I love this yarn!! So soft. I made a sweater for my son with this yarn 2 years ago. He is 5 and very hard on his clothes. He has worn it plenty since, but especially in the last year and it still looks brand new. It is now my go to for children's clothing because it's soft, easy care and stays nice for so long!

Review summary
Reviewers mostly praise the soft feel, the range of colours and the yarn's resistance to pilling. Many say it knits or crochets well for blankets, sweaters and baby items. Complaints are uncommon, with a few reports of knots, fraying or spliced skeins.

This is the nicest acrylic worsted weight yarn I’ve found. I typically prefer natural fibers or wool blends, but I have family members who can’t tolerate wool so this is a great find. It comes in a nice variety of colors, but unfortunately, Lovecrafts doesn’t carry them all
My order always arrives promptly and is perfect! I love how it is wrapped so beautifully. This is my favorite place to purchase yarn. Thank you.
Uptown worsted is great yarn. Very soft does not split or break easily. I have made five blankets, 12 pairs of gloves, 14 kitty hats and numerous other items from it
Great choice for every craft
Beautiful and very good quality yarn Soft too Love the colours Could be used for many different projects Blankets crochet up fast using this
Great Site!
This is my favorite acrylic yarn. Knits up nicely with a soft drape. Excellent color choices.
Nice service.
I’m getting back into knitting and just made an Aran sweater with Uptown and my daughter loves it.
Love the Uptown yarn
Fast delivery and the yarn colors were perfect!
The yarn and colors were exactly what I wanted.
Great quality for the price. Huge selection of colors.
Service is always great, ships fast, quality of yarn good, price is good. I like the way the yarn comes in a mesh drawstring bag.
