Review on Red Heart Super Saver Bonbon by Carrie Spencer

Revainrating 1 out of 5

It must not be sold under any circumstances!

I'm just starting to use this yarn. As already mentioned, this is a jumbo skein. I understand but I don't like finding the knot that connects the yarn to get the right length. But when I folded this yarn into a skein and found at least 6 knots, I was seriously upset. My yarn seems to be made from scraps. This cannot be returned as I have passed the return date. I think any yarn that is not a continuous piece and needs to be knitted together should be sold/labeled as somewhat imperfect. Even if they don't lower the price, the buyer needs to know what they're getting. This yarn looked amazing on the outside, how was I to know that if the yarn I was going to use for the Christmas present would use the whole skein (hence buying a large size), it would end up being useless. I bought the jumbo size so I didn't have to add another strand to complete the gift. If I were to use this yarn I would have to cut out the knots otherwise they would show up in the pattern/stitch I am using. Cutting 6 knots would mean running out of yarn and having to buy another skein to complete the project. Another hit, I paid about double what I paid today. Just not right!

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • piggy bank price
