Bernat Blanket Yarn, Sand Review

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 ebay 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.

Awesome yarn! Easy to use, makes a beautiful, soft and cozy blanket. Also great for scarves. Yarn recommends a size L hook which is good for afghans. I also used a size N for a scarf as it was all hdc and the N worked a little better. I used a combination of Country Blue and Vintage White for a baby blanket which came out gorgeous. I keep buying Bernat Blanket, it works up a project SO fast! Only drawback is that most of the big balls have at least one cut in them. Understandable from the…

I've only been knitting for a year or two, and I love this yarn, but be ready for achy thumbs. I've been using knitting to combat anxiety and depression, so I'm knitting a few (3-5) hours a day. While I love this yarn it has a tightness to it that makes my thumbs achy. I'm using it for a blanket for my hubby, and based on previous blankets I should be done already (it's been 3 weeks) I working through 6 skeins, and as of today 10/5 I've almost finished 3.

I love working with Bernat Blanket yarn! For some reason my Joanns doesn't carry this color, and the company website was out of stock. Lucky to find it here. This isn't the first time I've had to get my yarn here because Joann was out of stock. The yarn is the same quality, but costs a little more. Still, saves me a trip to the store and saves me time not having to wait for a color to be back in stock.

I needed more of this color than I was able to purchase at walmart, and was glad to find it here at an equivalent price. Arrived quickly enough and I was able to finish making my cloak.It's not my favorite yarn, but uber soft and nice to work with, and the cloak is warm and comfortable, if a bit heavy. It's definitely a blanket yarn.I just wish that I didn't have to purchase as many balls as I did for a single project. For a blanket yarn, I would expect larger skeins so I don't have to have as…

Let me start by saying that I absolutely love this yarn, however, the one skein I purchased (out of 4) was an entirely different shade from the rest that I received and also there were knots throughout the skein where it had been tied together. Now the skein that was deformed was a very nice soft colored light grey shade. The other three looked more tan than grey, so I had to finish my project using the tannish colored yarn which was not cool seeing as the recipient specifically requested light

I used this along with Taupe, 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

I do really love this yarn—however, it is very difficult to work with as a beginner. It is hard to see your stitches if you need to look back especially on darker colors. The texture of the yarn was also different from color to color-back had almost no stretch or "plushness” as they lighter colors.With that said, it makes super cozy and plush blankets. More experienced knitters/crocheters will probably work with more ease. Pictured are my first two knitted blankets. I am self-taught and only…

This is wonderful stuff. A friend gifted me 3 skeins of Silver Steel , enough to make an afghan using a hdc, sl st repeated design, using a P/16 hook . I decided I wanted a border on it, so I ordered this hoping to pick up the medium grey of the silver steel, and added a 3 row border using sc, hdc, and dc rows, making the finished size 42"x72". As a FYI, this is NOT the medium grey used in the Silver Steel, it is a shade lighter, but there is not enough difference between those 2 greys…

So this yarn is great quality and is soft and nice but when I wanted to buy more yarn I just decided to go to Michaels instead because they have the same yarn in the same color (pale grey) but when I got it from the store and brought it home I realized they were 2 different colors even though they both are supposedly pale grey, the one from Michaels looks much more like a pale grey then the one I bought from here which is kind of annoying. Another think I noticed is that the yarn I got at…

Overall I was pleased with the color and size of the skein. However, I did notice a couple of small knots as stated from previous reviews but nothing too much that has me concerned. The yarn is soft like it should be. The items were packed well. No smell or noticeable stains. I'm using this item to make a blanket. I am pleased with this product. I plan to buy more from this vendor. Shipment arrived on time as well.

Like this yarn. thick. easy to work. hadn't crocheted in years and decided to get back into it. got this yarn and made throw. it came out beautiful (of course). decided to make another. found yarn on amazon which is nice as they have better selection of colors than local store. FYI, I used N hook.Update 04/18. Still using this blanket yarn for other projects. Love it. Does well in washer and dryer. I like the multi color yarns the best. Easy and - for me - blankets if all sizes come out great.

I have had this same issue with multiple yarn products from this company, so it is not exclusive to the gray color. There will come a point in the yarn where it is just no longer attached to the rest of the yarn. A huge portion was just a giant waste out of this ball as it looked attached, and all part of one product but just wasn’t, it was a whole separate piece. For the price, that is really taking advantage of customers.

It wasn't grey at all. It was more brown or tan. Sad, I wanted it to match but nope. It was beautifully saft and luxurious. May require additional care during storage to avoid damage or distortion.

I’m crocheting a blanket with this yarn and I love the feel of it and how pretty it looks. But on my last order, the yarn wasn’t in one piece. I pulled off all these loose strands/broken pieces of yarn. Total waste and it wasn’t just a small piece gone. Sincerely hoping there’s not any more!

Absolutely beautiful color way! I originally ordered this to be reusable water balloons but loved the color way so much I am making a baby blanket to have in my ready to gift stash!

I made a blanket for my granddaughter; she picked the color; I added four stripes of faux chinchilla fur. She loved it. So far I have crocheted 7 blankets using this yarn. Everyone loves the softness of the blankets. It comes in many colors. I washed and dried two of them to see how they would turn out. They came out perfectly; same as before they were washed and dried.

After I made my first Afghan for my family using this wonderful, thick, squishy, warm, colorful yarn, everyone wanted one. I'm glad they have so many wonderful colors to combine and they sure are a big hit with everyone I've made gifts for. I always include one of the paper bands that secure the ball/skein and point out the washing instructions, since the material is 100% polyester. The resulting material is wonderfully soft and strong.

The skeins were smaller than expected even though I thought I had read the description and reviews carefully to get the right size

I've seen a lot of posts and pins about the reusable eco-friendly water balloons. I thought I'd give it a try. I had to tinker with the free pattern a bit to find a way that suited my tight crochet style, but I eventually worked up a bunch with a K hook and some modifications. I got about 16 balloons out of this big ball. My 12-year-old son thought they might be lame, but pronounced them "epic" after actually trying them. They do wash up well (even with the pine needles that got stuck in them…
