I ADORE this yarn!
Talk about a fun chenille alternative! I love how Soho Skwishy feels and it exceeds a lot of my expectations and is slowly replacing stock I have from other companies. I love the color choices and how vibrant they are.

Good yarn. The colors I've received have been accurate and texture is as soft and smooth as expected from chenille yarn. It can shed, yes, but frogging gently and sewing with small amounts at a time helps reduce it. I expected it to shed, all chenille yarn I've tried has (it's fuzz on a string). Magic rings are best done loosely and tightening after a few stitches, if the yarn is still smooth, or the chain two method otherwise the fuzz catches on itself. The pillows and amigurumi I've made turned out well with minimal frustration. Plan to buy more when I can.

Not worth it. Giving 2 stars because the colors are lovely and it feels so soft. However, it's not worth. It sheds a ridiculous amount, there have been many bare spots of string within the skein, it snags easily, and (as another reviewer mentioned, is nearly impossible to frog without ruining the piece of yarn. It says machine washable, but with how it seems to fall apart while I'm working with it i doubt even hand washing is going to be gentle enough to make my project last.
I am definitely NOT a fan of this yarn. It sheds, it's impossible to frog, I don't think I will be buying this yarn again!
I love the feel of this yarn and the color options are fantastic! I wish the skeins were bigger, but for the price, it is understandable. The biggest complaint is the shedding and not being able to do magic rings! Some colors are just fine and I have no issues with them. But others (like black definitely comes to mind), is so weak I feel like you could breathe on it and it would fall apart!
I really like the feel of this yarn. The projects I am making are toys for children. I am crocheting in the round. When there are increases and decreases I find it is harder to see them than it is with other yarns I have used. And when I have to take out stitches because I have goofed, the yarn comes off the string to which it is attached.
It was super soft to work with but it broke alot and very easily and shedded alot
Overall good for the price!
I love the color variety, and feel of the yarn great for origami. What i really dislike about this yarn is having to sew parts on my work with it. I only get a few stitches done and parts will become compressed and the parts it came from go to just string. Then I have to figure out ways to get my work done which usually entails my cutting it so I can pull it through to tie to a new piece but then the same thing happens again after a few stitches. Its very frustrating in fact I've a bunch of pieces piling up on my work station that need to be sewed .
I was excited to use this yarn, but it shed profusely while crocheting and deteriorated when I tried to sew pieces on with it. Unfortunately, I will not buy this particular yarn again but will continue to buy from this company.
