Flowers Moonlight – Gradient Cotton Acrylic Yarn with Metallic Lurex, 9.17oz (250g), 1093 Yards – Shiny, Multicolor Cake Yarn for Crochet, Knitting, Shawls & DIY Projects (3254)

They had the wrong color in the picture that was matched to the color number I ordered. I thought I was getting the blue to orange. Imagine my shock when I got a predominantly green colorway. I decided to keep it. It was kind of a happy accident because one of my best friend's favorite color is green. So I gifted her the shawl I made with it. Overall, this is wonderful yarn. I would not call this a beginner yarn since it is not spun plies. It does make beautiful items with lots of sparkle! I would definitely recommend for a wedding shawl!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this yarn!!! Omg it’s not scratchy at all even with the sparkle running through It. It worked up so beautifully and really did not split much at all while making a little fairy dress for my daughter. The way the color changes works out beautifully too because it’s not noticeable and the knots are so tiny you can hide them no problem. It is a thinner yarn, but I find it comparable to Hobbii Sultan cotton or their cotton kings!

My favorite! Love the colors

Excellent yarn for shawls, not to thin and not too heavy.

I’ve recently used Sheepjes, Hobbii, and Lana Grossa cotton ombrés, and this is SO MUCH BETTER. It’s actually plied, and very soft. The metallic isn’t scratchy. That strand does tend to break if snagged (I’m using it for a crochet blanket) but it’s not noticeable in the fabric. I’m very pleased.

Like super thin. Its strong and very beautiful but definitely a thin yarn. Closer to string

The yarn itself is wonderful, but be careful if you order color 3256 it is not the same color way that is in the picture on the listing. I really wanted the colors schemes of the one pictured on the listing, but the colors that came are pretty too just not was I was wanting or thought I was getting

This yarn is not for the faint of heart. I would say *not* a beginner-friendly yarn. The metallic thread that gives it its gorgeous shimmer splits away from the rest of the yarn making it difficult to pull through the loop unless your hook is turned just so. And heaven forbid you have to frog out to a mistake! If you were under the metallic thread instead catching the whole thread then it can pull into a knot that can only be cut out. (I learned this the hard way!) That being said, I love the way my project turned out! The ombre effect is perfect. The color shift is so subtle that it's hard to catch. It took me awhile to realize that they put in a flag/marker to denote that switch (see photo with purple background for example). The fabric is soft. The metallic thread does not make it scratchy or itchy. I switched back and forth between 2 skeins of this yarn to make a shawl that is large enough to wrap around my shoulders, down my arms and passed my waist.
