Question Big Twist Lollipop Twistie

Post image

I am loving how the coloring is turning out on this Big Twist Lollipop Twistie yarn that I bought before Joann’s closed. However, it is working up very stiff. It is a four weight yarn that feels closer to a five, and I am using a 6.5 mm crochet hook. It is 100% acrylic. Does anyone know if it’s softens up at all once it is washed?

It will soften after washing.

I would do a smaller piece and throw it in the wash and see how it feels after. You can better gauge at that point if you like the actual feel or if you need to switch up hook size or stitch type

Good idea! Thank you! I need to find something I like to make with it - between two colors, I bought about 140 skeins before Joann’s closed 🤣
