Crochet and Knit Projects that Feel Like Butta (+ a Giveaway!)

by

I’ve got a really fun free pattern roundup and giveaway (stay tuned til the end!) for you guys today featuring my new favorite yarn, Feels Like Butta from Lion Brand Yarn!

Yarn that Feels Like Butta?!

Yep, it really does folks. I first squeezed these skeins during my trip to New York City for the #LBYBloggerBash and couldn’t believe the softness. I just kept stroking it and dreaming about what to make (more on that in a moment).

So what type of fiber is so soft? Polyester. (I know, I was surprised too!) When I think of polyester I think of something plasticky and, well, cheap. I was so surprised to learn that Butta is 100% polyester and has the smoothest, softest hand I’ve felt.

This yarn feels sort of like chenille and sort of like suede. A lot of polyester chenille-style yarns shred and lose their fuzziness as you work with it and it’s kept me away from yarns like this in the past, but Feels Like Butta does none of that!

The genius structure

Feels Like Butta yarn isn’t spun in the normal 2 or 4 ply twist that we see with most commercially made yarns, its structure is more like a cord structure. After some online digging, it looks like this type of spinning is called “cable plied” yarn, and is spun to create a strand that is virtually un-split-able (that’s definitely not a word).

Due to this unique structure, the stitch definition is just out of this world – which is amazing considering the softness of this yarn! You know how a lot of super soft yarns are also super fuzzy and hard to work with & nearly no stitch definition?

Feels Like Butta is really the best of both worlds.

Colored Butta

Lion Brand really thought ahead with this line of yarn – not only did they present a handful of beautiful pastels for perfect baby projects (let’s just assume you’re covering your whole house in Butta and the nursery is no exception), but they also thought about adults who love Butta (me!).

They put together some stunning colors for fashion-forward crocheting and knitting. Neutrals like Charcoal and pure White are offset with stunning deep Teal and Dusty Rose. I could go on and on about every single one of these options, but I’ll let you just browse for yourself here.

Due to the nature of Butta being brand new, there aren’t tons of patterns using it yet. I’ve gathered some patterns of mine that would work really well with Butta!

So grab a few skeins from LionBrand.com and make one of these perfect patterns.

  312. There are so many beautiful colors! I got Dusty Blue in my Happy Yarn Mail box, which I love!
    I think my favorite color overall would be the Royal Blue. Followed closely by Dusty Pink, Dusty Blue, Teal, and Charcoal!

  331. I love the pink or dusty rose they all look amazing and would love to have the chance to make something nice

  333. I’m really torn between Ice and Dusty Pink! I guess it really depends on what pattern I would use to make something with it.

  345. How can I choose just one color??? Loving them all ???????? Right now, I’m liking the yellow because it’s so cheery. I am looking to make a prayer shawl in Royal Blue, white and a little gold… but maybe use that yellow instead of the gold… ????

    Thank you for doing this giveaway. I am handicapped and live on a limited income so I cannot afford to buy a lot of yarn. Winning this would be a dream come true.

    Thank you.

  620. My favorite color of the Butta Yarn is the Teal with Royal Blue in a close 2nd.

  626. My favorite color is the pale pink in the cardigan. Very nice colors! Thanks for giveaway!

  632. Do you have crochet on utube? I am just beginning and I was looking for some good yarn I will try feels like a butte.

  633. Oh my, They are all so beautiful but my favorite color has to be the Dusty Rose. So beautiful!!

  641. It’s really hard to choose one color of this yarn! My first instinct is pink 101, then dusty blue 108 and then orange 133. Okay, that’s more than one, but, I did narrow it down!

  643. Blue has always been a favorite color for me and I think Lion Brand really hit it out of the park with the royal blue Butta. ????

  647. I would love to try this new yarn! I’m crocheting your Everyday Cardigan now. Love your patterns.

  649. I think my favorite colors are the dusty blue, ice, and lemon yellow. But all of the colors are wonderful!

  651. thanks for reviewing this product. Could you substitute it for a similar weight yarn for a hat pattern?

  654. Yellow! I love how soft this yarn is. I love the two skeins that came in my Happy Yarn Mail package.

  659. I really cannot decide!! They are all amazing! If I have to choose I would say pink! I cannot wait to make the Le Nuage Wrap.

  675. I can’t wait to touch this yarn! I think it would be fun to make a throw for the couch. So snuggly! The pale lavender color is my favorite.

  679. I love the dusty blue! Would love to work with more Lion brand yarn as I have only tried Vanna’s Choice so far. 🙂

  682. Would love to try all the colors they are all beautiful so hard to choose but if I have too I would like to try the teal or yellow

  683. Ohhhh this yarn sounds heavenly! I love cable-plied yarns for their unsplitability too. Cannot wait to get my hands on this product!

  691. I did Instagram just to see your site. I can’t wait to look more when I have time. I want to make a baby blanket for my granddaughter due in July and just got an email for the “feels like Butta” yarn. Sounds amazing!

  696. Royal Blue is my favorite color of Lion Brand Yarn in Butts …. So scrumptious! Thanks for the giveaway!

  697. My favorite color is Orange(#215-133). All of the colors of Butta are really nice.

  698. Is hard to just choose 1 color, they are all nice colors and each color brings a different item to make.
    But if I have to choose only one it would be the Lilac!

  700. Wow! I just received my Le Nuage Wrap kit today from Lion Brand Yarn. That Feels Like Butta yarn is the SOFTEST yarn I’ve ever felt! I can’t wait to get home and start crocheting with it. And I definitely see a sweater made of this in my future. Incredible!

  701. The photos of this show a chained yarn, not a cabled yarn. I’m a spinner and I know the difference. But photos can be misleading sometimes.

    I’ve been trying to find a local place that carries this yarn ever since I heard about it. Do you know of any of the big chain stores that sell it? So far, I’ve only found it online at Lion Brand.

    I really want to meet some of it in person to see the colors and feel the softness everyone’s claiming. I’ve found some yarns lately that have polyester in them or are 100% polyester, and they’ve been VERY soft!
