Wool-Ease® Aire Yarn

NOT FOR BEGINNING CROCHETERS

This beautiful yarn sticks to itself mercilessly. I still don't know if it's best to pull from the inside (major "yarn barf") or outside (constantly shaking the skein to pull the yarn off of itself). Either way, if it gets tangled I've decided that my sanity isn't worth the fight and I cut the resulting knot (s). It took me a bit to figure out how to work with it, but crocheting with it is challenging. You can't easily see your stitches, but I've found that holding my work up to a bright light helps define them a little better. As I said, the yarn is beautiful and soft. Originally I was going to make slippers with them, but I'm pretty sure the yarn won't hold up to that type of wear (it's hand wash only and it's construction is acrylic fibers woven into a piece of thread) so I'm making a sweater instead. If you decide to give it a try, be sure to order extra so you have room for knots.

Beautiful, but tempermental

This yarn makes for beautiful finished items, but it can be hard to work with, especially if you need to undo anything…

Disappointed

I bought this yarn online and have huge regrets. I also think the recommendation for the blanket is terrible because the yarn recommends hand wash and air dry. Who does that with a blanket? Anyway I bought a ton of it, thinking that I would try the blanket pattern recommended from this yarn and NOPE. It's like a string that has feather fibers wrapped around it. Forget about frogging; it just gets tangled and has to be ripped or cut so only 100% accurate stitches please. That's not me. I did have some hope after reading some other reviews that it's workable with practice. I hate to have wasted so much money so I will attempt again. I do not recommend.
