Lorna's Laces Sportmate Yarn - '13 October - Once Upon A Time
'13 October - Once Upon A Time shown

Sorry, but specific product you requested is not currently available. Hopefully you can find another option below.

Sportmate, the sport-weight sister to Lorna's Solemate, is a glorious blend of scrumptiously soft superwash merino and silky smooth Outlast viscose, a smart-fiber that interacts with your body's microclimate and regulates temperature. This high-tech fiber is used by the likes of NASA and Ferrari!

Use this gorgeous yarn for summery shawls to ward off that evening chill, or for lightweight cardigans you can wear at the office to avoid the bite of an over-active air conditioner. Sportmate is perfect for any knit or crochet project and comes in many of your favorite Lorna's Laces colorways!

Overall Sportmate Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars (4.7 based on 49 reviews)

Beautiful! 5 out of 5 stars (5 out of 5)
Knits up, handles and washes well. As I have only ever air dried my hand-knitted items, regardless of the what labeling indicated, I have always experienced wonderfully long lasting results with this yarn. To those who have reported ONE knot per skein: it's industry standard for 3 knots per ball/skein of yarn. Otherwise yarn companies/dyers would be running into a lot of waste. It's also a great reason to rewind all yarn, even those that come in pull skeins.

I purchased this in the Black Watch colorwY, which is just stunning. This yard has a beautiful hand and sheen. It makes for very pleasant knitting.

Lucscious 5 out of 5 stars (5 out of 5)
Soft and lofty, the Sandy Goes colorway is also a great - lovely combination of hues. Winding was also a breeze - a treat to not mess with tangled skeins.

Could be great, but.... 3 out of 5 stars (3 out of 5)
Although I like the yarn, what upsets me is the knots. This is my 3rd time using this yarn, in 3 different colors. Each time I had pesky knots, from one and up to 3 knots in every skein used! WHY is this? It is pricey yarn. Never had this with the other Lorna's Laces Yarns. My last order was 4 skeins of Child Play. I am using my second skein of this order, and, had 1 knot in EACH skein thus far. I am so disappointed, because I like the feel of the yarn, stitch definition and wear of the garments made with it. Did send a message directly to Lorna's Laces, but thus far NEVER had a reply from them. Not good customer service. Perhaps some one from JBW's Customer Service could take this up with Lorna's Laces? I am SURE that I am not the only one with this experience. ICE in NJ
