Also, if it's splitting, change the end you're pulling from - if you're pulling from the center, change to the outside of the ball. It changes the twist, making it hold together better.
WRONG. Where you pull from does not change the twist! 99.9 % of yarn is S twist. To get a Z twist it has to be spun with a Z twist. If you don't believe me then take a photo of a piece of yarn from each end and notice the twist stays the same. What does ignorance feel like?
@@SuzyEH one way of pulling the thread unwinds the twist. So a center pull for skeined yarn tends to untwist the yarn. But that's why I cake it out in and avoid the issue.
Jennifer I cannot wait to hear what you think of the Lion Brand color theory yarn? I think their color peacock is really pretty! If it was named Grey sweatpants that would mean comfy and cozy and relax so I think gray sweatpants would be an amazing meme for a colorway of Grey! I think your Swatch with the color theory is turning out really beautiful like the three colors that you picked to Swatch! I think the blue and the teal and the white look beautiful together! I really like the tourmaline color it's a really beautiful light green. I think it looks really good crocheted and knitted!
Two of Wands has a cable sweater pattern, with this yarn as the recommended (you can get it as a kit from Lion Brand). It’s a beautiful sweater and the yarn was so nice to work with. I found it gave great stitch definition. I also made the February hat, with my leftovers. And the stitch pattern shows up wonderfully.
Color Theory is one of my favorite yarns. I made an awesome blanket with 16 of the 18 colors. It is wicked soft, squishy, and drapey. The colors work great together. I really like Two of Wands' aesthetic.
Two of Wands has fantastic knit and crochet patterns…..she comes out with beautiful spring and fall collections. She was very involved in the development of this line. 😊
Thanks for sharing! The yarn is very pretty, nice to see it worked up. Last time LB had 30% off I bought the Aurora Fade Shawl kit using this yarn. Of course I haven't started it 😂 🤣 hopefully soon. I used to gravitate towards neons and brights but lately have found myself going more for muted and neutral colors?! 🤷 A new phase. 😂 Have a great day! 🤗
I think if you used all 18 baby skeins to make a scarf or cowl it would be pretty. It might look cool if you tied them all together, it would be pretty if you used your knitting machine to make something. Thanks for the review!
I love the colors in the Lion Brand's 18-pack Color Theory yarn!🤩 I love the 3 colors you don't like the most! If I were your neighbor I would grab those and crochet something small and beautiful for you😄 Thank you for purchasing so many of those little balls and reviewing them for us 🥰
Ooo, this looks fun. Maybe a family set of hats using helix knitting (basically one skinny stripe of color at a time) to give a "scrappy" sorta look. Base color (mainly brim) individualized for each family member to give a complimentary family set without being exactly matchy matchy. I can hear you in my head saying "this is making my brain light up". Blessings
I am so glad you did a review on these. I have these little ones and have not done a thing with them yet! I have touched the larger skeins when I was in JoAnn's and they are sooooo soft! After I finish all my holiday WIP's I will have to make a blanket or something out of this yarn.
My doggy is exactly like that you think u made it all nice for him and he messes it all up. I haven’t got to try this yarn yet. So I may have to. Have a great day!!❤
Thx for the review on this yarn. You're so right, Toni @TLYarn crafts is all about these shades! Did I see somewhere that Hobby Lobby was carrying this Lion Brand yarn, now? 🤔 Just getting a chance to watch this. My AC went out this morning and I just got it fixed. It was 92° outside and 80° in my house! 🥵 Cu tomorrow! 😊👍🧶
That is really nice yarn! Thank you for showing it to us Jenn! Also, thank you Two of Wands and Lion Brand! I love how it works up! I can't wait to try it! ❤😊
Those 3 you didn't like, aren't in my regular wheel house, but I think they'd look great together in a fall or harvest project. Not Halloween ish but Fall/Harvest. Or if you're trying to recreated those colors from the 70's. But that's my opinion. I wouldn't gravitate towards them unless I was doing a Fall thingy, but I'd rather have Halloween over fall but that's me.
Edit: with a small swatch, you are missing out on the weight and drape of a bigger project, of course. I love hugging my son's blanket as Iam making it! I have picked up a bunch of this yarn for the fantastic price of 4 for $20 but obviously, I love it enough to pay the full price, too. I have paid full price for several of my orders but keep my eyes open for the sale prices! Check out the Midnight Jasmine Wrap (the shawl Jennifer mentioned-- I have that kit but haven't made it yet! Still working on my son's KING SIZED blanket that grows slowly at the rate of about 4 rows per inch!). I have forgotten how to knit so I don't have any feedback about that. Yes! You are right on! It is magical worked up! So glad I bought it!

Yup. I can attest to that. Usually the case with bamboo yarns.
Thanks, I need to try that with a cotton yarn I'm working with.
Have a great day. 🐞

I’m loving the tourmaline, himalayan salt and amethyst together. It’s so so pretty!
Oohhh, earthy tones. Makes for good sofa afghans and maybe a cardigan. 😊 have a lovely day! ❤

Cute mini balls!
Would be a great smaller granny squares project 👍❤️🤗

Hey Jennifer 👋☕️☕️. I agree with your color choices and mostly like the greys, blues and the peacock is striking ❣️
I bought some Color Theory some time back and haven't used it yet. Thanks for the review!
Those color's are beautiful together. Thank you for the review. ❤🎉
Hi Jen! Another great review 😊 the colours are great as a pack and the colour theory definitely works with them ❤
Thank you for the review of this yarn. The next time I'm at Joann's I will check it out.
Have a wonderful blessed day 🤗🙏🏻💖

on the two of wands website she has a gorgeous wrap utilizing the mini pack.
@dianecummins4168 I clicked to reply this exact thing! 😆
I love those rich colors for fall and winter. Great review. I definitely want to try then. Thanks Jennifer.

Some JoAnnes have this in full size on clearance in store. I think they were like $4
Good Morning Jen ! Hobby Lobby has this yarn now ! Would make a beautiful fall project
I need to see what my hobby lobby has. I havent been since everyone is finding new yarns
Thank you Jen . Always nice to see a review of a yarn you know nothing about.. some of those colors are nice. Some 😉
Great review-this yarn looks lovely! Thank you!

Yes they are, they also have a premier yarn on the shelves
I love all those colours!
Thank you 😊 would not have put those colors together but they do look great ❤
Beautiful colours, that I would use for knitting my future double wedding ring blanket.
That is really nice yarn! Thank you for showing it to us Jenn! Also,

These are all gorgeous! Beautiful fall colors! Thanks for sharing Jennifer and have a wonderful day. ❤️🤗
Beautiful yarn! I love it when you knit a sample as well. I’m starting to knit and it’s so much fun. Thank you so much Jennifer!!❤❤❤❤
Good Morning 🤗 Loce watching you knit 🧶 I can’t seem to get holding the needles 😂 you make it looks comfortable. Have a great day 😎
I like the colors.would make a nice shawl
I love these colors ! Thank you.
Thanks for review, I bought some of this yarn but haven’t used it yet. Was supposed to do a crochet along with Fiber Flux,but didn’t
Morning,luv all the colors.
I really like the Peacock yarn.
Hi Jen, happy Wednesday😊 this yarn looks lovely and squishy 😊 thanks for sharing your review

Jenn I saw your video last night about pioneer woman crocheting hooks I’ve been trying to find that video
Edit: with a small swatch, you are missing out on the weight and drape of a bigger project, of course. I love hugging my son's blanket as Iam making it! I have picked up a bunch of this yarn for the fantastic price of 4 for $20 but obviously, I love it enough to pay the full price, too. I have paid full price for several of my orders but keep my eyes open for the sale prices! Check out the Midnight Jasmine Wrap (the shawl Jennifer mentioned-- I have that kit but haven't made it yet! Still working on my son's KING SIZED blanket that grows slowly at the rate of about 4 rows per inch!).
I have forgotten how to knit so I don't have any feedback about that.
Yes! You are right on! It is magical worked up! So glad I bought it!
Ugh! My comment that I was editing disappeared!!!
Greys usually lean either blue or green don't you think?❤😊
I love the color theory yarn!!
Fall colors for a blanket
I'm surprised they didn't add in a dark rose to the first group. Either my screen color was way off or the names of the colors were way off.
Great review. Thanks!
The colors are all my colors❤
I am in love! herrschners has it for $4.97
Dijon... french mustard colour.
I would perhaps split them into 3 sets but definitely not all together
Watching you knit it looks so easy… but then I try and get frustrated and always throw the yarn and needles 😂😂😂
Good morning Cinnamon I have the same bach of yarn but they are smaller .what can I do with those? My friend give to me
That is totally my wheelhouse colors
I absolutely adore them!
Earthy tones?
Good morning ☕️
Morning!
I just saw this yarn on Office Depot’s web page, of all places, at $5.98!!! Who knew!!!
whaaaat? who knew?!
Make his rug into a giant pillow bed for him,
Hey Jen, does this yarn come in reg size balls. Ty
Yes, this is just the sample pack.
The colors you chose I could see in a sweater for a man or boy.
If someone comments on one of your old videos do you still get it?
Yes
Morning 🌄
Morning!
❤❤❤
Hi Jennifer I'm not really a fan of mixing them all but a few on their own aren't too bad. Probably because I'm full of poo 💩 ..just saying 😂❤
Good morning sweetie ☺️🥤🧶
Good morning!
❤good 🌅 morning young lady..
Good morning
unctuous?
👋
