I totally agree. So did my husband ( whom knows nothing about yarn other than, I have way too much, lol) when I showed him other 4 weights I had sitting nearby. Also, totally not a roving yarn. I LOVE roving because it seams to give a softer feel and a beautiful halo. I would have felt misled if I had purchased it because it was listed as a roving.
Wow, you have taught me something NEW today. I never knew they could BLOW yarn through a tube of mesh like that to make it LOOK like a roving or other style they say it is. WOW. Great knowledge to KNOW. Thanks for teaching!
I met a wonderful lady at a pioneer fair on Saturday. We got to talking about crochet. She said let me show you my go to girl on tutorials. And she showed you! 😊 I said. Yes! I love her.
You go, girl you tell it like it is shame on Lionbrand! And I do trust your opinion Crystal if you can’t trust you who can you trust? Your opinion counts for more than you think! Thank you for the review again Lionbrand.
Only at the 10 min mark and I’ve laughed out loud twice, loud enough to have my son ask if I was ok😂. And then he heard your voice. “Ah…..Crystal is on”❤
Crystal you are killing me! 😂😂😂 Edit: How dare they try to pull one over on the roving Queen!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I love roving too so I'm super glad for the heads up! ❤❤❤
when you said “they know more than me they’re a yarn company” 9:52 😂😂💁🏻♀️looks blown…it must be roving 😂 great review lmao you crack me up. It did shrink a bit. It’s very pretty yarn
Watched your review, from start to finish; including the Ads! Love the shirt and hat, combo! Have a wonderful evening, and thank you for ALL you do! #bodfamrocks ⚓️🔔💙
That was an outstanding review of that yarn. It makes me feel like if I were to go buy the yarn, I would know exactly what I am what to expect from the yarn. I agree, I thought it was a bulky 5, not a 4. It looked thicker, but it was beautiful. Beautiful yarn, beautiful transition in the coloring. A very wonderful review. Thank you so much. 😊😊
I actually have never heard of a blown yarn. Interesting. And just with you handling it and showing it to us I wouldn't have thought it was roving either just because it seemed to be one size
Hi Crystal. As always I value your opinions. I agree with you not a roving style and I see more of a 5 weight. You can definitely see the shrinking and how its coming apart after washing and drying it. So this old lady will be passing on this, sorry Lion Brand.
Bulky 5 for sure. Original landscape stretched out of shape when I made wearables. This looks better. Ok that's what I call stretched. Shrunk irregularly. I'll stick with natural fibers and we'll made blends. Thanks for your hard work and honesty.
You should write them you opinion explaining to them the difference so that they know they can't try & fool the public. You do have the experience after all. I'm glad you put this information out there for the public. I had know idea yarn was so complex. ❤
You Crack me up. I didn't think you were going to like it at all at first! Can't we go back to the good old days when A C Moore put their yarn on sale 5 for $10? I miss that!
I learned something new, I never knew there was a thing called blown yarn. I'm so glad I watched this video. I love your honest opinions. I always listen to what you think and I will go look and see if I think it's something I would use. Thanks for the lesson, love you Crystal!!!!!
Love your honest opinions. I’ve never heard of blown yarn, so thank you for explaining what it is. Thank you for your detailed review. Obviously you do know better. 😁👍💜🇨🇦
Your knowledge amazes me every time you drop a video! Thank you for the lesson on blown yarn, very interesting. While it is pretty and probably very soft, it is way overpriced and won't be landing in my basket anytime soon. Thank you for sharing your opinion Crystal! Have a great day. 🩵
I've never heard of a blown yarn. Good to know! I won't buy yarn unless it's on sale or I have a coupon. Yarn is so expensive now. I went to Goodwill the other day, and their yarn was even pricey! Thanks for the review Crystal!! 😊
Hi Crystal. When you showed it up close, I thought it was a 5 and surprise they say 4. Thanks for explaining CYC. I learn something from you all the time during my crochet journey 😊. Thanks for all you do.
After watching your video, which I am grateful to see, I can say that I for a fact do NOT like this yarn (that is blown) through another fiber that ends up tearing up after you wash it and then pulls to loose it's shape, and splits and pills eventually. It is a NO GO for me, no matter the stitch definition, unless you may hand wash and then lay flat to dry as you mentioned. I do love LION BRAND yarns and the color you chose is beautiful. Love the colorway. thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for this review, especially the washing/drying section. I will be skipping this yarn for several reasons. I don’t like polyester yarn because I feel hot and sweaty when wearing a polyester garment. I don’t like the look of the yarn due to the blown in construction. I’m not a fan of fuzzy yarn that pills and looks old after several washings. I noticed the Landscapes Breeze yarn on their website is mostly rayon and is described as a hollow core chainette yarn. Interesting…… Thanks for all you do! 🍁🍁🍁🍁
Thank you 💕🙏🏼🌷Might be nice for boot cuffs. I live in the Northwoods of Wisconsin with a hat scarf set perfect for a sister gift. She is crochet worthy ❤
At first glance I saw it as chain spun and then you said it was supposed to be roving so I thought I just didn’t see it right. I’m so glad you explained about blown yarn. Made me think I’m not crazy 🤣.
Hola, Crystal. I love your review of yarn videos. I respect your honest opinion. Others I do not because they are affiliated with the companies. Today I learned about a new term, Blown yarn. Thank you so much for your videos.
Well, you called it. You said you didn't think it would pass the washer/ dryer test. You were correct. I will still probably try it if I catch it on sale near me. Thank you.
I didn’t think I would like it. But after you showed it on your knit machine I thought it looked beautiful. But the price is, steep for the fiber content/ yardage. Thank you.
I think 🤔 the texture of the strand of the yarn itself is interesting. Like you said blown...I never heard that term for yarn but it was cool 😎 to see what you were talking about. I think I would lay flat to dry.
Great review! I had never heard of blown yarn. When you said they know more than you cuz they’re a yarn company- I thought of what I often say to the kids - “what do I know … I’m just the mom!” Lion Brand should be listening to you 😊
Nothing bothers me more than a color transition yarn that they have run out of.. and tied on more. .. of a non transition color. And its happened to me many times.. especially with Lion Brand . Thank you for the review Crystal. ❤
I just ran across this using Lion Brand Landscapes Renewed. It wasn't only tied together, but I had to cut off the extra ends. I am new to crocheting and yarn in general. Thank you for letting me know I'm not alone.
I crocheted a sweater with this yarn and that exact color! I personally loved working with it. It’s definitely between and 4 and 5. The gradient wasn’t terrible or the greatest but I still enjoyed the color change. Thanks for your videos Crystal! Much love ❤️
I see what you mean Crystal, a true roving yarn would have fallen apart being washed. I don't have a problem with my items shrinking, so much as stretching. My grandmother made a really nice vest that tied at the front for me when I was about 10-12 years old, and it sat at hip height. By about 5-6 months later it was at my knees. After a year, it fit my mom, lol! I also made a sweater out of Super Saver yarn, and it would fit my husband now, lol! I don't really care as I wear it in the winter, and I'm home anyway. I've thought of frogging it, and making a new one, but nah, I like it , and wear it like a housecoat.
This is my second time watching this review. I saw that JoAnn has this yarn on sale and I found a 20% off regular and sale price items. So, I was able to get this yarn for under $6. Just wanted to watch your review again to make sure I remembered it correctly before buying. I will definitely lay flat to dry.
I've never heard of blown yarn. I do love chain spun tho. Ty for showing & testing these yarns! It is a pretty yarn. I'll have to try it...once it goes on sale! ❤️❤️❤️
I think it is a beautiful yarn. I agree bulky 5 for weight. BUT that price 🙄. I will not buy until it goes a lot lower and I would use it for a blanket 😉 yarn prices are ridiculous that’s why I have cut back 🤷♀️
Thank you Crystal for another top notch honest review of this yarn! Your reviews are always so very helpful. I've not tried it and have no desire to. 🤷🏼♀️ Have a beautiful day!🤗💖
The colorways also remind me of the ombré. I came here to watch the review because I wanted to purchase some.thank you! I feel like lion brand drops the ball on weights. I don’t feel ombré was a 4 but like you stated it’s preference everyone is different. I commented on the ombré before I watched to whole video so I spoligize.
New to your channel and loving all of your videos. You are so much fun to watch and always so informative and very entertaining. You have a wonderful personality. And a great big heart! ❤
As soon as I saw yarn in the LB site I came to youtube to see if you had a review. I thought the green was a perfect color for a shawl I wanted to make as a gift. But I was confused by the description as well. The pictures looked to me as if they would be a blown yarn.
I have the color you got plus the green and the green transitions good too. I was going to make a shawl as I got 3 of both (on sale of course). I agree it is so very soft I keep having to squish it lol.
Come on Crystal. Bag O Day knows her yarn & I value your opinion. I never used this yarn, but before you give your opinion, I always try to guess the thickness of them before you state if it's a #4 or #5 etc. I, too, guessed a #5. I agree with your opinion, based on what you showed on camera. Your opinions are spot on. Thank you for being honest and thank you for your reviews. 🫂💜🙏🏽
Crystal , Thank you for the review . I liked the color , but the part about it being not as soft after wash and dry is what will keep me from buying and the price . Love and Hugs .
I do really like their ombre effect. It's nice to have another option with a good ombre; but I would definitely only buy this stuff on sale (as with most yarns). I always feel like I'm being ripped off when I pay full price at any chain store.
Based on how many times you said it was "so soft"...it makes me want to try it! And...I love to not have my yarn split while I'm crocheting... this one looked like a dream! Thanks for the review!

I did do a WPI test like the CYC does, and it comes out to measure a bulky 5 weight
Its not roving. Yur right!
I totally agree. So did my husband ( whom knows nothing about yarn other than, I have way too much, lol) when I showed him other 4 weights I had sitting nearby. Also, totally not a roving yarn.

Thank you Crystal.
I met a wonderful lady at a pioneer fair on Saturday. We got to talking about crochet. She said let me show you my go to girl on tutorials. And she showed you! 😊 I said. Yes! I love her.
Crystal, I love your honest yarn reviews ❤ You are the “Consumer Reports” for the yarn community.
You go, girl you tell it like it is shame on Lionbrand! And I do trust your opinion Crystal if you can’t trust you who can you trust? Your opinion counts for more than you think! Thank you for the review again Lionbrand.
Only at the 10 min mark and I’ve laughed out loud twice, loud enough to have my son ask if I was ok😂. And then he heard your voice. “Ah…..Crystal is on”❤
❤😂
I did also.
Same LOL here!
I like your honest reviews and how you put the yarns through the testing and show us the results.
Crystal you are killing me! 😂😂😂 Edit: How dare they try to pull one over on the roving Queen!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I love roving too so I'm super glad for the heads up! ❤❤❤
when you said “they know more than me they’re a yarn company” 9:52 😂😂💁🏻♀️looks blown…it must be roving 😂 great review lmao you crack me up.

So funny! Loooove the subtle eyeroll at 9:53ish. 🤣 And then, "Remember, it's only 25% eco-friendly"
I actually have never heard of a blown yarn. Interesting. And just with you handling it and showing it to us I wouldn't have thought it was roving either just because it seemed to be one size
I love your comments on this yarn. Have a wonderful day. 😊

Thank you for your expertise! 🧶🤩🧶
Bulky 5 for sure. Original landscape stretched out of shape when I made wearables. This looks better.
Ok that's what I call stretched. Shrunk irregularly. I'll stick with natural fibers and we'll made blends. Thanks for your hard work and honesty.
Hi. Crystal. I. Agree. That. The. Yarn. Looks. Like. A. Number. Five. .the. Color. Is. Very. Pretty. Thank. .you. For. This ..video. And. Your ..honest. Opinion. The. .samples. Look. Great.
Chrystal, thanks for the review. This color you are wearing today suits you SO WELL. It makes you look very special.
I have a yarn that I'd call chain spun, blown-in roving, because the amount of the blown in fibers changes the same way regular roving does.
I trust YOUR opinion more than anyone else. Your yarn reviews are filled with information and deep knowledge. Thank you 💜🤗
I learned something new today. I’ve never heard of that type of yarn structure before. Thank you so much Crystal for explaining it 😊❤
You should write them you opinion explaining to them the difference so that they know they can't try & fool the public. You do have the experience after all. I'm glad you put this information out there for the public. I had know idea yarn was so complex. ❤

Love your honest opinions. I’ve never heard of blown yarn, so thank you for explaining what it is. Thank you for your detailed review. Obviously you do know better. 😁👍💜🇨🇦
Thank you for explaining and showing the difference in how yarn is made, I always learn so much from your videos 👍🏾
HOPE YOU HAD A HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRYSTAL!!!🎉🎉❤
Your knowledge amazes me every time you drop a video! Thank you for the lesson on blown yarn, very interesting. While it is pretty and probably very soft, it is way overpriced and won't be landing in my basket anytime soon. Thank you for sharing your opinion Crystal! Have a great day. 🩵
Never heard of blown yarn. I laughed when you said they should know more than you. But they don't! I do love the color transition. Very pretty!
I've never heard of a blown yarn. Good to know! I won't buy yarn unless it's on sale or I have a coupon. Yarn is so expensive now. I went to Goodwill the other day, and their yarn was even pricey! Thanks for the review Crystal!! 😊
I know! Goodwill is getting ridiculous
I love that colorway, very peaches & cream.
Hi Crystal. When you showed it up close, I thought it was a 5 and surprise they say 4. Thanks for explaining CYC. I learn something from you all the time during my crochet journey 😊. Thanks for all you do.
You are so genuinely You and I love that ❤❤
I've never heard of blown yarn! Thank you for teaching us about it! ❤❤❤❤❤ beautiful color 😍
Thanks as always! Have a great evening! Take care. ❤️🤗
Love that color. It does look like the desert.
Good afternoon Crystal I cannot wait to hear what you think about this Lion Brand landscape renewed yarn?
After watching your video, which I am grateful to see, I can say that I for a fact do NOT like this yarn (that is blown) through another fiber that ends up tearing up after you wash it and then pulls to loose it's shape, and splits and pills eventually. It is a NO GO for me, no matter the stitch definition, unless you may hand wash and then lay flat to dry as you mentioned. I do love LION BRAND yarns and the color you chose is beautiful. Love the colorway. thanks for sharing.
Love the afghan on your chair.
Thank you for taking the yarn through the tests. Reviews are so much more meaningful when the wash test is done.
Remember polyester leisure suits? I only had 1, a pantsuit; it was cold in the winter and hot in the summer.
Never heard of blown yarn I learn something new thank you
That throw from Gary is beautiful
Thank you so much for this review, especially the washing/drying section. I will be skipping this yarn for several reasons. I don’t like polyester yarn because I feel hot and sweaty when wearing a polyester garment. I don’t like the look of the yarn due to the blown in construction.

I love your reviews. You are so thorough and knowledgeable. I enjoy watching your channel. I crochet some, nothing really hard. Thank you. 🩵🧶🇺🇸
Thank you 💕🙏🏼🌷Might be nice for boot cuffs. I live in the Northwoods of Wisconsin with a hat scarf set perfect for a sister gift. She is crochet worthy ❤

I gotta agree with you on roving. Roving is sound fibers. In a single ply.
Hola, Crystal. I love your review of yarn videos. I respect your honest opinion. Others I do not because they are affiliated with the companies. Today I learned about a new term, Blown yarn. Thank you so much for your videos.
Crystal thanks for sharing your unboxing and the review of the yarn. It is nice when you work up. Have a great day.♥️
You saved me a ton of money and heartache. This one's a hard no...Thanks!
I did make your stitch sampler beanie. You teach so well. I find myself saying skip-skip to myself!! Lol
Pretty color! Maybe blanket would work! Price definitely too high! Thank you! God Bless. Take care. Love you. 🙏♥️😇
❤😊 I always love your reviews! Open and honest! ❤😊

Excellent review, Crystal. Best part, the “air”😅
Great review! I had never heard of blown yarn. When you said they know more than you cuz they’re a yarn company- I thought of what I often say to the kids - “what do I know … I’m just the mom!” Lion Brand should be listening to you 😊
Nothing bothers me more than a color transition yarn that they have run out of.. and tied on more. .. of a non transition color. And its happened to me many times.. especially with Lion Brand . Thank you for the review Crystal. ❤
Same here. I’ve never had it like Lion Brand. I recently did an afghan and in one skein of ombre there were 6 knots that screwed it up.
I just ran across this using Lion Brand Landscapes Renewed. It wasn't only tied together, but I had to cut off the extra ends. I am new to crocheting and yarn in general. Thank you for letting me know I'm not alone.
Beautiful yarn. Good review. Thank you Crystal ❤
At first sight, I thought, "Eeew, yuck"
But after seeing it worked up, you changed my mind.
I crocheted a sweater with this yarn and that exact color! I personally loved working with it. It’s definitely between and 4 and 5. The gradient wasn’t terrible or the greatest but I still enjoyed the color change. Thanks for your videos Crystal! Much love ❤️

This is why we trust your reviews
I love to watch your eyes when you are doing a review. LOL
Thanks for reviewing this new yarn
I liked how sassy this review was 😂. I think I would like this yarn for the right project, too
Interesting. Thx for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I really appreciate your honesty ❤ the dried sample really did look like crap
LOVE your yarn reviews!!!
❤️💜💕🧶⭐️
Hi Crystal. Pretty yarn and looks soft. Sounds like it may have some cons I may not like. Thanks for your review.
I love your reviews. You know more about yarn than I ever will. I love your tutorials and have tried making many of them.
In thinking this yarn will be a hard NO! Thanks for sharing, Crystal🐾🐾🐾🐾
I agree,,polyester is such a cheap synthetic fibre and yet the price is over the top,
This is my second time watching this review. I saw that JoAnn has this yarn on sale and I found a 20% off regular and sale price items. So, I was able to get this yarn for under $6.

Wow, never heard blown yarn. Thank you!

I have learned the most about yarn from you! You know yarn! 💗🧶
Thank you for your reviews, I always value them. And I love the hat! 😊
Thanks for the review of the yarn. I'm glad you do this.
Crystal , Thank you for the review . I liked the color , but the part about it being not as soft after wash and dry is what will keep me from buying and the price . Love and Hugs .
5 for sure!
Thank you for your honest opinion on this new yarn.
Good review and a lot of good information. I personally would not pay full price, like Crystal said.
Oh I love your outfit today dear Ms. Brown BOD. You look cute. Thanks for your reviews. ❤❤❤
I do really like their ombre effect. It's nice to have another option with a good ombre; but I would definitely only buy this stuff on sale (as with most yarns). I always feel like I'm being ripped off when I pay full price at any chain store.
I honestly think you could do a winter cardigan. However it may pill and rub under the arms. I guess depends on the person wearing it. 😊
Based on how many times you said it was "so soft"...it makes me want to try it! And...I love to not have my yarn split while I'm crocheting... this one looked like a dream! Thanks for the review!
