Wonderful to work with.
Love the color, love this yarn, easy to use. I never have a problem using this yarn or finding the inner end. Its super soft. Never had any issues with the quality and the size is purrrfect. I keep coming back for more of this always looking at the color options and wondering what can I crochet next.

Colors and quality at a great price!!!!
I love this company yarn!! The colors are everything and I make shawls. I have gotten many different colors an and they all turn out stunning. The yarn is soft and not starchy a little thin but I like that because it makes my shawls more draped and perfect for cover ups. @jexo_artz if you have any questions about how to make the shawls 😉

Beautiful Lion Brand acrylic yarn with color changes
I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase one each of several colors of this yarn when it first came out. I wanted to buy more but apparently it is sold-out everywhere until September/October (it is now June.) Because I only had one skein, I developed a diagonal scarf pattern that, for me, shows the color changes and works for my needs. I will include that pattern in the comments at the end of this review for anyone who might want to try it. I was really happy to find that Lion Brand brought out their color change yarn in acrylic and in a size 3 weight (the other brands are currently all worsted weight 4 and at least one includes wool.) I love the drape of a sports weight 3 for clothing items. That they included 590 yards on the yarn cake is also an outstanding plus. The yarn is spun as a cake rather than a skein. That means that pulling from the center is not advisable. You can find the end and try it but eventually you will hollow out the center and have a floppy cake that cannot hold its shape. You can always ball the yarn (and be able to see and deal with any problems you come across. As I like to pull from the center of skeins and don't like to have a cake or ball spinning around on my lap while I stitch, I found and am using a yarn dispenser. There are a number available but this is the one that I found that I like best (though I had to make a small fix to it which is included in my review.) Yarn Dispenser by Yarn Valet - Non-Slip Base with Built-In Holder for Markers, Pattern and 4" Gauge Ruler The color changes are immediate – it does not slowly blend from one to the other. That would also be a beautiful style yarn and I hope Lion Brand comes out with that, too. Maybe Mandala Gradient? However, on Mandala yarn, the changes are abrupt. Personally, I like that. I have two adult daughters that I love to crochet items for. One doesn't like yellow and the other doesn't like pink. With the generous amount of yarn I get on these cakes and the abrupt changes, I can snip out the color they don't like and rejoin the yarn and continue on. I save the color I snipped out to use for the other daughter (if the colors works) or to use in my amigurumi projects. The yarn has a soft feel but has a good twist and substance considering its weight. I've used two different color skeins thus far and have not run into a knot. I fully expect to do so as even the most expensive hand-dyed yarns I own have knots in them from time to time. What I did find was that one of the yarns (Warlock) is more of a heathered yarn than the other one (Phoenix). As I have found with other heather yarn, sometimes the “heathering” is inconsistent with tiny knobs of it showing up thicker from time to time. I keep my sharp embroidery scissors handy and carefully snip off the excess heather “fuzz” when that happens. I'm looking forward to when this yarn is available in quantities once again. I am planning a variety of projects which will utilize the lovely color changes and hope that Lion Brand will come out with more color choices, including some which remain in a color family. I will add photos of the scarves that I finish as I go along and will update this review if I come across any issues.

Yarn color
I ordered the Andorian color, and the yarn was absolutely gorgeous, but it didn't look like the one in the photo. The colors were all in a different order, and one yellowish color just wasn't there at all. So, overall, the yarn is great, but why doesn't it match what I thought it was?

Nice quality yarn
Great quality yarn & colors. I bought this to finish a project and the colors were a perfect match. The yarn arrived in good condition, clean & fresh. No odor. Works up nicely in lighter weight shawls & scarves, for example. Color distribution & fading equal throughout the skein & matches well with the skeins I already have. No nots or variations in thickness in the skein. Would recommend & would purchase again.

Excellent quality for the price.
I purchased this yarn for my teenage daughter who is knitting a full size blanket. The color transition is beautiful, the yarn does not split and is soft to the touch.

Schön weich, gute Farbverläufe
Bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Bobbel. Zum Stricken des Nipote Tuchs habe ich Nadelstärke 4 benutzt. Zwischen zwei Farben ist mindestens 1 Zwischenfarbe. Das Weiß ganz am Ende mit dem Hellblau bildet da noch knapp die Ausnahme. Das war beim erneuten Hellblau auch die einzige Stelle im ganzen Bobbel, wo zwei Enden verknotet worden sind, vermutlich, weil sich ab dort das Farbmuster dann wiederholt. Sehr angenehm, so musste ich am Ende nur den Anfangsfaden, den Endfaden und die zwei Enden der Farbwiederholung beim Hellblau verstricken und das bei so einem großen Tuch (Spannweite ca. 1,70 ungespannt)

Buena lana
Se teje muy bien, tiene una cantidad razonable y no es muy cara. Para un chal normal alcanza. Los colores se combinan y acomodan bien en el tejido.

Lässt sich gut verarbeiten
Der Farbverlauf ist wirklich schön und die Wolle lässt sich gut verarbeiten. Für einen Sommer-Loop-Schal ideal. Für den Winter ein bisschen dünn, aber super weich.
