YarnArt Flowers Gradient Cotton Cake Yarn, 1094 Yards, Color 271-1 Pack

This made a beautiful shawl! I used a 5mm hook, even with this being very thin, maybe fingering weight. But it turned out so pretty!! It was really big, though. I had to skip a little bit of the yarn here and there to get to the end colors without the shawl turning into a blanket. I wish I would’ve skipped a bit of the purple at the beginning to be honest, but all in all I was very happy with this yarn! I tried the scheepjes yarn first and made a shawl with it, and I loved it but yarn art is cheaper so I wanted to try it out and compare the two. In my opinion, the color transition was smoother on the scheepjes whirlyarn, and I was more of a fan of the feel of the scheepjes I think, but that’s really just personal preference. The scheepjes is 60% cotton/ 40% acrylic, where the yarn art is 55% cotton/ 45% acrylic. The yarn art is a bit softer I think but I preferred the 60/40 blend of the scheepjes slightly more. However, I do absolutely love this yarn and I will purchase again.

Great quality yarn! It’s soft, pleasant to work with, and very easy to crochet. I really enjoyed using it and I’m very happy with the result. Highly recommend!

I love this light weight summary yarn. The color transition runs so seamless and smooth from one to another. Slight splitting but hardly a problem when using the right needle. This is the perfect yarn for a spring or summer shawl, 1 ball is more than enough. I will definitely be repurchasing.

Liked the result so much I bought another roll. Of course it can be splitty, because of how it is made, the threads are not twisted together, but you get used to it. Liked the gradient being gradual.

I bought this as a cheaper alternative to one of those really expensive fingering yarn wheels we all know and love.It does the job at half the cost of the other yarn, but there are a couple of things that it's good to know going in:1. The color transitions are not nearly as smooth. While they did do the 1-strand-at-a-time transition, most of the colorways of this yarn go immediately from a very dark yarn to a significantly lighter yarn at the first transition, so you get a kind of dotted stripy look in your finished work instead of the smooth, dark-to-light transition you get with other brands. If this is ok with you then it shouldn't present a problem. I've included a photo of the transition as it happened so you can see for yourself how the finished product might look.2. Like is often the case with less expensive yarns, you will run into quite a few "cut and knot" spots in each skein, which can be frustrating. You get what you pay for. However, you might want to take that into consideration when planning your project, especially if you cut those often slippery knots and make your own for security. It can reduce the total length of the wheel.Overall, the size and length of the yarn are compatible with competitors, and it's not a bad yarn to work with. I actually found that it was less "splitty" to work with than some of the more high-end brands, which was nice. The spin is nice and tight.

I flipping love this yarn! I looked high and low for a replacement for “Its A Wrap” yarn by RedHeart because of course they discontinued it. This is the perfect replacement for that yarn. I would ask that the gradient be more dramatic though and less filler with a boring grey or cream color ya know ? It feels like you could be a bit more generous with actual color in the gradient. But it feels exactly like It’s a wrap, very smooth and soft. No knots whatsoever which was a nice surprise

Gorgeous yarn, exactly what I was expecting. Works up nicely. Arrived on time.

This yarn is very soft and much more affordable than its high-end cousin, scheepjes. The gradient is nice and slow, although the ends of the new strands are tied rather than being joined like scheepjes. It doesn’t split and is easy enough to work with until you get about half to two-thirds through the center pull skein. That’s when the yarn babies become plentiful. This is the 6th skein I’ve ordered and worked with and it’s always the same. One project, a child’s dress, I had to scrap because the center pull tangle was so extreme I couldn’t work through it without cutting and rejoining multiple times. It may be different if you rewind the skein yourself, so you can make sure it’s not tangled in the center.It’s high quality yarn, washes well, works up beautifully, but the center tangles are so frustrating that it’s almost worth spending the extra money for scheepjes to save your time and sanity.

Beautiful cotton with fabulous colour gradients. I have used it for a blanket of nine squares. 3 12 inch squares per ball. Its fineness is suitable for lace like patterns. It is modt similar to Sheepjes Whirls, but more affordable.

A lovely soft yarn, easy to crochet with, fabulous colours long, gradual colour changes. I love it!

Making a shawl, a little bit harder to work with than expected as yarn splits easily. Suggest pointed crochet hook, or smaller size than recommended. Love the colours.
