Mandala String yarn crochet and knit into sample pieces. How well does this yarn work up? What does it feel like? Is this worth the money? Hobby Lobby yarn reset July 2023.
Hobby Lobby is carrying Lion Brand yarn again. New reset, more yarns.
I’ll discuss this new yarn, all specifics on it and do a knit and crochet sample.

You are so welcome! I’ve completed a shawl using this yarn if you were interested in how that looks. It was nice to work with, definitely had a cotton feel. 100% acrylic yarn.

2024 July: this yarn has 13 colors available on Lion Brand’s site. Right now there is a sale 2 for $20 on certain yarns. Mandala String is one of the yarns offered at 4 for $20 😉🥰🧶

@anotheryarn 6 ай бұрын

@@patricecooper8419 The shawl was crochet and I used 2 of the 3 balls. I could have made it a lot bigger if I chose. I also knit (a lot 🥰). When I got this yarn I did some test swatches in knit and decided I liked the crochet better. This yarn although acrylic felt like a cotton yarn. The shawl turned out great. Check out one of my Monday videos to see all the knitting I’ve been up to. Thanks for stopping by and asking a question.

I was at Hobby Lobby today and saw this yarn. I picked up one skein of Jazz, (I always just buy one of a new yarn to make sure I like it). You’re definitely right about the cottony feel. Reminds me of a mercerized cotton. I’ve never used acrylic that has quite this feel. It’s a lot heavier than most acrylics also. I’m glad Hobby Lobby is adding some new yarns. Their downsizing of the yarn aisles has been a big disappointment to us yarn lovers. Not only have they gotten rid of whole aisles, they’ve narrowed them as well so that you can barely get your cart through. Guess they had to make some more room for the ridiculous amount of Christmas stuff they carry! 😢😂

I get it, it was sad, my HL was putting up the Christmas stuff this week along with Halloween and Thanksgiving. The shrinking yarn is a sad thing. I’m the the only yarn “curator”, we know it is selling so what’s up? I agree with the mercerized description, it says acrylic but feels cotton.

You are so welcome! I was so happy to see them expanding their selection more. Michael’s in my are has shrunk so much it unfortunately isn’t worth going (I’m still going 😂). JoAnn’s has been winning the box box store yarns in my opinion right now. Maybe with HL adding yarns back that could change.

Thank you ! I enjoyed the part where you explain your crafter’s journey. I have taught myself to crochet in the pandemic and now I am trying to learn to knit, but two needles AND yarn is a bit much for me…

@anotheryarn Жыл бұрын

I think my crocheting helped my knitting because I already knew how to hold my yarn. You have that part down and are most likely set up for continental style, the way I knit. For a lot of people once they get it, it’s faster. Remember it’s two sticks and some string. You’ve got this!

I really hope people start posting projects made with this yarn soon! I was so tempted to get one today, but had no clue what I'd make with it. I'm wondering, is it worth it to dissect the color changes if using multiple skeins?

@anotheryarn Жыл бұрын

I don’t think it would be. I’m not sure it the original pink was a full stripe from the ball. If it was you would end up with a ton of little balls and lots of ends to weave it.

I’m thinking of trying this for curtains. You mentioned it was acrylic but somewhat characteristic of cotton. Do you think it would be too stretchy for something as large as a 54x80 panel in filet? (I know this is a vague question with lots of variables, but if you jump up & down with a definite “don’t do it,” 😂 I’ll abandon it as a possibility.) Thank you.

@anotheryarn Жыл бұрын

I think that would be a good use for this. It is more of the cotton “string” than a yarn if that makes sense. I was thinking of a knit too but after working on the swatches I think more of a net stitch crochet too/cover up.
