JubileeYarn Soft and Slim Yarn - 50g/Skein Bamboo Rayon Wool Blend - Cotton Candy - 2 Skeins

This stuff is a fantastic and highly versatile yarn -- soft, almost slippery, deliciously drapey, lovely squish if worked dense enough, gorgeous in both double stockinette and in crochet lace. It shimmers under nearly any kind of light, and outright glitters under strong enough light. Put it in shadow and the depth of color is wonderful, with a persistent sheen wherever any light catches. Heavy wear and washing has so far only made it softer, and when it's accidentally gone in with high spin hot water loads it's come out perfectly fine, with no felting or color bleed. It's been one of my favorites since I first opened the package, and I've liked it better the longer I've used it. No yarn, however, can do everything, and this is no exception. Things to be aware of before buying: - This is a LIGHT FINGERING / superfine / Category 1 yarn. This means it is very thin, and the skeins are very small. It's thicker than heavy lace-weight, but it is definitely finer than the average sock yarn; you may or may not get gauge for a pattern written with standard fingering or sock weight. On which note... - This is NOT a sock yarn. Good sock yarns have a lot of springiness and memory to them, so that they bounce back after being stretched instead of sagging around your feet; they also don't tend to have much drapiness. I've made socks with this yarn, but they're for wearing in bed, as actually walking in them for an hour is enough to have them sagging pitifully into the shoes. - This WILL have some degree of shimmer at pretty much all times. Under bright enough light it can very nearly hide even quite dark colors. This is great if you want something that seems to change colors as you move between different light sources (or just move at all!), but a major drawback if you want your project to look consistently colored at all times. - It's a wool/viscose blend, and so has only some of the qualities of each. It's nowhere near as warm as 100% or even 80% wool, especially when wet; it's great for cool to warm times of year, or for climate-controlled indoor areas, but don't expect to wear it as a sweater in snow or freezing rain without several extra layers. - In the same vein, it is neither as grippy as wool nor as slippery as smooth viscose. Don't plan on projects that require friction in order to function; it stays put better than satiny or silky fabrics, but your bird, cat, or other small shoulder-pet will have trouble perching on it. I think that covers most of what I've seen in the comments. It's amazing if you're looking for an extra fine (thin) yarn with lots of sheen, lots of drape, super soft, quick to wick and to dry, that can go in the laundry with no trouble. If that's your project? Go for it!

Nice yarn.

So far so good. I am nearly done knitting up a pair of baby tights with this. It is beautiful in sheen, color & texture. Just right stretch & strength and knits well. Seems likely to be very warm and super for our sensitive skin gal.

Great for socks! Lovely pattern of colors, too!

Pretty, fairly soft, but much less yarn than expected. Will update after knitting if needed. Update: NO. Yarn ravels and splits. There are tons of knots. Total PITA yarn.

love the content of the yarn, wool makes it warm but not too much because of the bamboo nylon gives it some stretchiness. it was pleasure to the touch to knit, however noticed that it splitting a little bit which is manageable. skeins appear kind of small for this weight 50g, however it is long thread.

I bought this because I was looking for a different sock yarn. The price point is good. However, the yarn itself feels funky. It's very plasticky and just feels weird.

This yarn is beautifully soft and easy to knit with. The colors complement each other so well and they pattern/stripe nicely (no weird pooling). They knit up beautiful, comfy socks. I knit using size 1 needles. Great quality without knots or frayed areas. I will definitely get more in other colors.

Parfaite bien hâte de les tricoter
