Lion Brand Yarn #525 - Mandala - Pack of 3 Niffler

Lovely wool, easy to with with, as described, colourful and good quality

I have purchased several colour ways of this yarn, wood nymph, mermaid, pegasus, chimera, serpent, wizard, sphynx, and have been happy with them all.The yarn feels soft for a pure acrylic and is a pleasure to work both crochet and knit. It's also flexible I've used needle/hook sizes from 4mm to 6mm to achieve different looks.Sometimes I do find a knot join in a ball, this I nothing unusual in my experience (I've found knot joins even in 25g and 50g balls) and is easily dealt with anyway I just remove the knot and attach the yarn as I would for a colour or ball change.All in all good value, lovely to work with, great colours I plan to be using a lot of this yarn :)

Lovely soft wool, great colourways. I am using a 3.5mm hook not the 5mm as suggested by the ball band. 5 felt way to big and the work too loose.I bought the original 2 balls in January and loved the wool but in September I bought one futher ball using 'buy again'. This wool is hard and does not have the same soft drape. It does not feel the same at all. I would not have bought this again. I'm very disappointed.Was this a substitute supplier? Was this really Lion Brand yarn?

Bought to do a baby blanket for my son, who ever the wool is quite scratchy so will properly use for a scarf or something instead. Colours are lovely and crochet well. Just the texture is a disappointment

Yarn arrived quickly and was well packaged. Nice vibrant colour of yarn

Working with this wool by crocheting a lovely baby blanket..I will definitely buy again.

Although I enjoy knitting this yarn up and I like having the colour changes for interest, the last cakes I have purchased have little flecks of random different yarn colour spotting my knitting. This is a shame after the so many hours of work that a garment takes. Also there are knots, but at least I can cut and rejoin at the beginning of a row. The flecks catch me out and remain. In future I will avoid this otherwise attractive Mandala range.

Easy to crochet, love the finished product! Used 3 balls to complete my top.
