The overall feedback is that the yarn is so soft. All of the reviews we found mentioned this, even if they did have some other issue. The colours were another very positive aspect. The shades of Denim have always been seen as neutrals and the tweed effect on most of the colors are an added bonus. This yarn has proven so popular that Lion Brand have added a new range called “Jeans Colors”.
This yarn has works up beautifully for infant and toddler cardigans and pullovers. The sturdy fiber works up to soft and warm layers for little ones. One user was particularly impressed when using it for top-down and other one-piece no-sew designs. Additionally, it doesn’t pill.
“This yarn is just plain wonderful and the colors are fantastic! It is soft and actually feels like your favorite pair of jeans that have the softness that only comes from wearing them.”
Cons
On a negative note, some users commented that it splits quite badly. If your technique is quite loose then you shouldn’t have a problem with this.
The other comment that a user had was that they wished there was a white in the range – this has been covered buy the introduction of the “Colors” range.
The final comments that were a bit negative is the winding technique Lion Brand use is causes difficulties when working from the center of the skein. Two users complained of “yarn vomit” and were frustrated by having to rewind the entire skein when attempting to work from the center.
