Lion brand botanical yarn review
Don't do it. They were on sale before Christmas on the lion brand website. Usually they made good quality yarn but this was such garbage, don't believe those positive reviews on that site. I picked up 2 bundles of 100% Tencel Lycocell walnut color (they discontinued most of the colors so you won't find this color anymore, just 2 other colors are still being sold). It is meant for knitting a cardigan.
Pros: it has a silky feel to it, drapey, and looks and feels good to the touch. Environmental friendly.
Cons: snag easily. Like super easy! I run my fingers through the yarn, I had a small rash on my finger from eczema and it snagged the yarn pulling a piece of thread out. I never worked with yarn this sensitive before. If your needle accidentally snagged or split the yarn, guess what... That loose thread is going to be sticking out like a sore thumb and it's a pain to get rid of (I can't cut it, I have to tie a separate small brown thread from my embroidery kit to the loose yarn thread against the body of the project so it doesn't stick out anymore). And you will split the yarn a LOT. I think it will more controllable if I crochet instead of knitting, but it's still a nightmare to work with. The yarn is also very very smooth.. so smooth that it easily slips out of your needles if you are not careful and can be a pain to work with at the start.
I hate this yarn with a passion of a thousand suns as much as Heart Saver yarn. And I can't return this to lion brand, sigh so I have to use up this yarn and finish the cardigan. If you like a challenge, go for it and give it a try. I think lion brand also knows this is crap yarn and have discontinued 90% of their colors for a reason.
