Lion Brand Ferris Wheel Yarn-Carousel -217-600

Love it. Beautiful colours and texture.

The colour transitions are not overly long so best suited for smaller projects. It doesn't split easily when knitting. Good value.

This thin and somewhat schlubby yarn is a pleasure to work with! The yarn does not tend to split but it does stick to itself. Mistakes are somewhat difficult to undo because of this. I have torn this yarn many times while attempting to frog it. I would not recommend this yarn to someone who is new to crochet and still making a lot of mistakes. That being said-- this yarn is gorgeous. The colors are vibrant and the self-striping works like a dream.

This yarn is worsted weight 4 but feels slightly lighter. Not as light as a 3 but somewhere in between. There is a bit of "fuzz" that can get tangled if you need to frog your project. Otherwise easy to work with. The thread stays wound nicely. Instead of being dyed different colors, twisted threads are actually different colors so the blending is beautiful in your finished project. I used this to make cat ear beanies (basic rectangle using a hdc stich) and was able to make 3 with one cake plus left over. Super soft and cozy warm. Since this is acrylic it is also machine washable in cold water and can be dried on low or delicate. No fabric softness softener or the fibers get a film that looks dingy. Air drying tends to make acrylics stiff but it's an option. Overall I'm very pleased with this yarn and the color selection. Already bought 2 more colors and plan to get more. Lion Brand yarns are my favorite (especially the Jeans)

While the colors are very pretty and form rows of a single color over a width of about 90 double crochet stitches, the yarn weight varies greatly from maybe a 2 to definitely a 6 and is a nightmare to frog which I’ve had to do frequently for the project I’m making. It’s so bad that I just put aside the cake I was working from until I had the patience to undo everything since the yarn tends to snag itself badly enough that I ended up just cutting it at one point. Because the yarn gets so thin at points I’m afraid I’m going to end up breaking it when pulling it apart from itself during frogging and I’ll lose a significant amount of yarn due to the combination of the light weight and a very bad snag that I won’t be able to undo. I’m concerned that the 4 cakes I bought to make a wrap won’t be enough due to these issues and I really don’t want to have to buy more just to do the project. As it is, I likely won’t be buying this yarn again for any other projects
