Review of Worsted Weight Yarn Pack for Small Projects

Review of Worsted Weight Yarn Pack for Small Projects

30 reviews between Feb 11, 2023 and Aug 08, 2023.

This collection of yarn is advertised as worsted weight but is actually thinner, more like a 3 or DK weight. It works well for small projects like amigurumi and finger puppets. The colors are bright and pretty, and there is a good variety in the pack. However, the yarn can be rough and may split easily. It is a good option for beginners or for practicing new stitches. Overall, it is a nice inexpensive yarn pack for small projects.

  • NOT 4-gauge/worsted

    Yarn is much thinner than 4-weight/worsted, I’d say it’s a 3 weight. I kept it for my kid to craft with, I doubt I’ll use it.

  • Great for small hook projects

    This yarn is thin and mini, but perfect for tiny projects. It is very evident if you switch between "medium 4 weight" yarn and these yarns. If using them in tandem to make smaller items (like granny squares or amigurumi) these are perfect. I used a very small hook (D 2mm) on the project pictured. Anything larger would have likely showed gaps.

    Having said that, this is exactly what I expected when I got it. I just wanted to warn others so their expectations were correct!

  • Very tiny. Much smaller.

    These are too small to even make anything. It’s good quality, but small.

    I've bought several sets of these. I use them often for gifts for my grandkids: cute beanies and scarves, stuffed toys, even blocks!

  • Smaller than I thought

    The colors are pretty, and they feel nice and soft. Unfortunately these are much smaller than I anticipated. You will only get a small project from each ball of yarn. I will keep them, but mostly for smaller details, as I would worry about running out before the project is complete. I also ran into a couple of knots already, which was quite disappointing for having used it for one day.

    • Perfect for me, but it is a size smaller than advertised

      These are very pretty colors, a lot of options and perfect for what I need it for. The crochet hook size i used was a 3mm maybe a 3.5mm if you dont want it tight for crochet plushes. Yarn is not meant for heated drying, will melt.

    • So many!!

      New to the crochet game and this is what I got - along with a little stater kit - and it was exactly what I asked for. Lots of colors, many spools and small size so I don’t feel like my mess ups are wasting my money.

    • Great yarn!!!

      I have been looking everywhere for a set of yarn with all the colors and enough yarn to make Amigurumi. This set is it!!! There is enough of one color and the yarn is great. It also is really a good bargain! Buy this! You won’t be sorry!!!

    • Not worsted - 3ply

      The yarn I received was not worsted weight. It is 3ply and significantly thinner than worsted. The colors are bright, though, and it works fine for beginner amigurumi.

    • good color selection

      A good selection of sample yarns. Unfortunately, the texture of the yarn is hard and although it is described as #4 worsted, it is thin compared to other worsted yarn. OK to practice new stitches but not good for a soft, snuggly baby afghan.

    • perfect for starting out with amigurumi

      This is a perfect collection of yarn for starting out with amigurumi. It's thinner than most worsted weight yarns I've worked with, which is good for doing small amigurumi projects. The colors are lovely and there's a nice variety of them in the pack. There's enough yarn to do lots of small amigurumi projects, though you may need to get more yarn in commonly-used colors if you really get into it or what to do anything bigger than a few inches. Overall, this is a nice, inexpensive yarn pack to get you started on your amigurumi journey.

    • Great colors

      This 100% acrylic yarn is a bit rough on the hands. Bought it for crochet amigurumi projects. It works but splits a bit and the fuzziness hides the stitch definition. Glad I bought it though, it's great to practice with for the price!

      Advertised as worsted weight but actually a light worsted. I believe it's a sport weight. This is the only reason I'm disappointed.

    • Too thin

      The description and the packaging say it's size 4 worsted weight but its very thin and works up much smaller than the yarn I usually use. Would be good for stitching faces or details, but not for the bulk of a project. Very disappointed.

    • So Many Possibilities!

      I've bought these little skeins twice and have started using them to crochet a sort of patchwork afghan that is a replica of one made by a family member in the 50s. Each 4" square has a striped chevron motif with two colors and I was able to get six squares from two of the skeins (or three squares per skein). It will take 38 of the 40 skeins I bought to complete the afghan. This will be a perfect travel project because the skeins and finished squares are small and very packable. When the squares are finished and joined together I'll use a yarn with similar gauge (like KnitPicks Brava Sport) to crochet a solid color border around the edges. It's pretty much unheard of to be able to crochet an afghan for under $30--how fun is that??!!!!

    • Not what I thought

      This yarn is equivalent to floss used in cross-stitching. It's not strong enough to be used in anything else but that. This was falsely advertised, just saying.

      I sent this back to Amazon.

    • Yarn quality not great. Incorrectly labeled weight.

      Yarn isn’t great quality, which is fine since it was cheap… however, it’s labeled as worsted weight, and it’s like a very light DK, almost sock weight. I’m not thrilled about that.
