Great for knitting scarves
It is easy to knit with and has lovely colours. I'm using it for a scarf. It's good and the pattern shows the colours off well.

I'm using the yarn I ordered for an afghan - they have had the yarn every time I ordered it. I really like working with this yarn. It's Lion Brand Mandala in the color Warlock. The colors in this yarn are beautiful and it's easy to work with. I have already bought more colors in this yarn for future projects.
Nicely soft, crochets with great stitch definition, launders up well. Colors do not run which is a plus! Color changes are subtle vs abrupt like other brands. I found only 1 connector knot in one of the cakes! Other brands have at least 3 to 5.
First time using Mandala by Lion's Brand. Can't always find colors requested in a pattern at my favorite stores. If I can't find it in stores, I turn to websites. This time, had the color stated in the crochet magazine, plus at a good price. So I bought another color to make one for myself. The other color is for a birthday present for my sister.
Delivery was fast and the yarn was packed great. Can't wait to start on my project.
I’m making a shawl and a blanket trying out a couple of new stitches which is working well. Soft wool
Love the color and easy to work with, i am in the process of crocheting a summer top and love how the colors are working in the pattern.
Couldn't find the yarn I needed on Amazon as they were totally out of stock and it was getting down to the wire to finish my project before my nephew was born. Thanks to LoveCrafts for having the yarn I needed I was able to complete the blanket and have it sent to mom and dad before baby was born! Also, this yarn is super soft and plenty stretchy for all kinds of projects, Lion Brand has been a household favourite for decades!
The colors are beautiful and work up nice and clean.
Live Caron and ss dk it crochets up very nice .
