I am using this the make my first Temperature Blanket. It is so easy to work with! It might seem silly but I love the colors and their names. I live in the Midwest am excited to use Gateway Arch for the border of my blanket. It represents home for me. The other colors represent places I’ve visited. I am excited to start my next project with Lion Brand Feels Like Butta. It is on its way!
I had bought 7 skeins from Joanns to crochet a sweater and noticed halfway thru a panel as I connected two skeins that they didn’t match. 2 skeins were shinier than the other 5 and I needed 6 to complete the project. With Joanns closing and not being able to find the same yarn in person, I took a leap and ordered two skeins hoping they’d match the White Sands I used. I was so relieved that they matched!! What a relief! Thanks Lion Brand! The yarn is so soft, I can’t wait to wear the sweater now that it’s finished!
I wanted to crochet a temperature blanket for both the year I was born and this current year and compare them both. I chose Heartland yarn because of the soft heather colors. I’m most of the way through my birth year blanket and I love how the Heartland yarn is working up. All the colors blend well together.
This is my go-to acrylic yarn. It's super soft and has a beautiful color range that creates a nice depth to each project. It tends to split so I have to be more intentional with my stitches and work a little slower. But the outcome is always beautiful and worth it.
I've used Heartland for many projects and had great success with it. The colors are have been exactly as described and the feel of this yarn is very soft and cushy. The main issue I had with my recent purchase was that there were A LOT of split/cut areas along the length of the yarn. Every three to four feet of yarn (in three of the skeins so far) have had spots where it is "frayed" (for lack of a better word). I keep having to cut the yarn and reattach it with a magic knot because if I leave the pieces that have separated from their other half, I fear that my sweater could unravel or split in those areas after it has been washed a few times. Since I'm having to do this with three of the seven skeins so far, I'm afraid I may not have enough yarn to complete my project due to all the cutting and re-joining I need to do. This is really the first time I've ever encountered this problem, all my other Lion Brand purchases have been great.
Hi Tracy - we're sorry that you encountered less-than-perfect areas of yarn! Please send these photos to our quality control team at support@email.lionbrand.com, along with the dye lot number from your label, and we'll be happy to help.
This yarn is SO soft! Smooth and easy to work with even after I had to undo some of my work 3 times :)
The only thing is in 3 of the 4 balls I’ve used so far, it has been broken on the inside in some places. Not a big problem though.
