(3 Pack) Lion Brand Yarn Truboo Yarn, Thistle

I am The type of person who enjoys making crochet wearables. This yarn is so soft and has a slight shine to it. I made a dress out of mine and the drape is fantastic.

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!

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!

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.

This is a nice yarn. A bit tricky to work with as it tends to split, snag and is slippery. But once I got the hang of it, I had less and less issues with it. I really like the texture. It’s so, so soft. I will be buying more in the future for other knitting projects.

It’s so soft and the perfect weight for baby blankets. I loved it in a different color so I bought this one for another project. My only complaint is that it can be a little wonky to deal with because it separates easier than other yarn I’ve worked with. It was worth the teensy bit of added stress because everything else is so lovely.

This bamboo yarn has a nice sheen and easy to work wirh. Color was not really mushroom. It definitely had pink tones in it. Stitched up nice into a lovely shall.

Great yarn. Made a beautifiul baby blanket.

It’s very fine/silky. I’m making a sweater and so far I love it

Will buy again

DE GRAN SUAVIDAD, EXCELENTE PARA EL TRABAJO REALIZADO

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.
