Walimpex Yarn: Premium Quality 100% Acrylic Multicolor Yarn - Mixed (20x12.5g)

So by the most technical standard, this is yarn. But it is the cheapest and worst quality you could ever buy. I blame myself a little because I should have known by the low price that it would be bad but a girl can hope. I was not even going to leave a review until I started receiving a barrage of emails from the product maker telling me how great their products are and blah, blah, blah. Anyway, if you want to get a bunch of super tiny balls of dollar store quality yarn and then receive a bunch of emails about how great those tiny balls of yarn are...then, yes, you should order this product.

I bought this yarn to make purses. I usually use my scraps but this collection provided a nice variety. I do agree with other reviewers that the photographs of the product are a bit misleading. The mini skeins are smaller than I thought, it would be great if they were larger. In the past I've used yarn bonbons, those are about 7 g each. In the mixed set each ball weighs about 12 g. This is a really good deal for the money if you consider that you would spend a lot more to get the equivalent number of bonbons. Other reviewers have raised a valid point that the yarn is a bit scratchy, I agree. However I'm using this to make purses so the texture of the yarn really doesn't concern me. If I was going to use this yarn to make wearable items I would just hand wash the finished product in a mix of water and hair conditioner this will soften the yarn.

The package arrived torn open and it was easy to see that 2 of the skeins of yarn had been taken out and then stuffed back in. The yarn itself is scratchy and the skeins smaller than advertised. I won't be ordering anything more from walimpex.

This is the most brilliant idea ever- tiny skeins of yarn. I make catnip mice and not much yarn is needed for each mouse so this tiny assortment is perfect. The cat owners love variegated yarn, so it's a win all around. I don't know why no one has thought of this before but I'm glad that someone thought of it now. I have already ordered more.

These are perfect for the crafts I want to Do! If you have a small project in mind then this is perfect for it, you get enough on one skein to do a project with more skeins to either add to it or start another one. The yarn is soft, the colors are vibrant and there is enough mix bbq of colors for projects that are either good for a boy or girl.

Looking at this picture and having bought yarn many times, one would think that you get an ample amount to at least make something. I am a teacher and will be teaching a crocheting class to 10 year old girls. Each of these skeins holds the smallest amount of yarn. Wound into a ball, each skein makes a GOLF BALL size ball. What can one really make with that? So disappointed! I live overseas and my husband brought them back from a business trip. What a waste of money! RIPPED OFF!

I agree with other reviews of this yarn. I was delighted to find these small bits in varigated colors but the weight is NOT DK (sport, #3). The weight is closer to #4. Hard to knit with, especially with bamboo needles, since it is rough.

Nice for small projects, for things that aren't to be worn. The yarn is a bit scratchy, but pretty colors!
