AlizeDiva Microfiber Acrylic Yarn - Silk Effect Thread for Crochet & Lace Craft - Lot of 2 Skeins, 200gr, 767 yds (Caramel)

This isn't a "like" or "dislike," but more informational. It's HARD to know what a yarn is really like without being able to see it! I used to use a lace-weight or slightly thicker yarn, which was sort-of fuzzy and had some loft, for a lot of baby projects. It's discontinued, of course, and I've had trouble finding a substitute that is acrylic (for those with wool/natural fiber allergies) and of the right size. (Omega Crys may be a little TOO thin.) This is working okay for my current project, which is a baby sacque/jacket, but it seems more of a "thread" than a "yarn." Imagine a thick mercerized crochet cotton (or silk, the name gives it away) that has a little more loft and better drape/heavier weight than cotton....or something between that and sock-yarn. I keep thinking this thread might be good for something like those crocheted snowflakes and angels for Christmas, but I think you'd have to starch it pretty heavily. Again, this is NOT a negative review. There are lots of uses for this type of thread/yarn. I know my pattern sample looks pitiful, but it's unblocked (and you can see my "lifeline" which was done in a beautiful light-pink color that I may use for part of the jacket.) The lower edge was worked on size 2 needles, switching to size 3. Again, this is just to help you make an informed decision before your purchase.

This product seems fine but beware, if you need to return it the "free" option is only useful if you have a UPS store in range. I would have to drive a couple hours to find one so I am paying for the return. You are not told this ahead of time.

Easy to use. Very good looking.

Very good yarn I like it
