10-Pack of Yonkey Monkey Fingering Weight Yarn - 70% Rayon derived from Bamboo, 30% Cotton - Imported - Christmas Green 9064

Storm is the perfect grey knitting yarn! I have been looking for this color in a superfine fingering yarn for many years. It is not a beginner’s yarn as it splits easily, but once you get the hang of it, it’s no problem. I love this yarn. It is so soft and knits beautifully.

I really like this yarn. I don’t find it to be splitting as some other people have said the color is vibrant and it works up very soft. It’s not quite sport weight and it’s not quite lace weight, it kind of falls in between so if you are using a pattern that calls for sport weight, you might have to adjust it accordingly. I personally, don’t feel that is a problem. The price is great and I believe the quality is great as well.

I crochet. I do not knit. I know there's a difference in how the yarn is wound that makes it better for one or the other. So I have a love/hate relationship with this yarn. The positives: great value for the money. You get quite a bit of yarn for the price, and each pack comes with coupons. I made a smallish top and used 5 skeins out of 10, so it's more than enough for a project unless you're making something really large. The drape is *gorgeous*. It washes well (cold water in a garment bag). It feels amazing to wear and looks expensive. I'd compare the drape and sheen to Truboo. The colors are deep and beautiful; I've worked with soil, pea green, and cyan, and all are gorgeous. The neutral: the package says worsted weight. It is NOT, on any planet, a worsted weight yarn. It's very similar to a 2 yarn I'm using for another dress. I knew to expect this from pictures and reviews so it's fine but it's worth knowing to adjust your expectations. Fwiw, my favorite 4/worsted is Simply Soft. Favorite 3 is truboo, and this is thinner than truboo, but not by a ton. The lighter colors are thinner. I have the soil color and the pea green color and they're both light so they're thinner; the cyan I'm working with now is a little thicker, which is normal across brands that bolder colors are a little thicker because of the dye. The negative: it's SO SPLITTY. It's not for beginners and there's a learning curve to working with it. I had to adjust the way I hold the yarn to account for the slippiness of some colors. You'll want to leave extra long tails to weave in because of how it splits, and joining with it is a bit tough if you're using a tapestry needle because it wants to spin out and loosen up. All that said, I'll keep buying it. It's an adjustment to use, but it's just so darn pretty and soft and lovely for the price.

I have read the reviews of which there are a number complaining about the yarn splitting. That is par for the course when it comes to using bamboo yarn - all bamboo yarn I have ever used splits. I've tried several different brands, and they are all the same. It's just something you get used to when you use bamboo yarn. Another complaint is that it is thinner than described, and I would agree with that although that has not personally been an issue for me with my first project. I will simply adjust my patterns accordingly when working with it in the future. In regards to the final complaint of pilling, I personally have not experienced that yet as I am still working on my project and have not washed it; but I will keep it in mind and use this yarn for projects where a little "fuzz" doesn't matter. For me, I love this yarn - the softness, the drape, the colors - it is all beautiful and a wonderful price for the quantity! I can't wait to buy more of the colors for future projects!! My only potential caveat to this yarn is that I don't know how the color holds up after washing. The answer to that is my only uncertainty. Otherwise, I love it and would highly recommend it to anyone willing to put up with the splitting issues which one has to deal with when working with any bamboo. I will be buying more!

At first I thought I was going to love this yarn because it is so soft. I've knit and crocheted with other bamboo yarns before so I knew to expect that it might not be the easiest to work with, but I wanted the drape that bamboo provides. Like other bamboo fibers I've used, this has a tendency to split. It is slippery and extra care must be used to ensure stitches don't get dropped because if they do, rows can unravel quickly. This yarn offered nice stitch definition for the intricate pattern that I'm working on. However, I can't recommend it and I fear I'm going to have to rip my progress and start over with a different yarn because this is fuzzing so badly. The lovely stitch definition in the twisted knit ribbing and cables is being lost with the heavy fluff that is starting to cover my work. The amount of yarn for the cost would have been an incredible value is it weren't for this fuzzing. I've never had a bamboo or cotton yarn fuzz like this, making me question the fabric content. It behaves more like a bamboo acrylic blend.

I am always skeptical buying yarns online, you cant feel it so you take a chance every time. I was pleasantly surprised. This yarn knit up wonderfully, soft and airy. These photos were taken before I did a light steam blocking to open up the lace and smooth things out a bit.

Fil très doux et facile à travailler .laver à la main et sécher à plat

It is soft yarn, thread is smaller than the look in the picture, suitable using hook 3 mm. During my work, thread tend to split (separate) if not hook properly, May not be suitable for beginners.

The yarn is very beautiful, soft and smooth. Suitable for knitting summer wears. However, yarn is thin and slippery on the needles, so will not recommend for beginner knitters

Very disappointed. It's lovely yarn but out of the 7 balls I've used, 3 of them were full of knots and frayed yarn.

Knitting project. Easy to work with. Soft and lovely color (camel). Received lots of compliments regarding the quality of the yarn as I was knitting. Please have cream, or natural (off white) color yarn as an option.
