Lion Brand Yarn Cupcake Yarn, Sea Breeze

I adore the Cupcake Yarn colors and the feel. I made the afghan pictured using Moody Blue with a skein or two of Forest Path thrown in. I love to mix these striped yarns to get a unique product.This yarn is more of a light fairly smooth worsted weight than a baby weight. Still, much lighter than the Super Saver Ombre that I also like and the Ombre is generally coarser depending on color.

The yarn is a good deal, soft and springy and pleasant to work with for baby caps for a local hospital. The colors probably would look good on a blanket or shawl, but I thought they were a bit "washed out".

This company really combines beautiful colors in ways I would not have thought of. I bought several different color combinations from this company at the same time (and will be leaving this review on each of them) in order to make yarn rainbows. It works wonderfully well for this application! WIll buy again.

I've had some issues with other Lion Brand yarns having knots and weak spots inside the balls, but I haven't run across that with Cupcake. It's great to work with, the colors are fab, and the drape is awesome if used with size 6 needles.

This is great yarn for making a shawl or scarf without bothering to do any yarn changes yourself. The yarn is soft enough for wearing against the skin, and sturdy enough to stand up to machine washing.

I bought this to make a baby Afghan for my soon-to-be 1st grandchild. I loved working with this yarn. I did have trouble finding the inner end to pull from, so I had to use the outer end and keep unwinding the skein. But the yarn is so soft and easy to work with. The blending of colors is great, too. I will definitely but more of this for other projects.

Bought this to complete a project, it turned out beautifully. I gave it five stars under both thickness and sheerness because it’s a five star yarn and Amazon picked weird category to rate. It’s the perfect gauge for baby blankets.

I liked everything about this yarn for my project which was an afghan. The color changes were great and not having to work and switch between 6 balls of yarn to get different colors was a delight. I wish this yarn wasn’t discontinued as I would buy more without hesitation. Lion brand alternates between great yarns and awful ones. This one was great. With any yarn, always buy I more ball than you think you need since the yarn is liable at any time to be discontinued.
