3.0 out of 5 stars Recycled Lion Brand Yarn, Seagrass, September 17, 2010

I like the idea of using recycled products. This yarn was not as heavy as I expected and had a loose twist. Once I got use to it, it was easy to work with. I had to used a smaller crochet hook and adjust the pattern in order get the size slipper I wanted to make. I would use the product again for something that needed to drape well. I would not use it for something that would get hard use such as a dishcloth.

I found this yarn to be very difficult to work with because it is too loosely spun. The individual plys in the yarn separated and split easily.

This yarn has a very nice texture. Have not tried washing it but I like the feel of it and the colors are soft and earthy. Wish it wasn't so spendy.
