Crystal Palace Mini Mochi Yarn

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this yarn. It's super soft, and the color changes are smooth and lovely. I've encountered maybe one knot out of the 4+ balls I've used so far, which I consider a really awesome record next to some of the other color-changing yarns I've used. It holds up well with hand washing and gets a nice little halo after awhile, which I don't mind. However, it did catch a bit when I was frogging. Pros outweigh the cons, though, so I'll definitely be buying this again!

Mini Mochi yarn makes a beautiful scarf if knit in Eunny Jang's sea foam pattern. I think it is roughly a ball & a half pattern in this yarn. Knits quickly, is very soft.! I just ordered enough to make at least five scarves. Wonderful pairing of fiber & pattern!

The colors truly are gorgeous, as others have noted. I made a faux isle hat using Sandi Rosner's Mini Mochi Fair Isle Hat pattern as a base (modified to make it larger and slouchier) with Autumn Rainbow (2 balls.) The yarn is very soft, absolutely next to the skin soft. Since it is merino and single ply, it does develop a "halo" - I'm just hoping the halo doesn't move on to pills. I'm making a second faux isle hat (not the same pattern) with the other two colorways I purchased - one ball each of Rainbow Trout and Storm Clouds - regrettably taking out the lovely pink colors as I'm intending this one to be for a man. I did find one knot in the Rainbow Trout - none in the others. I'm not sure if I will buy this again. The colors are tempting but I will wait to see if the FOs pill. This was my first order from Paradise Fibers - I received the order VERY quickly - will definitely order from this shop again.

This is a gorgeous yarn, both to work with and to wear. The yarn slide nicely off the needles (bamboo) and doesn't split. I have made socks and a scarf with it. The socks I'm keeping for around the house, because they are so soft and warm. The scarf is luxuriously gentle against the skin and the fabric holds in the warmth ; I think I need a pair of gloves in this yarn as well! I hand-washed both the socks and the scarf and find the yarn 'snaps back' into place very well. The yarn has a slight halo once washed, but not enough to get up your nose or make you sneeze. Stitch definition is softer, but the yarn still shows the pattern. And the colors! Yummy!

I love this yarn...I was sent 2 different dye lots that were totally different and unusable. When I called, this problem was rectified immediately and I appreciate the quick response. I am now ready to use this wonderful yarn!

My only complaint would be that I intended to order 2 balls of yarn, and only one was available. But I'm much happier ordering 1 ball and getting it fast rather than ordering 2 and waiting. :) Easy to purchase, and arrived quickly, and was exactly what I ordered.

Pleasantly soft, OK to wear next to sensitive skin. Easy to work with, and VERY slight halo gives warmth to even lace pieces. Perfect for shawls, wraps, scarves, gauntlets, tunics, vests. I have not tried to make socks with it yet, so I can't speak as to the strength of it to withstand that kind of wear. LOVE IT !!!

Am making the "hitchiker scarf" and am thrilled with the gradual color changes in Autumn Rainbow. The yarn is soft and easy to work with. I may even buy more to knit a matching pair of socks.

The yarn is beautiful to look at and to feel. The pattern I want to use it for is going to be the envy of everyone who sees it. Yoy were the ones to provide the yarn in the quanity I needed. My local yarn shop does not order that many for store and said I would have to wait awhile for them to order for me, that's why I came to you, sad to say, You were on backorder too, but I do love the yarn and will be back to order more.

I plan to buy more of this yarn to make more socks!

I'm using this yarn to make a shawl. The colors are beautiful and blend together nicely. It's very soft and easy to knit. However, when I've made mistakes and have to rip out rows of stitches, it can catch and snag and must be handled very gently. The pros outweigh the cons, though, and I would use it again.

This yarn is beautiful. I've used it for baby items and for a scarf for myself. I love the long color repeats and the gorgeous color combination. It tends to snag and fuzz up a bit, but I love the look.

I love the colorways that Noro has, but it's so rough and scratchy that it's not very fun to wear. Mini Mochi is awesome because it has the same sorts of long repeating colorways but it's soft and smooshy and sooo soft to wear! The only thing that I don't like about it is that it's a losely spun single, so it isn't super strong. Fortunately the yarn is so soft and beautiful that it makes up for the things its lacking. :)

I am using this product for a shawl. It is very soft, delicate and I am enjoying working with it. I would buy it again. However, if you are a novice beginnner or experimenting on a pattern, it won't take kindly to repeated "rip-its" or "frogs" exactly because it is so delicate and fuzzy. I have lost some yarn because I couldn't unravel it or it had became "stringy".

Such a yummy yarn, so soft and such beautiful colors, I keep coming
back for more !

This yarn is so much fun to knit up, and the colors are so beautiful.
I keep ordering different color ways in this yarn because I enjoy
it so much.

This is my first time working with this weight yarn and it performed beautifully!

I bought a few balls of this yarn when Paradise ran a sale on it. The colors are just beautiful, and I really enjoyed the color progressions.

However, the yarn is a single (not plied) and is underspun. Sometimes it was as though I were knitting with roving! I also had trouble knitting with this yarn because, with insufficient twist to codify the yarn, my needle often split the yarn and slowed my knitting. I also see it advertised as a sock yarn, and I would definitely NOT use this as a sock yarn-- it isn't nearly durable enough for anything that would be subject to abrasion.

All that being said, I really enjoy the lacy cuffs I made out of them. For a lace shawl or something that will not have to stand up to wear, this is great yarn. The under-spun quality would also make it ideal for felting.
