Best worsted weight yarn I've ever worked with! I'm new to my crochet journey, but I've caught on quite quickly. In the past year, I've experimented with many different yarn types for sweater, blanket, and amigurumi projects. This yarn has created such a soft and warm waffle stitch blanket. I haven't had to wash it yet, so I can't speak on the wear of the fabric, but so far the fibers have been magnificent to the touch! I bought more to create a similar waffle stitch sweater. Great for beginners!

The Shine Worsted in the Sky color is so beautiful that I bought another yarn from you that was called Sky, but it wasn't as dark. I love this blue and hope to use it as an accent color in a Granny Square item that I plan to crochet.

The Shine Worsted yarn is soft and squishy. It feels wonderful. I like this Apple Green because everyone needs a good light green,

The wool was exactly the colour i was expecting and i was able to finish the blanket I was crocheting for my newest grandson. Although it took a bit longer to get here than i was hoping, it looks great with the colours i used with it.

I love this yarn! It is so soft and looks beautiful. It can be a little splitty, but it's worth it and is generally nice to crochet with. The lacy scarf that I made blocked beautifully using the spray method. The yarn does shed a little, but I've seen worse. My main complaint is the size of skein; please, please, please sell bigger ones. After making a baby blanket, I will now be spending the next 20 years weaving in ends.

I love the way this yarn works up and holds it's shape. Is also very soft as I prefer natural fibers. I only gave it a 4 star because the colors are not true to the pictures. I ordered the blush (light pink) and is very much a dark pink. Not at all the blush color I was looking for and hoped for but since time was of the essence, I used it anyway.

This yarn is so soft to the touch and a joy to crochet with. The color I purchased was exactly what I had hoped it to be.

Pretty, soft yarn that works up with excellent stitch definition, good structure without being too stiff. I ordered Pistachio, Reef and Grapefruit. The first two look exactly as I imagined they would based on the photos as represented by my tablet. The Grapefruit shade is quite bright - almost more traffic cone than tropical fruit! It's pretty but it's much stronger than the other two shades. I'm a little disappointed by that and am not sure if I should seek a different shade for my project. Will have to think about it. I like it! And it's a cute combo. But I'd rather go with something a little more understated, I think.

This is my favorite yarn for baby blankets! I knit my daughter a chevron baby blanket with this yarn (in dandelion and cream), and 2.5 years later it still looks awesome!! Minimal pilling, very strong, machine washes (and machine dries) like a champ. Color-fast. So soft! I remember it shed some at first but it wore off after a while. Seriously. Best baby yarn ever. Great for gifts by you don’t have to worry about laundering instructions.

This is one of my favorite yarns to work with. It is incredibly soft, and has a lovely, subtle shine. I used it to make a basic, cropped pullover that fits with negative ease. I've had no issues at all with the garment growing, and wear the sweater multiple times before washing it. When it comes out of the washer and dryer, it looks as nice as when it went it. No issues at all with pilling or fuzz. I'll definitely be buying more for similar projects!

I love this yarn! I have washed and dried my projects in the drier and have not had the pilling problems others have mentioned. I HAVE occasionally had the ends pop out, but that happens with cotton yarn. I agree that it would be great to have this yarn in larger skeins.

I used this yarn to crochet a baby blanket for my nephew. The yarn was BEAUTIFUL and very easy to work with. My pattern had some challenges so I ripped stitches out a few times but felt that the yarn held up to being reused. The colors I received matched the colors I saw online. The yarn is soft and the weight was perfect for my project. As far as how well it hold up to use, I cannot say. The blanket I made is a bunch of fox heads that were then stitched together. My brother and SIL won't actually use the blanket because they are afraid of ruining it, so it's used as decor over the back of a rocker, and hasn't experienced any wear and tear. I can say though, that I'd happily use it again.

I love everything about this yarn! It is soft and knits up well, blocks well and washes up wonderfully. It doesn't fade or pill either! I would love to see it in a BULKY weight. I use this for all of my baby blankets but some patterns call for bulky yarn and I have to find another kind to use.

This yarn is wonderful! It feels really good against the skin and the Macaw color is gorgeous if you are seeking a true green. I wish this yarn came in more vibrant primary colors but the selection is still good.

I love this soft silky yarn. I've just made a scarf for my niece using it, and I know she will love the feel. I will probably advise her to hand wash and hang dry, though.

I bought this yarn to make a baby blanket for my friend. The pattern I use calls for a basketweave stitch, and just like the description says this yarn is excellent for showcasing unique stitches! It was easy to work with, and even though I had to frog the blanket TWICE before it was done, I still didn't have any trouble with splitting or pilling.

Love Shine Worsted yarn -- the feel and drape of this is baby soft. The colors are soft and coordinate very well together. I made the baby blue blanket in 5 shades of purple for my granddaughter and it turned out lovely! I picked this yarn for the natural fibers and that it was being used for a baby blanket. I expect that it will become a favorite. Wish there were more colors and maybe a 100 gm ball. Absolutely 5 stars overall for this yarn!!!!

I bought this yarn just for dish and washcloths--for me and my family. I am very impressed with the feel, look and softness of it. My fingers are crossed that the yarn will not "fuzz" but for me, it probably doesn't really matter. I think dishcloths won't mind. Still--hope this will become my favorite "dish and Washcloth yarn."

I ordered black, white, robot, and serenade of this yarn to make a crocheted scarf. It worked wonderful for crocheting. However, I did have to use 4 skeins of this for one scarf (62" long, 6" wide; using sc stitch), but the cost is low enough that I don't mind. Black, white, and robot were pretty close to their promo photos, but serenade was a tad darker in person. Overall I really enjoyed this yarn and will purchase again!
