Review: Vanna’s Choice from Lion Brand Yarns
We raided our stash and used Vanna’s Choice from Lion Brand Yarns in our Twins Face Off crocheted flowers design challenge. Here are our thoughts about the yarn:
This yarn is a workhorse…and we mean that in the nicest sense. It has been one of our go-to yarns for years so it was only natural that we used it in our stashbuster challenge.
Yarn Features:
According to the Lion Brand website: Vanna White, America’s favorite crocheter and Lion Brand’s spokesperson for over 15 years, introduces Vanna’s Choice®, an easy-care, silky-soft premium basic available in a range of beautiful, expertly-coordinated shades.
Worsted Weight: 170 yrds / 100 g
100% Premium Acrylic
Vanna’s Choice Pros:
- Lots of color options – there are several fun lines in Vanna’s Choice including: Tapestry and Baby. She also has a Glamour and Sequins line. What will Vanna dream up next? Looks like she’s introduced Mohair with her Complements line. Oh my!
- Smooth texture glides across fingers nicely
- Pretty Soft
- Has a good twist, so doesn’t split very often
- Has a medium sheen – not too shiney or too dull
- Washable
- A portion of the proceeds is donated to Charity (St Jude’s)
Vannna’s Choice Cons:
- Even with all the colors available, we still long for more options in yellow
