(3 Pack) Lion Brand Yarn Truboo Yarn, Mushroom

It’s always a risk when buying strictly for the color you see on your screen but that’s a risk one takes when buying off the internet. I would definitely not call this Lilac but it is certainly a lovely shade of silver and when the light hits it just right, it becomes a light silvery blue. If you are buying with hopes that this is a lavender lilac color, it is not. It’s a beautiful quality and a lovely soft textured yarn though and I do want to order more to make a bigger blanket! Something else I do love about this yarn is the lightness of the weight. It’s not heavy at all and will make a beautiful lightweight blanket for my babies this summer. Acrylic yarn tends to be heavier, more stiff, a bit course, and certainly warmer but this is a silky, soft, cotton-esque texture and so beautiful!

I don’t usually write reviews but I really love this yarn, however there are two caveats : It is somewhat difficult to foundation crochet with due to some mild yarn splitting (then again FC is not my strong suit. the WHITE color way was nearly impossible to chain without splitting every time so I gave up, but Slate and other color ways like blue/purple have worked out fine). Secondly, bamboo fibers retain moisture quite WELL if you decide to wet block. Takes a while to dry and ended up using a blow dryer on cool to prevent felting. I began using Truboo a few years ago when I became a more intermediate crocheter and love the texture of the product it works up — So soft and smooth and not like traditional acrylics or wools that tend to irritate my skin. Quite thin if you’re looking to SC but worth it IMO. Love!

Now I'll admit I didnt pay enough attention to the yarn size in the description when I bought it I just saw the color and thought," This is the shade I need for the project I have in mind!!" Then proceeded to buy what I thought I would need based on the yardage alone ( yes I realize now how terrible of an idea that was.) Luckily for me after swatching and checking the gauge I should still have enough for my project. The yarn is on the smaller side, but that is already in the description. It's SOFT. The fabric you end up making when knitting especially is so nice and drapey and the color gives off this light sheen that is just So NICE. I'll definitely be buying this again.

A Christmas gift for the friend that crochets She loved it

This yarn is extremely splitty, but most cotton and viscose/rayon yarns are, so that was expected! Otherwise, it is extremely soft. It tends to pill a bit/get fuzzy and also is quite stretchy with very little recovery. I do not suggest this yarn for a structured garment or anything with negative ease, because it WILL stretch (I discovered this after knitting a tnak top in this yarn that slowly began to fall off my body by end of day). It is lovely for a loose garment for the summer, however, and I've made around 3 lace sweaters for the summer with it before. This was my third time using this yarn and I will definitely buy it again, because for the price, it is an extremely nice bamboo yarn. As a last note, whenever I use this yarn, I sew elastic thread into the collar and it works wonderfully to avoid stretching permanently at the neckline - I do this with my 100% cotton sweaters too and rlly recommend this technique to get the most out of these yarns!

Great yarn, have used it for years. Knit looks very even and is forgiving when your stitches are not all perfect. Be aware that the tread can split and you have not all of the yarn knitted. Check your work ever so often to correct the mistakes. Bamboo soaks up a ton of water when you wash it and gets very heavy.

This is my first time working with bamboo yarn! I made a chicken sweater and this yarn exceeded expectations. Very silky and cool - which was great because my hen is already fuzzy & runs hot. I tried a bunch of weird stitches like tunisian honeycomb for the first time and this yarn worked up quite easily! I probably wouldn't have started learning on it as it is very smooth, but I am still a beginner and it was not difficult at all to use. The color mushroom is a beautiful dusty mauve, very neutral and muted. I love the drape and the overall weight and texture. I would love a whole bedspread out of it one day!

This was my first time using this yarn and I’ll definitely purchase again for future projects. I knitted a camisole and a bikini top with this yarn and i still have a skein remaining. I love the size of the skeins and material is really soft and smooth. The yarn does split a bit when knitting and i did find a knot in one of the skeins I've used so far. I did a simple wet block with no heat and my camisole stretched out nicely and the stitches laid nice and flat. I do feel like the stitches would show up better on a darker colour but overall I'm very happy with how my projects turned out and the mushroom colour is divine!

Lässt sich toll häkeln, einen Punkt Abzug für den Preis

This was my first time trying Lion Brand yarn and definitely not my last! This yarn is amazing, very light and ideal for summer garments with nice stitch definition. It also has a subtle silky finish. Beautiful and so soft!

El color que muestran, no es ni cerca del color que te mandan. Pedí el tono goldenrod porque le combinaba perfecto a un proyecto y no me sirvió

It came cut up several times and very expensive for the size.

Very happy with it, used for my crochet projects
