Twist Light Madelinetosh Yarn Review

When you're looking for a certain type of yarn to really make a bold statement, then you need to look outside the box of your normal go-to yarns. Jimmy Beans Wool has a neat Madelinetosh Yarn line based on the zodiac signs.


Each skein of Twist Light Madelinetosh Yarn is made of 75% merino wool and 25% nylon with 420 yards of fingering yarn. When knitting you can get 26-30 stitches and with crochet you can get 21-32 stitches; there is more than enough yarn to complete a pair of socks! There are beautiful colors to choose from that include zodiac signs like Gemini, Scorpio and Libra. There are also many other non-zodiac colors like Antique Lace, Heartbeat, Grasshopper, Whiskey Barrel, Spicewood and more. 


Something to make note of is that each skein is hand dyed in small batches, so there is no dye lot, which means the skeins can vary, slightly. What's amazing about the skeins being hand dyed is that each one becomes a beautiful piece of art; hue, saturation and coloring can be a bit off even within the same dye batch, but it’s guaranteed to still look fabulous.


With Twist Light being such a soft and durable yarn, you really will enjoy working with it and like it even better when wearing it. You don't have to worry about pilling, and the definition of each stitch is nicely visible. The texture of the yarn itself is amazing so you can only imagine how it'll be worked into a project.  Twist Light Yarn should certainly be next on your list to try!
