Not worth the money

The yarn is advertised as a #3 sport yarn but is much thinner. The yarn is pretty but tends to split when working slip stitches. It worked for my project but could have been easier to work with.

This yarn is soft - I thought the gloss would make it feel straw-like- but no! Crochets like a dream. Colour is saturated and vibrant. Just love this!

Using this for a special project and it is perfect. Making a knit Deku mask! Then silver stars for a knit black hat.

What to expect: This yarn is beautiful and has a nice shiny glow, but as others have said, it is not for beginners. It took some getting used to, and I find that I have to work pretty slowly. It is very, very soft, slippery, and light as a feather. I have never worked with yarn this light before, so it is a new and tricky experience. I am using it in a crochet project (shawl), but I'm sure I would have the same results with knitting. Don't let it get anywhere near Velcro, because it catches and creates a fuzz mess. That is true for all yarn, but especially this one (I have to wear a hand brace that has Velcro on it).Tangles: I am not having any problems with it knotting while I am working with it, but I definitely had to be careful untangling the yarn barf when I pulled it out of the middle of the skein, using center-pull. I am expecting to have some trouble when I get near the end of the skein as well, but I am not there yet.Size: I agree with others that it is smaller than standard DK weight.Splitting: I haven't had any problems with splitting, but I probably would if I were knitting with it, so just be careful and it will be fine.Beading: I am integrating beads into my project, and it is working just fine for that.Color: The Blue Teal color is definitely more blue than green (it looks greener in the photo than in person) but is still beautiful.I do recommend this for those who have a good amount of experience under their belts with knit and crochet, and who can be very patient.

I have bought this yarn in three colors now, and twice in the colors that I’m showing in the photos. If I see it on sale, I will buy it whether I have a project in mind or not, because although I normally like to work with four weight or thicker yarn, this is so beautiful and the projects come out just stunning.I don’t know if I agree that this is a true DK, it feels almost like a sock weight yarn, it’s closer to a two maybe than a three, but if you’re using it for a shawl like I did, or a scarf, it’s so soft and drapes so beautifully, especially if you use a hook size larger than a yarn of this weight might recommend. I have not had a problem with it splitting. I have not had a problem with it breaking.Absolutely beautiful.

This is exactly as shown. I'm new to crochet, so I purchased this as my first piece (at the time unknowingly that I need a much thicker yarn count (but that's a me mistake). I can't wait to get better skilled with yarn to find a reason to use this one. What a stunning color. Did not disappoint.

Great value for this multi pack, and the jewel colors are amazing! Since it is a 3DK thickness, I used a two strand approach with the baby blanket I made. I used a simple V stitch crochet pattern, and I am just in love with the teal blue. It is a color that would be appropriate for both boys and girls, reminds me of a peacock feather or the scales of a mermaid. So gorgeous in the sunlight. Since this yarn is thinner than worsted weight, it drapes very nicely. If you are a beginner crochet practitioner, you might expect the first few rows to be challenging. It does tangle easily which makes it difficult to pull out stitches that are incorrect. I would suggest using a very simple stitch pattern if you are not used to working with a three DK weight yarn. I am also waiting on an order of this yarn in the rose red color, I am planning to crochet a hummingbird in the amigarumi style.
