful Lion Brand acrylic yarn with color changes - I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase one each of several colors of this yarn when it first came out. I wanted to buy more but apparently it is sold-out everywhere until September/October (it is now June.) Because I only had one skein, I developed a diagonal scarf pattern that, for me, shows the color changes and works for my needs. I will include that pattern in the comments at the end of this review for anyone who might want to try it. I was really happy to find that Lion Brand brought out their color change yarn in acrylic and in a size 3 weight (the other brands are currently all worsted weight 4 and at least one includes wool.) I love the drape of a sports weight 3 for clothing items. That they included 590 yards on the yarn cake is also an outstanding plus. The yarn is spun as a cake rather than a skein. That means that pulling from the center is not advisable. You can find the end and try it but eventually you will hollow out the center and have a floppy cake that cannot hold its shape. You can always ball the yarn (and be able to see and deal with any problems you come across. As I like to pull from the center of skeins and don't like to have a cake or ball spinning around on my lap while I stitch, I found and am using a yarn dispenser. There are a number available but this is the one that I found that I like best (though I had to make a small fix to it which is included in my review.) Yarn Dispenser by Yarn Valet - Non-Slip Base with Built-In Holder for Markers, Pattern and 4" Gauge Ruler The color changes are immediate – it does not slowly blend from one to the other. That would also be a beautiful style yarn and I hope Lion Brand comes out with that, too. Maybe Mandala Gradient? However, on Mandala yarn, the changes are abrupt. Personally, I like that. I have two adult daughters that I love to crochet items for. One doesn't like yellow and the other doesn't like pink. With the generous amount of yarn I get on these cakes and the abrupt changes, I can snip out the color they don't like and rejoin the yarn and continue on. I save the color I snipped out to use for the other daughter (if the colors works) or to use in my amigurumi projects. The yarn has a soft feel but has a good twist and substance considering its weight. I've used two different color skeins thus far and have not run into a knot. I fully expect to do so as even the most expensive hand-dyed yarns I own have knots in them from time to time. What I did find was that one of the yarns (Warlock) is more of a heathered yarn than the other one (Phoenix). As I have found with other heather yarn, sometimes the “heathering” is inconsistent with tiny knobs of it showing up thicker from time to time. I keep my sharp embroidery scissors handy and carefully snip off the excess heather “fuzz” when that happens. I'm looking forward to when this yarn is available in quantities once again. I am planning a variety of projects which will utilize the lovely color changes and hope that Lion Brand will come out with more color choices, including some which remain in a color family. I will add photos of the scarves that I finish as I go along and will update this review if I come across any issues.
Review: Great yarn! My favorite! - I absolutely love this yarn!!! It's soft, and I love the multiple colors! It's become my favorite brand! I made a purse out of it! It is very stretchy yarn so it's great for shawls or beanies, I lined my purse with fabric so it would stretch so bad, this bag took a whole skein, so great amount for the price

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many skeins for this price?**
A: Don't waste your money ordering these on Amazon, Walmart has this exact yarn for only $4.97!! The price this seller is asking is significantly more expensive! You can buy two of these at Walmart for the same price this seller is selling one for!

**Q: How many yards per skein?**
A: There are 590 yards per skein. Hope this helps.

**Q: How thick is the yarn, it does not say in the list?**
A: Just bought at walmart. My yarn label says 5 oz/142 g
81 yards size 6 bulky and it cost around 3.50

**Q: how long is each color section before it switches to the next color?**
A: That's hard to answer because each color may be slightly longer or shorter then thr next.  I can say its not like variegated where the colors change every so many inches, these are long color lengths before they change to a new color.  There are approximately 7 colors sets in each cake, so divide that by the total length of 590 yards and it will give you a very rough idea of each color.   But keep in mind that not all of each color are the same length.
