Lion Brand Yarn 525-208 Mandala Yarn, Valkyrie, 1-Pack

The color was pretty consistent and yarn quality was pretty good. I didn't find any manufacturers knots with made it easier to work with, did not squeek when worked with. The yarn stayed soft even after washing it several times. I'm pretty happy with the final outcome.

I’m really loving Mandala Yarn! The yardage is fantastic at 590 yards, making it perfect for larger projects without running out too quickly. The yarn itself is incredibly soft and works up beautifully with a nice drape, giving all my pieces a polished, professional look. I’ve used it for scarves, tops, and even blanket throws, and it performs wonderfully every time.The variegated color changes are stunning, and the gradient transitions are smooth and subtle, adding so much visual interest to my projects. This yarn is perfect for anyone looking for something that’s both easy to work with and has gorgeous, vibrant color shifts. Definitely a go-to for my future crochet creations!

I like the material and the color. I like it very much for my project.

Bought to crochet a tapestry afghan. Nice yarn. Pretty colors.

While I live this color way and the yarn itself is good overall.. I have a small complaint. The gauge of the yarn narrows in some places within the skein. Very noticeably so, it appears like maybe it was compressed in those places, they aren’t too frequent, and they aren’t too long, but they are there and bother me a bit as it’s not just enough that the crocheter would feel it, but I can see it. Outside of that, I LOVE it! For the project I am using it on I don’t believe it will have a major impact on the outcome, but for other projects it could be more of an issue. I think it’s a fair price, the colors are stunning, overall the yarn weight seems accurate outside the compressed parts, while I wouldn’t refer to it as a “soft” yarn, I do think it has a nice soft feel if loosely stitched. I love that it’s a cake vs a skein or hank, because there’s very little change for tangles and no real need to unravel and rewind the yarn. Very easy pull (probably my favorite thing).

Love the color and feel of this yarn, in process of making a cardigan

I got this one brown harvest looking one because I honestly thought it would be a SLOW gradual color change. which is what I needed to create the large leaf patterns Im making to make a shawl.but its not, its a quick change with slight color changes to LOOK LIKE its a gradual color change. but its still drastic.its soft. I usually buy cheap yarn because I can make it work and I like sturdy yarn. this is a little bit soft.yarn is yarn is yarn to me... unless its black or weird yarn lol.so this was good. it is true to its color, at least for me on my screen.

Pretty turkey colors. Very slick yarn. Doubled up to crochet a skirt.
