Lion Brand Ferris Wheel is a gloriously colourful self-striping yarn with long, blended ombre shades. Customers say the colour changes are gradual, and the shades blend into one another beautifully.
Reviewers describe it as easy to work with. One said it unrolls easily without needing to be wound into a ball first.
One reviewer wrote, "The colours blend into each other so well." Many buyers describe the results as rich and vibrant. Reviewers say that with the right stitch pattern, the long transitions look especially striking when they catch the light.
Reviewers say it works up beautifully. One wrote, "Feels really nice, especially for an acrylic yarn." Others describe it as soft and a delight to work with.
Customers say it makes good hats, and one reviewer made a beanie and neck warmer as a first crochet project. Others have made mittens, afghans, a pocket shawl and the Mountain Throw pattern, which one reviewer said worked out beautifully. Reviewers who made a baby blanket valued how practical it is for everyday care.
Review summary
Most reviewers praise the colours and colour changes, and the soft feel for an acrylic. Many find it easy to work with, and several have made blankets, throws and hats. Complaints are uncommon. A few mention that the thickness varies within a ball or that the yarn runs lighter than listed.

I've used it before and I made a sweater. I'm making afghans for 2 lovely friends with this yarn. I like the colors, and I can count on the yarn to do what I need to when making my own patterns. When I finish putting everything together, then I’ll border the entire afghan in edging it in a ruffled border. Thank you.
This is a lovely soft yarn to work with and the colour changes are very pretty. The reason I’ve given it three stars is because the yarn changes from thin to thick, sometimes very thin and then very thick! I don’t think I’ve ever had that in a yarn. It doesn’t really have an adverse effect on the overall look of the blanket I crocheted on a 4 hook, but at £5.99 for an 85gm ball, unless Lion Brand address this, I don’t think I’d buy it again.
I recommend using the Lion Brand Ferris Wheel for making blankets. I am using it for the Mamma in a stitch October Throw.
I purchased the Mountain Throw. So easy to do and perfectly beautiful so I purchased two more! The yarn is excellent with no splitting! The throw looks exactly like the photo so no surprises. I will most certainly use the pattern to make more in all of the yarn colors. I’m extremely pleased.
I love this yarn and am using it again to crochet a colourful blanket / throw. The colours blend into each other so well. The yarn is soft and a delight to work with.
This yarn is soft and works up beautifully. The colors are rich and saturated. It is for a baby blanket so the acrylic is important for a new Mom as it will be machine wash and dry.
With the ferris wheel yarn I have made a beanie and neck warmer! This was my first project crocheting and very pleased with the yarn.
I usually make prayer shawls from this yarn. Prayer shawl go to folks in crisis or who are ill. They love the shawls made from this yarn. Who doesn't love bright colors when you are down?
Love the beautiful colors and the texture of the yarn. Works up beautifully!
