KnitPalMohair Mimic Soft Bulky Yarn for Crocheting - 65% Acrylic and 35% Nylon - Variegated Acrylic Yarn Weight 5-2 Skeins 524yds/300g - Red Checkerboard

I'm not a beginner, nor am I an expert at crocheting. However, having worked with a few thicker and hairy styles of yarn that make it beyond impossible to see your stitches have allowed me to understand there are other techniques to use when crocheting. I just wanted to offer some insights on this given how do many of the other reviews caution beginners against trying it. I wouldn't personally want to place these types of limitations on anyone. If you have enough determination, you can accomplish anything and, you have to learn somehow. That said, the best way to work with this type of yarn is to go by feel. Okay, so maybe that is a skill gained over time but, if you want to, you'll manage. I absolutely adore how this yarn looks and feels when crocheted. My scarf turned out wonderfully and I've gotten so many compliments on it. I rarely get compliments from people I see regularly, let alone complete strangers. Three times so far, I've been stopped by people in public places that have asked me where I got my scarf. How proud I was to be able to tell them I made it with yarn I got online. One thing I can say for certain is that I'll definitely be getting more of it. Great way to make a little extra cash. For me anyways.

Maybe I was overly optimistic when I purchased this yarn. Wanted to make a blanket for my 25 yo son and he likes black and red. I’m only on row 3 and thinking of giving up with this yarn. It’s really soft and I wanted it to work but with the color being so dark not only is it hard to work with but hard to see, too.

Of all the non-big name yarn I've gotten from Amazon, this one is labeled the best. Care instructions are clear, as are needle suggestions. The yarn itself is soft and pleasant to touch. I would buy this brand and type of yarn again.

This is slightly fuzzy yarn that can be a bit difficult to work with since keeping an eye on your stitches is a bit of a time with the texture of this. It's pretty soft and works up well, but can have some mild splitting issues.

Made my daughter an upside-down flower hat with this yarn, and it feels SO soft! Not too bulky. It's fuzzy, so it's sometimes a little difficult to see where the stitched are, but that just comes with this texture of yarn. Doesn't break when pulled either.

This yarn is soft and feels good running through your fingers. It isn't at all scratchy like some cheaper acrylic yarns. This is a bulky yarn and quite fuzzy so you do need to use a larger hook size with it and and open lacy weave in your stitches so you don't lose the hole. I first tried to stitch the wrong pattern with it and it got frustrating. Once I picked another pattern and hook the yarn was wonderful to work with. I love the variegated colors the scarf I made was warm and thick and beautiful.

Really pretty and soft yarn. I used it to practice crocheting and it made a lovely soft item when I was through. I used a 3.5 hook for this. It does have kind of a puffy appearance that makes it difficult to count stitches, but I was able to successfully use it. I was thrilled to find something so soft

This yarn is nice and feels very soft. There's a lot of yarn included but I'm not sure if it's worth the cost of the yarn. It's also not a good choice for beginners as it's easy to split when working if you're not careful. The color is very nice and I like the yarn.
