Review Of Dream In Color Smooshy Yarn
(3 out of 5)
This yarn is so-so and not something I'll order again. One of the skeins was so badly tangled that I ended up throwing it away and it pains me to throw ANY yarn away! I didn't enjoy working with this yarn. It split too much and the drape isn't that great.
I knitted a shawl using this yarn. It's soft and cushy. It's very pleasant to work with. I used the Gold Experience, Spring Tickle and Strange Harvest, I love the 2 last ones nice subtle variegation and deep rich colors, but I find Gold Experience a bit dull and plain therefore 4 stars instead of 5.
I bought this yarn to make a baby sweater, and it is soft yet durable. Colors are great too! Also, when I was checking out my order, I put in the special notes section to draw an armadillo on the package, to see if they actually review their orders personally. They did! : I will most surely and definitely be buying from Jimmy Beans Wool again. Great yarn, great yarn shop! Thanks!
The name says it all... this yarn is a dream to work with! Soft, beautiful colors.... works up beautifully. One warning, if you happen to have some of the dye come off (bleed)onto your hands, this is an indication that the yarn was not rinsed well, not that it bleeds. I just make it a practice to swish the darker color skeins through some water with a little vinegar in it (enough so you can barely smell it) and then let it dry before you roll it. (This is a good procedure for any dark colored yarn as vinegar sets the color and helps to keep it from fading for many washings.)
