Overview
Feels Like Butta is Lion Brand's worsted weight yarn spun from a soft man-made fiber, sold as a single 3.5 oz / 218 yd skein in Dusty Pink. It suits crocheters and knitters making blankets, amigurumi, and garments who want a plush hand feel without hand-washing.
The butta name refers to texture, not fiber content; this is a synthetic yarn engineered to glide on hooks and needles rather than a natural-fiber softness. Because it is sold as a single skein, larger projects like blankets need multiple skeins purchased together to avoid dye-lot mismatches. OEKO-TEX certification covers chemical safety testing, not the fiber itself.
- 3.5 oz / 218 yd worsted weight skein
- Machine washable and dryable
- OEKO-TEX Standard certified
- Sold in Dusty Pink, one skein per pack
Who it's for
Crocheters and knitters working on baby items, stuffed animals, or cozy accessories where a smooth, non-scratchy surface matters more than natural fiber. Less suited to anyone who prefers wool's warmth-to-weight ratio or is stocking a large blanket from one order.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Machine washable and dryable
- Smooth glide reduces hand fatigue while stitching
- OEKO-TEX certified for chemical safety
- Standard worsted gauge fits most patterns
- Single skein only; dye lots may vary
- Man-made fiber, not a natural-fiber option
Performance notes
The worsted weight and stated gauges (16 sc x 19 r on a G-6 / 4mm hook, 18 sts x 26 r on a #7 / 4.5mm needle for a 4 in swatch) put it in line with standard medium-weight patterns, so most worsted patterns should translate directly. Machine washable and dryable care means finished pieces hold up to regular laundering rather than needing hand washing.
