Crochets like a dream. Colour is saturated and vibrant. Just love this! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting yarn *by on Reviewed in the United States 1 November 2024* I'm a bit of a fiber snob and this is the first synthetic yarn I've bought in a very long time. I just couldn't resist the shininess of it for how reasonable the price was. So, here are some thoughts from a fiber snob.Ply - I would not call this a single-ply yarn as it does on the label. The shiny core (which is the acrylic part of the yarn, I'm assuming) is very much a chainette - it's effectively a woven tube. If you use a small crochet hook, you should be prepared to deal with this yarn being a bit "splitty". Constructing the yarn this way adds weight without adding bulk, which is probably why some other reviewers have complained about it seeming thinner than a DK.Weight - Wrapping the yarn around my hook or squishing a strand between my fingers, it feels like a fingering weight yarn. But without crushing the chainette core and leaving it to bounce up on its own, it does look like a DK. I think it's quite nice that it looks like a thick yarn when it's actually lightweight and very squishy. But I can see it being difficult for beginners to work with because your gauge will feel very off.Texture - Compared to common wool yarn, this definitely feels fuzzier and softer, and it doesn't have the scratchiness that wool can have. I'd compare this to a mohair blend yarn. It feels pretty good, especially for the price.Color - The "olive green" is very vibrant and mossy; I've uploaded a video to show how the it shines under a sunny window and under ceiling lights as well. Playing around with the yarn a bit, the colored fibers haven't shed at all, but I haven't worked with it a ton yet.It's gonna be a while until I get around to working with this yarn but I'm excited. It's a pretty cool yarn. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Soft, lovely yarn for the experienced *by on Reviewed in the United States 4 February 2026* Retro-Glam yarns are so soft, and the colors are scrumptious. My photo shows the colors Royal Purple, Bright Yellow and Rose Gold (the scarf). I’m making my mother-in-law an autumn themed shaw, and the subtle shine on this yarn is lovely.Do be forewarned that this fine, kinda fuzzy yarn is fiddly to work with - I wouldn’t recommend it for a beginner. It’s stronger than it looks and is very, very difficult to frog. I am not taking stars off for that, because it is the nature of this type of yarn. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/604166881-retro-glam-metallic-glossy-sheen-yarn-jewel-tone-extra-soft](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/604166881-retro-glam-metallic-glossy-sheen-yarn-jewel-tone-extra-soft) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-09-24*
