I LOVE this yarn!!
This is by far the best yarn I have ever worked with. It doesn’t split; in the two cakes I used, there was only one knot. It’s so soft, and feels so good against the skin! I even washed and dried my project and it came out just as lovely! I love the color assortment also! I love this yarn, and hope to make many more projects with it!
The only thing I would add, is that I would rate it as a #4 yarn, not the #5 they have on their label.

Varies in thickness between lots: Joann doesn’t care
I went to purchase in store because the Joann website says they don’t match lots for yarn & it said the store had 17 skeins in the color I wanted. There where only six on the shelf, from three different lots and unfortunately I didn’t have extra time to hassle an employee to find out if they could find more to match available (the Clover Amour hook in the size I needed was also
listed as in stock but there where none on the shelf).
The gradient was slightly different between lots, but I thought I could make it work because I am doing an afghan in hexagons and wanted to work the gradient across the whole blanket (so rotating between the six skeins to keep the color fade going across a larger area).
After working from two different lots I discovered it’s not just the amount of white vs blue that varies between lots: the thickness and texture of the yarn has a huge discrepancy. A patch worked from one came out dramatically smaller than the same hook & stitch pattern from the first skein. It’s thinner and less fuzzy, much less pleasing to the hand (more like a conventional acrylic rather than the first skein I was working from). I haven’t compared with the third lot, but these two will not be able to be worked together in one piece so I’ll either have to make my piece smaller than planned or buy different yarn: I hate both options.
It’s more than an hour to one way to get to the store, and the website says they don’t promise yarn to match lots: perfectly fine if you only need one skein but a garbage policy if you’re making anything that requires more yarn.
It would be worth paying more to buy yarn from a store that understands matching lot numbers is consequential rather than an unnecessary nicety they need not provide.
It’s not hard, manufacturers send them out in lots so they have to be mixed together after the fact for this to be a problem.
The yarn itself is good, it would be nice if it was more consistent between lots however it’s completely normal for yarn to vary between dye lots which is WHY lot numbers exist, Joann just chooses to ignore this fact and I won’t plan on buying from the in the future unless they fix their faulty policy and choose to sell by matching lots as a matter of practice.

Grateful :)
I bought this yarn from Joann’s in Scarsdale, New York a few weeks ago. I had seen these yarn cakes for quite some time at my local craft chain stores but unfortunately didn’t have the skill at that point to justify buying some. I took a crochet granny square lesson for an hour about a week ago and the orchid frost became my first solo venture into the world of granny square crochet. It’s such a beautiful yarn, gorgeous colors, soft, good thickness. Couldn’t have found a better beginner yarn. I’m awaiting my first order of the other assorted colors. I’m so excited to be making my first granny square scarf! I’ve already finished a few squares. Can’t wait to receive my order and keep going with this project! So joyful!

You will want to use this yarn again.
I've never been disappointed in this yarn. I've used it many times and will continue to use it. It's extremely soft.

Cute but breaks easily
This yarn is really cute but the color part breaks very easily making it delicate to work with. It’s also very fuzzy kind of like the thneads from the Lorax which makes it slightly hard to work with. Very pretty colors though

Really Nice Halo Yarn
Beautiful ombres and not irritating for a halo yarn. Size should be classified as a 4 instead of 5.
