review of Patrons Lace Yarn

today I am knitting with Patrons Lace
Lace

by Patons

Light Fingering / 3 ply

80% Acrylic, 10% Wool, 10% Mohair

498 yards / 85 grams

I am knitting The Margaret Dashwood Shawl (the very same pattern that I was knitting other yarn with to do). I frogged the whole pattern and started with this yarn.

I am 15 repeats into the increase section & I've found this yarn to be a very smooth knit. It is light fingering/3 ply, but since it's 10% mohair it feels bigger than that to me. 

I can't wait to show you the picture of the finished shawl!

This yarn is an excellent value for it's price. Just make sure you don't find mohair itchy...

yarn review:JL Vinca colorway 815

I started my Margaret Dashwood Shawl & I am using this yarn.JL VINCA
It was a purchase that as it stands I wouldn't make again in the future.

It has been splitty, and fuzzy and had several 'thin' places in it. I am only hoping that this is just a bad place in the yarn and not the whole yarn or it's gonna be a long day

the shawl is such a lovely little pattern & I'm so in love with it. But this yarn is making for a trying time. I want it to be a pretty shawl & I'm worried about the fuzzies and how they will make my shawl look when I'm finished.

this yarn (thus far) only gets a 2 out of 10 in my opinion. You truly get what you pay for when it comes to this yarn.

Some time ago I knitted a cowl made of this delicious yarn. It is truly some of the softest yarn I've ever touched & I love this yarn wayyy too much

above you will see how wonderfully this yarn knitted up for me. I used my metal knitpics interchangeable needles and it just smoothed along like butter.

this pattern was one I made up and is available on my etsy shop HERE.

all-in-all, I give this yarn an 8 out of 10 and if you have the chance to knit/crochet/craft with this yarn I feel you will not be disappointed!
