Brand new to crochet, I bought my first 3 skeins at Michaels because this yarn was so squishy and soft without shedding fiber. When I saw the taupe color on sale at Amazon it was God’s way to tell me to make a blanket (pattern calls for 6 skeins). The sand color i bought with the taupe color is also yummy, a muted mustard gold color. I have since bought 7 more skeins to crochet a 2nd blanket. I am loving this yarn and the free patterns offered on Bernat’s web site.

This is my favorite yarn for making the warmest, most comfy blankets you can imagine. It is so easy to work with because it doesn’t split like other yarns. The dark gray color however, bled onto the white during washing, changing the entire look of the blanket. This was very disappointing after working so hard on this project which was a gift for a relative.

Good for doing slippers, very cossy for winter

This is the first time I’m using this yarn. I usually use a different brand. However, this was the one that had a specific color in the amount that I needed. The yarn itself has some knots in it which I had to work around, however other brands I’ve used have knots, too, so it was on the same level. The end result of the weight of what I made came out nice and warm, it was also soft. It is a gift so I will not know if it will pill or how long it will last in terms of threadbareness.
What I am concerned about is that I use a crochet hook with a soft, silicone, ergonomic handle. I’ve used it with other yarns before, other colors, no problem. My handle USED to be purple. After using this yarn it now has patches of black due to the color transfer. I attached a picture of my hook. It used to be a brighter purple. You can see the black around the edge where the metal meets the silicone. The rest of the hook, that’s the darkening from the dye of the yarn (the flash might have gotten in the way of showing it on the rest of the hook clearly).
I would still recommend this yarn, for now, but with caution. There are tips on how to prevent items from bleeding out in the wash. I think these tips should be used when you make items with this yarn.

One of my favorite yarns to work with so far! I’m new to knitting and crochet and I made a queen sized blanket on a loom in just a couple weeks and the whole family loves it! So much so I already made a throw for the couch.
If anyone would like to know the queen sized blanket took 16 big ball 10.5oz knitting on loom e-wrap whole thing. Colors used olive, pumpkin spice, vanilla, and light teal. Throw took 4 big ball 10.5oz sailors delight and 1 3.5oz light teal 2 squares are knitted other two are double crochet

I used this along with Teal, Vintage White, Sonoma and Mallard Wood to crochet my brand new nephew a custom blanket. I am absolutely in LOVE with this yarn. I would crochet myself lingerie out of this because it is so wonderful. Seriously. It is sooooo butter soft, dense, warm, works up quickly, is sooo easy to work with and the colors are incredible! I recommend using a size N/9mm crochet hook, anything smaller and it gets a bit too tight for me, but I tend to work tight. Now I’m working on a blanket for me and my husband in the same colors and a chevron pattern! So excited!!

This is not the cheapest yarn out there and you need a good deal of it when making a blanket so when I am working with this I don’t expect it to be several pieces tied together in one roll. I bought 4 pale grey balls and 3 out of the 4 had several places all through it that were tied together. By several, I mean 5-6. I would expect this from a cheaper yarn, but was surprised at how many these had in it. The dark grey and vintage white did not have any, but the pale grey had several. Hopefully that is not the case with the other colors I just recently purchased.

I really love how thick and soft this yarn is. My main complaints are that the thickness can be pretty inconsistent and a couple of the skeins I ordered were a slightly different color, which makes the blanket I’m making look color blocked when it’s not (you can kind of see the color difference in the photo I posted). Not a big deal because it’s for personal use, but something to keep in mind.

Disappointing. Bought this to avoid multiple joins, only to discover each giant ball was multiple small balls tied together. Could have purchased same wool much cheaper in smaller balls had i known that was all this is anyway. Aside from that its lovely soft chunky wool, but the colour rubs off (i ordered black).

Yarn has obvious cuts/knots/and has been tied together. Imperfections in yarn quality, some parts of the yarn thread look “knicked” every so often, putting a rough spot in my stitch—-the rough spots looked kind of like it was a knick or pull you’d have after tons of use when the stitch was made. Also, if making a large item like a blanket, there is no way to do a russian join of the yarn. There is no “core” to the yarn, so that method is out and that leaves you making a magic knot, etc. which shows knots in your work *or* starting the yarn at the end of a row. If you start at the end of a row, you lose a lot of yarn and possibly ends will be loose over time. I started to make a sofa size blanket for a Christmas gift for someone with this, but with the imperfections and the fact that a good “join” is not an option for my stitch, I am returning. The kicker for me was the knot so soon in the yarn. The one positive I can say about it is that it is very, very soft. For a smaller item like a scarf, etc. it is possible you can make an item without the knots bothering you. But, I was only less than halfway in and encountered my first major re-tie and cutting of the yarn, but the imperfections on the yarn strand started barely into my work. If Bernat could manage some quality control over this yarn, I would buy for the softness. But, it’s too frustrating and too expensive to encounter so many imperfections. On a 99 cent skein of yarn, I’d have more grace. At about $8 a pop per skein, making a large blanket is pricey and you should not have such imperfections in such a pricey yarn. It’s really a shame, it is super soft and the dark grey is a lovely color. I just can’t stand to pay this much for yarn that is imperfect.
