Great yarn. Love the color variation. It works up quickly into a soft and warm project

For CHUNKY yarn ite great! Works up fast and it's soft. Amazing color that's saturated.

I'm not a big fan of acrylic yarn, but a pattern for children's bags specified this so I tried it. It worked up nicely and very quickly and it was very easy on my hands. It had a few splices in it. I have no idea how it would survive washing and drying.

I made a bag for my headset, and it was very soft. Since it’s bigger than what I usually use. I finished my project fast. The yarn is so smooth and easy to use that I didn’t get irritated when pulling the strings faster to crochet.

Very soft and lasted longer than expected

I ordered it for the rainbow jelly color, it was perfect... until I started using it.  The colors abruptly change, sometimes the two yarns were just tied together.  The quality of the yarn itself wasn't so great either... it changes in diameter randomly, creating uneven stitches, resulting in curling and twisting of the project. (I've tried everything to mitigate it, nothing worked)

I love the weight and colors this yarn had to offer. it really does feel great. However…whenever i got to the lighter colors in the cake they were stained in countless places, making the off white/pink colors impossible to use. It was blotched with dark purple and dark pink. I was trying to use it for a border but was unable. I bought 5 total skeins and all 5 had this issue causing me to spend more money on another yarn type that didnt have this issue. Not sure if it is subject to only “ballet sorbet” but its impossible to hide and made my project look dirty which is unfortunate because i love the feel and colors of the yarn. Attached a couple photos to show but its more frequent dye transfer than shown.

I make a lot of Afghans and this yarn is wonderful to work with! It is smooth and soft, and I really enjoyed it.

Shea

I've been making a continuous granny blanket with this yarn. with only 2 skeins and an 8mm hook, it's almost big enough to be a throw! very soft and squishy. bought 6 more skeins because once this type of blanket starts getting bigger it starts to eat more yarn, so we'll see how big it ends up being? this yarn is well worth the price! 

I gave it 4 stars because there are some spots along the yarn that are thinner than the rest, and it bothers me both to look at and work with. however, if you didn't know what you were looking at, you wouldn't notice. doesn't effect the end result. 

hope you give this yarn a try, the color changes are beautiful in any color variation, but pink is my favorite. 🩷
