This is the review for Lollipop, San Diego color (24). This is nice one compared to another one I bought in color Austin (2), which was really rough, quite surprising that different color makes texture so different. I appreciated that Hobbii Customer rep reached out to me and gave me a refund for that Austin color one, as I could not use it at all. This San Diego color one is soft and just the right amount of popping pink! I would be putting photo there too, so check that out to see the color for reference. It is nice' soft though it is acrylic mostly with 20% wool, and it was pleasure to knit with. I wish this comes in 250g but overall I am happy with this cake yarn. Recommend! Thanks Hobbii!

I just received my order with this yarn, and it is lovely stuff! A comparable yarn that is readily available here in the US is Caron Cakes, but the quality on the Lollipop cakes seems higher, and I like muted colorways that are available.

One of my cakes arrived unraveled and tangled, likely due to the bag being tossed around so much during shipping. Fortunately, the yarn wasn't damaged and is usable, and the other items in the bag were not broken. I understand the need to ship in bags to keeps costs low, but I had things in the bag that really needed to be wrapped in padding, not loose. It was only sheer luck that nothing broke.

I LOVE this yarn. i buy a lot of yarn as I knit for a local non-profit which serves thousands of people, especially with hats at this time of the year. I find this yarn to be a perfect weight for hats, mitts, and gloves. The colors are absolutely fantastic and have long color runs which means that what I make is highly interesting, especially if I make a set of mitts/hats/scarf. As I said, I knit for charity but I really believe that what is given to those in needs has to say "Somebody cares about enough about you to make something pretty for you." This yarn does that.

I used two mega balls of lollipop to make the granny stripes shawl.

The yarn is lovely, the colour change isn’t too abrupt and two balls made a lovely large wrap.

I would say that the first ball had six knots in in which I found to be a bit below acceptable but the second ball only had one so o think it was a one off and I’d be very happy to buy again.

I love that when you buy on Hobbii you’re given some patterns/video tutorials . As a beginner it really helps me to visualise what to do with yarn, rather than buying then surfing to find something I could make.

Lollipop was my first Hobbii yarn purchase and it was a great choice!! I really like the color changes because you get a repeat of the colors and the transition is very smooth. The yarn is also great to work with. It glides smoothly, doesn't split, and I had no knots in the skeins I've used so far. I found it easy to do a clean center pull from the cake. I agree with other reviewers that it's similar to Caron Cakes but with the warmth of the wool it contains. I used it for a Christmas tree skirt because it's washable. I'll go back to Lollipop again for future projects.
