Stylecraft Life DK is a yarn that works up beautifully, and customers say it is a pleasure to have in hand from the first stitch.
One reviewer put it simply: "I couldn’t love this yarn more!"
The range is wide, from solid shades to dappled tones, flecks and marls. Reviewers describe a large choice of colours and say the shades look beautifully saturated. One buyer enjoyed the effect of the flecks of different colours in Deep Purple, which adds interest without overwhelming a pattern.
Customers say it knits up nicely and crochets very well. Many describe it as pleasant to handle, and one reviewer said it "knits up beautifully". The finished fabric feels soft to the touch.
Reviewers say it washes well and keeps its shape, and one buyer noted that it isn’t pilling. Many customers mention that the wool content gives a finished piece a good-looking, lasting feel.
Customers have worked it up into Jane Crowfoot blankets and Janie Crow designs, including the Persian Tiles and Mystical Lanterns patterns. Blankets and cosy crochet projects appear again and again in reviews, making this a natural choice for throws and other larger pieces.
Review summary

Summarized by AI
I like the price and range of colours. Plus, I like some wool mixed with the acrylic. I haven't used these colours yet, but I have had this yarn before. I made a harlequin sweater in 12 colours. It was knitted in panels on a knitting machine, and joined by hand.
The yarn is great to crochet with. It came with the Janie Crow Summer Palace Kit. Liked itvso much that i ordered more yarn made a shawl from same pattern
I've used this yarn before and really liked the colour (rose) and the wool feel that this yarn has even though it is a 25% wool/75% acrylic mix. It crochets beautifully and I'm very happy with the finished garment. The yarn was a good price with LovecCrafts, and I would have bought more of the cream colour but they only had one ball in stock, which was adequate for the intarsia on the one garment but probably means I will have to put in another order for the next garment.
The yarn choice is endless and reasonably priced. I bought a 4ply yarn by Cloudborn yarns. It is 100% Alpaca and is beautifully soft. I am making a dress with it but at the moment I am halfway through a jumper so the dress will have to wait!!!
I didn’t expect to find knots in the middle of the balls thankfully I spotted it before I started the row! Colour choice was great and it is knitting up nicely
I bought several skeins of Stylecraft Life DK for a Jane Crowfoot blanket pattern I am crocheting. The order arrived safely and the yarn was beautiful! Beautifully saturated, soft, and generous skeins for a very reasonable price. Because I used wood crochet hooks, I did experience some splitting but am overall very pleased with my purchase. A++!
I bought this yarn for Jane Crowfoot blanket pattern. Price of the yarn was excellent and very affordable. The order arrived very quickly. The skeins are generous, soft, and colorful. I have experienced some splitting while crocheting but not horrible. I use wood Furls hooks because they are so comfortable in my hand and I think the hooks don't slide through the yarn as easily as metal hooks might. Very happy with the yarns and my purchase. A++!
