(3 Pack) Lion Brand Yarn Truboo Yarn, Mushroom

Wonderful, so soft and easy to work with I am crocheting a long jacket so this yarn is perfect

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!

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!

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.

I’m making a sweater with this. Love the color but this yarn tends to split. Best not to let this yarn lay around. But it and use right away. If it lays around it gets dry and splits like crazy. Also tangles a bit. Love the thickness because it’s lightweight and perfect for a summer sweater. It’s cotton so versatility is perfect!

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.

Great yarn. Made a beautifiul baby blanket.

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.
