Lion Brand Yarn Pound of Love Creamsicle Baby Orange Yarn

This is the best value I've found for yarn. IT IS ONE POUND. I bought it in LILAC to knit a baby blanket. It's great because there is enough yarn to knit the whole blanket and maybe even a pair of booties. Lilac is a beautiful color for a baby girl - not as girly as pink but still feminine. I found the yarn easy to knit with - it is better than Caron's yarn, Red Heart's soft. It doesn't split too much. People who are used to really nice yarns may not love it, but I thought it was great. This will be my go-to yarn from now on. I also note that it doesn't shed onto my clothes - big plus. The shipping was easy - although the FedEx stores have annoyingly long waits. I think I will use the $0.97 shipping and just chalk it up as part of the cost (which is SUPER low).

I have a granddaughter on the way & wanted to knit the "baby" version of the "Tree of Life" heirloom blanket/afghan. One skein of "Pound of Love" is sufficient for the project. This is a very nice, soft, washable, worsted-weight acrylic, & the color is very pretty, although a bit lighter in hue than what it appears to be on the website. Unlike cheaper synthetics, the yarn is very easy to work with & does not split or fray. Wal-Mart's price is about 20% less than other commercial websites, I didn't have to pay shipping/handling costs (just the usual sales tax) & the yarn arrived at my local store almost a week earlier than promised. Wal-Mart staffer was incredibly helpful & friendly. All in all, a terrific deal. Highly recommended for craft knitting & crocheting.
