Coboo Yarn, 1 Pack, Terracotta

ممتاز ولونه وسعره ونوعيته جيده

Muy buen hilo para tejer, con una sola madeja hice un sombrero, el color es tal cual se muestra en la fotografía, sin duda volvería a comprar hilo de esta marca para tejer.

Lovely soft, but not great to crochet with as not twisted yarn and the individual threads make for double loops and hooks split the yarn. Only bought one yarn cake in one colour, but plenty of colours available. It does feel lovely to the touch and is a great thickness so it works away quickly, just need to be aware of the splitting otherwise great yearn to use.

I don't like to crochet with this yarn, it keeps splitting into various strands, which makes it really hard to work with, I have to keep twisting it so that I can crochet properly with it. It is very soft but not pleasant to work with.

The product was really nice, I like Lion Brand products. I was searching for 5 ply yarn and this one came up. However, it was not 5 ply but 3 ply. While looking at it online I couldn't find the actual ply count on the packaging so assumed it was what I needed. Amazon needs to streamline their search processs, this isn't the first product that I have searched that produced products that were not what I was looking for.

I am of intermediate skill and have worked with some pretty darn awful yarns. I'd say this yarn is a love it or hate it kind of thing. The color is nice, the yarn is shiny, moderately priced and it feels durable. (Also easy care) Unfortunately, some such as myself will find it undesirable to work with. I think this is an S on S twist, but the twist is not very tight so its more like working with a plied yarn where it is like thin threads simply held together. This can be a big issue if you want to work quickly or use a slippery hook or needle such as aluminium. This is also more like a sport weight to me, I got the best result using a size E hook. I tried using a 7 and it looked ridiculous, and the G just didn't look right. If this had been a luxury yarn I might have worked through the occasional splits and uneven tension, but I feel this would've been too much of a bother for me. I think I will make something small like a hair scarf instead of the lacy top I had planned and donate any leftover yarn to the local elementary school for crafts. Please don't let my opinion deter you from trying out this yarn as it is not awful. It just depends on what you want to make and what you will and will not put up with.
