As Bright & Cheery As Her Smile!
Yes, my tags say “GRAMPAMADE.” I’m a 66-year-old GrandFATHER who has been knitting since my mother taught me when I was six. I have continued that passion for knitting for five grandsons and three granddaughters, knowing LION BRAND ICE CREAM was the perfect choice for this dress. It knit up nicely, the colors are beautiful (so is she), and the yardage was accurate. I LOVE Lion Brand and can always count on it to ROAR!

Tangles Yarn
I bought this Lion Brand yarn(13 skeins)--love the colors, but this is the worst yarn I have ever used. Every skein contains tangles that take 1-3 hours to unwind. Not worth the trouble. Neither Joann nor Lion Brand offer any assistance.

Soft!
Very soft and love the color. Width can be a little uneven throughout the skein. Overall will buy again, love the colors for baby stuff!

Still waiting for it to leave distribution
List it as out of stock?
I'm very worried as I order other yarn at the same time for a project that goes with this yarn... will I be able to return the other 7 balls of yarn if it's canceled? What if it takes so long to process and cancel itself that my return window is not open any longer?

Thin and not very soft
I wouldn't even classify this as a 3. It's more like a 2 weight. It's not very soft either. It's rough on the hands. I don't feel it's worth the asking price.

10 days and hasn't shipped
I am so excited for this yarn but the shipping delay is unreasonable.
The other items in the order I already have and this one hasn't even left the supplier.
Just a heads up, I'll re-review after it gets here and update how long it took.

Always check for stains
I bought three skeins of Ice Cream Yarn by Lion Brand to make a baby blanket. The first and second skeins were okay; however, I encountered several knots and there was a stain in the middle of my work. Thankfully, I used a stain-removing spray and washed my blanket which came out clean. Next time, check for stains before purchasing.

Beautiful baby blanket yarn
I prefer the “big scoop” skeins, but got the grape as little skeins because I couldn’t find it in a big skein. I ordered a three skein bundle and received the same dye lot on all three. Took away a star because the thickness varies through the skein. Could be more consistent. Made a lovely blanket.

Lion Brand Ice Cream #3 yarn
I bought this yarn to make a baby blanket to enter into the county fair exhibit in October.
The first skein I used I couldn’t find the beginning end and half the yarn came out of the center in one tangled ball. I had to make a cut in order to get it started.
Secondly, the yarn runs extremely thin in the white sections and thicker in the yellow sections.
Third, I have run into several knots in the first skein.
Fourth, I ended up throwing out 1/8 of the skein due to not being able to get untangled.
Skein #2: I had no problems getting this one started, but shortly after starting, I’ve run into thin spots, thick spots and see attached photo of the blob that has yarn separating and two huge globs of I’m not sure how to explain, a knotted clump.
Well, needless to say, this is not quality yarn to be using for a fair exhibit. I’m very disappointed.

Great yarn
Variegated is my favorite and the color options are fantastic. Works up easy and very soft.

Lion Brand - Get It Together
I love the UBE color way in this yarn, so I bought six skeins to make a sweater… I’ve spent so much time untangling & trying to get each skein into a ball — It honestly makes me want to cry! I think if Red Heart, & Caron can get it right, Lion Brand should be able to as well! The yarn overall is gorgeous and soft but it just hurts my soul that it’s in such a big tangled mess.

Beautiful color .... but .....
I ordered ten skeins of this yarn because I was going to make a bedspread for myself. I got them yesterday and love the color and the softness of it. But.... I spent better than two hours going through each skein looking for an end of the yarn so I could start. Never did find one until I took it all apart and started rolling a ball like we used to have to before companies put the end where it could be found.... If I have to roll every skein, I will and I'll make my spread, but if it comes to getting more, I'll get a solid color to suit and put the varigated part in the middle. I won't be ordering this again, no matter how pretty the colors. I've never been so disappointed in a product and I've been buying from Joann's for many years.

Yarn ends found tied together
Bought the yarn because the colors were super pretty and the texture was soft but upon crocheting I found two ends tied together which messed up my shawl. The yarn also unravels every easily and loosely leading to tangles and what not. Wouldn’t buy again

2 Different Lots of the Lion Brand Ice Cream Yarn Raspberry Ripple
I ordered 6 balls of Lion Brand Ice Cream Yarn Raspberry Ripple. 4 were from 1 lot and 2 were from another. As I was planning to use this on 1 project, I am unhappy about 2 different lots. I probably will not order on-line again.

terrible yarn
I bought two different colors of this yarn and both skeins had the same issue - irregular yarn width. Some regions were twisted down to almost the diameter of THREAD and it was everywhere in each skein! It looked horrible in my knitting and only marginally better in crochet. I will never buy this brand again.

Wound poorly
I love the colors and the weight so much, but the skeins are wrapped so poorly, that you have to waste knotted yarn that won’t come apart, especially at the end.

Very Unhappy
I purchased six skeins of one color, and every skein had multiple knots and tangles. The weight was also very inconsistent and thin in many spots. In thinking it was just a bad lot of one color, I tried a different color. I am very unhappy to report the same issues. The yarn is so thin in some places that it makes it look like there are holes in the blanket. I will never purchase this yarn again, and I strongly recommend others avoid it as well.

Softest, most beautiful yarn!
This is the softest yarn I've ever used! I used the color parfait and it is just lovely. The ball is also so pretty I almost didn't want to use it! Almost...
It's a dream to work with. I will be using this yarn again and again!!

Beautiful yarn!
I ordered the color Parfait to make a baby blanket for my first great-grandchild due in March 2021. The yarn is so beautiful and is working up very nicely. I can't wait to see this little one all wrapped up in it!

Love the colors and softness!
I love this yarn! It's super soft and works up beautifully with the varied colors! My adult daughter saw the baby blanket I'm making with it and siad, "Mom, it reminds me of sherbet!" So, Ice Cream is an appropriate name for the yarn!

Mixed lots
The yarn that I ordered came from two different locations. One package had yarn with the same lot numbers, but the others were all different.
