Lion Brand Yarn Company 100 g 100 Percent Acrylic "Landscapes" Yarn Ball, Desert Spring, 545-204,10.25 x 10.25 x 19.78 cm

Gorgeous yarn easy to crochet with and beautiful results so many nice colours

This is not your usual yarn, it is very uneven in places and wound very loosely, like virgin wool. But it is strong. Personally i love working with it and it is one of my favourites. Lovely colour blends and very soft, you either love it or hate it. The fibres remain loose.

I'm dropping one star as it's so difficult to work and I would not recommend for a beginner This is a difficult yarn to knit in that it can split on the needle if you're not paying attention. Giving ugly loops sticking out. If you make a mistake and have to undo a row or two as I did you'll find the yarn clings to itself however patience and perseverance and it was sorted. I am currently working on a scarf for my partner with this yarn and if you use a relatively simple textured stitch (I wouldn't like to try cable stitches!!) and biggish needles 6mm It comes out well. The colour changes are lovely I'm now looking for more of this yarn type for other projects but I'll keep it simple and steer away from using it on double pointed needles as I'm not totally experienced with them. I do think a bit of horses for courses is required I also downloaded the pattern from the Lion web page. So I'm knitting a pattern designed for the wool The patterns all seem to be free so a good source of ideas. I have enclosed a photo of my work in progress. My camera is making it look lighter that it is in reality but you can see the lovely colour gradation and using the simple knit purl pattern i am a bit sorry I promised this to him!!!

Ordered quite a lot as I was making a king size bed cover. It was a little expensive but I couldn’t get the yarn elsewhere & was happy to buy from Amazon, reliable source & delivery was excellent. Great to work with, really soft, colours really popped as the blanket got bigger. Added bonus was the yarn could be machine washed & tumble dried. Win win situation.

Very bright colours! It arrived this afternoon and straight away I had to use it! Made myself a hat but I think I need to buy another ball to make some gloves now as it’s just so nice and soft and bright! The strands split apart quite a bit but it didn’t make a difference to the finished piece.

Gorgeous wool, fabulous colours. Knits up best on large stainless steel needles (will probably stick on wood or plastic) as it can split due to the natural weave, but I didn't find this a problem personally. Best for scarves and hats on big needles as its fairly chunky

One ball is enough for a man’s beanie hat. Used knitting needles 4 mm. First my husband chose these colors, then my dad say the hat and wanted one too. Bought another ball and knitted another hat.

The rich colour range of these Landscapes yarns are stunning. However, as has been mentioned in other reviews, the yarn tends to split when using it for knitting. I'm not sure I agree that it is only a problem for beginner knitters. I have a lifetime of knitting experience, working with all kinds of yarns, and this is one of the most challenging. When the yarn divides you have to re-knit the stitch which means the whole project takes longer to complete. Even with vigilance you may not notice it happening, and will see stitches that have split long after you have completed the rows. This can be remedied by pulling the stray piece of yarn through to the wrong side with a crochet hook. Not good for perfectionists!
