Bernat Blanket Yarn, Amethyst

So far, this yarn has been one of my favorites to work with. I'm new to knitting and crocheting, but in just a few weeks, I loomed a queen-sized blanket that my entire family adores! So much so that I've already made a couch throw out of it. If anyone is interested, the queen-sized blanket took 16 big ball 10 to make. 5 oz loom knitting e- Wrap the whole thing up. Olive, pumpkin spice, vanilla, and light teal were used as the colors for this project. It took four big balls and ten throws to complete the throw. 5 oz sailor's delight and 1 3 oz sailor's 2 squares are knitted and the other two are double crocheted in a 5oz light teal yarn.

Imperfections in yarn quality, where some parts of the yarn thread appear to be "knicked" every now and then, causing a rough spot in my stitch-work. When the stitch was made, the rough spots looked like they were knicks or pulls that you'd get after a lot of use. There's also no way to do a russian join of the yarn when making a large item like a blanket. Because the yarn has no "core," that method is out, leaving you with either making a magic knot, or starting the yarn at the end of a row, which will show knots in your work. I started making a sofa size blanket for a Christmas gift for someone with this, but the imperfections and the fact that a good "join" is not an option for my stitch have caused me to return. The knot in the yarn so early in the process was the clincher for me. The only thing I can say in its favor is that it is extremely gentle. It is possible to make a smaller item, such as a scarf, without having to worry about the knots. But I was only about halfway through when I hit my first major snag. I finished tying and cutting the yarn, but the flaws in the strand began to show up only a few minutes later. I'd buy this yarn because of the softness if Bernat could manage some quality control. However, dealing with so many flaws is both frustrating and costly. I'd have more grace with a 99-cent skein of yarn. Making a large blanket is expensive at around $8 per skein, and you shouldn't have such flaws in such an expensive yarn. It's a pity because it's incredibly soft and the dark grey color is stunning. I just can't justify spending so much money on yarn that isn't perfect.

I used this, as well as Teal, Vintage White, Sonoma, and Mallard Wood, to make a custom blanket for my new nephew. This yarn has completely captured my heart. Because it's so lovely, I'd crochet myself some lingerie out of it. I'm serious. It's buttery soft, dense, and warm, and it works up quickly. It's also incredibly easy to work with, and the colors are stunning! I recommend using a size N/9mm crochet hook; anything smaller makes it too tight for me to work with, but I work tight. Now I'm working on a blanket in the same colors as my husband with a chevron pattern for us! I'm so happy!.

I'm using this yarn for the very first time. Normally, I use a different brand, but this was the only one that had the color I needed in the quantity I needed. The yarn itself has a few knots that I had to work around, but other brands I've used have knots as well, so it was on par. The weight of what I made ended up being nice and warm as well as soft. I won't know if it'll pill or how long it'll last in terms of threadbareness because it's a gift. br>br>What worries me is that I use a crochet hook with a soft, silicone-coated, ergonomic handle. I've used it before with different yarns and colors, and it worked fine. Purple was once my user name. The color transfer caused by using this yarn has resulted in patches of black. A photo of my hook is attached. It was once a more vibrant purple. The black around the metal-to-silicone interface can be seen. The darkening from the yarn's dye can be seen on the rest of the hook (the flash may have obscured it). br>br>For the time being, I would still advise caution when using this yarn. There are some suggestions for preventing items from bleeding out while being washed. These suggestions should be followed when making items with this yarn, in my opinion.

I bought my first three skeins of yarn at Michaels when I first started crocheting because it was so squishy and soft and didn't shed fibers. I knew it was God's way of telling me to make a blanket when I saw the taupe color on sale at Amazon (pattern calls for 6 skeins). The sand color, which I purchased with the taupe color, is also lovely, with a muted mustard gold hue. Since then, I've purchased seven more skeins of yarn to make a second blanket. This yarn is fantastic, and Bernat's website has a lot of free patterns.

I adore the thickness and softness of this yarn. My main gripes are that the thickness varies a lot, and that a couple of the skeins I ordered were slightly different colors, making the blanket I'm working on appear color blocked when it isn't (you can see the color difference in the photo I posted). Because it's for personal use, it's not a big deal, but it's something to consider.

This is my go-to yarn for making the coziest, warmest blankets you've ever seen, and it's super easy to work with because it doesn't split like other yarns. The dark gray color, on the other hand, bled onto the white during washing, completely changing the appearance of the blanket. After working so hard on this project, which was intended as a gift for a relative, this was extremely disappointing.

I bought four pale grey balls, and three of them had multiple knots running through them. I use the term "several" to refer to a group of five people. This is something I'd expect from a lower-cost yarn, but I was surprised by how many of these there were. There were none in the dark grey or vintage white, but there were a few in the pale grey. I'm hoping that won't be the case with the other colors I just got.
