Absolutely love the colors on this mandala yarn, but the size was a struggle. I also don't love the texture of this worked up, and despite it's small size and light weight, it feels bulky and almost too structured built up. Also had a hard time finding the end inside the ball. Tangles VERY easily.
I bought the color "soul" and loved it. However, it tangled so easily that it was impossible to unravel. So, I started on another skein -and got the same results. I'm not sure what to do with the other five skeins at this point. Totally discouraged.
Hi Rita - we're sorry you're having trouble with this yarn! Wrapping something around the outside of the ball, or leaving the label on, while you use the inside end seems to work the best with this yarn. As you use more yarn and the skein gets hollow in the middle you can use a yarn ball holder, or cut the cuff off a sock, to keep tension on the ball and squish it back together. Using the outside end seems to result in the most tangles, as the yarn will slide and get caught on itself, so we recommend avoiding that if at all possible.
The yarn is beautiful. I feel there should be more muted classsic colors. I also think the recommended size hook for the yarn seemed too big, but when I tried with a smaller yarn, I was constantly “ popping “ the stitches as I worked. Maybe that’s why they recommend the larger hook?
Final product is worth it. I’m making it into a pillow cover.
This yarn is easy to work up and the colorways are gorgeous. I made the TL yarn crafts kelli bias scarf and get so many compliments when I wear it!
I haven’t worked with this weight of yarn much, but I’m using it to make an infinity scarf. The feel is wonderful, soft & light, & the color transitions are so nice. Can’t wait to use it this fall!
Currently working up the Country Sunset Top. Loving the pattern and the yarn color effects so far, BUT, the yarn itself is very hard to work with. The skein falls apart on itself no matter if inside pull (which is a huge yarn barf) or outside pull. I have spent countless hours untangling. I caked my remaining skeins and hit took me several hours!!!! If LB can solve that problem , I will change to 5 stars!!!!
