Lion Brand Yarn Reviews 

Lion Brand Wool-Ease thick and quick yarn is my number 1 yarn for several years. It's easy to work with and easy machine washable and dryable.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I placed an order 2weeks ago and still hasn’t been shipped yet. The problem is when I go to their return page they are charging me $42.00 to ship back but I only paid $13.00 shipping originally.

Sent my order to a delivery point. Tracking number states the order has not arrived. Paid for in November 2025. It is now march 2026 and still no goods. Why send on online purchase to a pick up point and not direct to customer? No idea where pick up point is on tracking app. This company must be a scam.

After waiting an extended amount of time to receive an order it came without two skeins of yarn that they have in stock. After sending out multiple emails to customer service they reached out saying I needed to jump through hoops and send my email elsewhere. A paying customer should not be made to do more work when the company is in the wrong. To boot one of the skeins of yarn is twisted in knots halfway through that I have to recut and tie to make it look presentable. Will not be purchasing Lion Brand again.

Love all of the yarn and patterns available and taking advantage of the wonderful sales on their yarn and kits!

I have used Lion Brand Yarn for years!I really enjoy using it. Right now, I am working on Red White and blue lap robes for our local VA hospital.

I love love Lion Brand Yarn! I want to stand out with my projects and it’s because of variety I do with LB.

I want to be able to love this company! Great product and selection! Horrible customer service and getting orders out! Pretty sure they have blanket replies written that are copied and pasted when you reach out. Placed an order 3 weeks ago and can’t give me an answer on status! And of course it’s too late to cancel!

My package from Lion Brand was in a post office in my state for about 2 weeks. The tracking number then disappeared from the USPS website . I had contacted Lion Brand before about this odd delay and they answered me once. But they have not answered my email since. I requested a refund and received no reply. There is no telephone number I could find to contact them and request a refund. They don't answer their support emails. My order was for over $130 . I would like a refund but there's no response from Lion Brand. The package was insured.
I've been ordering from Lion Brand for years and never had a problem. Maybe this is one of those companies that you can depend on if everything goes well but they are not good with problems or customer service (in my experience).

Terrible customer service. I tried multiple times to get orders cancelled and they never answered my emails. I just got an email to say they shipped the order anyway.

The review links don't allow me to review the products. The Re-Up Bonus Bundle® Yarn was not at all soft. It was scratchy and caused burns on my fingers. Tiny shards of plastic also left splinters.

I have been trying to get a refund for an order I placed in OCTOBER of 2025. It is now the end of January 2026. The problem started when I went to return a color from my order and was never given a return label. The website told me they were processing my return so I figured it would take some time and I was patient with them. A few weeks later I decide to return some other colors and it generated a return label right away! Thats when I realized something was wrong, so I contacted customer service, and they told me I could return the two orders in a single box using the shipping label I did get. I followed their instructions exactly, and tracking confirms the package was delivered to them. I was then given a refund for only one return (the one associated with the label I used) and they are now claiming the second return was “not in the box,” despite both returns being shipped together. If the box was received and one return was processed, then they have the other yarn I returned and are denying the error on their end.

Weeks later, I am still missing part of my refund. I have spent hours trying to get this sorted out with them and they are not willing to help in the slightest. They are rude to me, and have never once shown me that they are listening or even care. this experience with them has been a complete nightmare.

During the 2025 Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale, I purchased two bundle sets of yarn: a dozen skeins of Heartland and a dozen skeins of Basic Stitch Skein Tones. When I added these to my cart, an additional set of each item appeared with FREE listed as the price. I'm thinking it's a surprise bonus. Cool, right?

Two weeks elapse, the order ships, then finally arrives; the original two sets are in the box, nothing additional. I check the website to see "partial" under fulfillment status. All e-mails state that "some" of my items were on the way or delivered.

Okay, but where are the others? I drop an e-mail to customer service asking for clarification. No response. I wind up writing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau; LBY opts not to contact me despite the BBB asking them to do so. It's now been approximately one month without any contact other than one automated response acknowledging my initial e-mail request.

I'm not asking for the moon; if it *was* a bonus promo and they ran out of stock, I said what I'd accept as a substitute (different colors from the same product lines, which is not outrageous).

The yarn quality is there, which is why I made a purchase in the first place. The lack of care and follow through from the customer service team as well as senior staff really rankles.

More than two weeks passed my order time, the yarns are not even shipped yet. several attempts to contact the customer service, I only receive automated messages. No real person to solve the issue.

Skiens were smaller than I expected. Price was good, but I may not have enough to use for what I orriginally intended. At lese I have other projects that t will work for.

Always quality yarn at great prices

I made 5 of these hats already. Pattern is easy to follow, hats are thick, warm and you can see the big knit. I love them

I can't buy the yarn in bulk and the shipping times are incredibly long. The shipping window is HUGE and quality control is lacking because sometimes I have a skein that is COMPLETELY different from ones of the same color and texture. My other sources for this yarn ship much quicker and it costs a lot less.

I placed my order too quickly and immediately sent an email to customer service asking for assistance. I requested that they please ship my order quickly instead of the 3-9 days indicated AFTER I placed my order. I said in my email that I was willing to pay the extra money to get my order delivered earlier. I wanted the yarn to make a Christmas gift and had calculated that I had enough time if I got the yarn earlier than 9 days. It took eight days for me to get a reply; the reply indicated that my email had been “misdirected” and were just getting it then. The email further went on to ask if my issues had been addressed. I wrote back letting them know that they were not addressed and I was still looking for a positive resolution. I never heard back a single word.
My yarn was scheduled to be delivered on 12/12 and was delayed until 12/17 at which point it was too late
to complete my project. And, I never heard from their customer service again. I will never buy Lion Brand yarn again and I urge anyone who reads this review to do the same.

What made this experience great is that I am saw a video on how to make this eyelet scarf! It was made by someone of whom I learned this pattern! This was inspirational, but I was making this pattern for a young child,with soli yarn, but because of this video, the person who did this pattern, she used this Mandala Sparkle yarn! Truly this is a sparkle of love! Soon as I get done with the young girl's scarf, I'm going to make me one using this beautiful yarn! I'm very excited!!
