Is this acrylic or a blend?

According to what I’ve read, it’s 100% acrylic, but very thin, and had some issues with it unraveling.

How similar is this to the retired lion woolspun? i need to finish a woolspun blanket.

This is very thin and with a velour texture. It was used to crochet a small bumble bee. I'm not familiar with the other yarn.

Has anyone tried to use this yarn to make a Afghan? Does it work for that kind of project?

Yes it does. The yarn is soft and light. I myself am crocheting an Afghan with this yarn

Coordinating pink with light pink and ombre.

Making a blanket for my granddaughter, she asked for pink. Love the contrasting dark and light pink and the pink ombre that was available.

I love love love this yarn

It patterns beautifully when knitted and it's super soft on the hands. I haven't washed any of the items...but I did a hat and scarf set as a xmas gift, I'm doing a temperature blanket for 2020 in it and I amassed a significant stash of it because I buy it every time I find it for 2.99 or less
