Rainy Day Bernat POP! - 5Oz Medium Gauge 100% Acrylic Yarn Review

I have only purchased this yarn from ebay. I was very pleased with it except for one issue. Several times through each ball of yarn there would be a short length of yarn that was 'stained' from another color in the ball. Like the dye from another color in the ball dripped onto another color. In my project it didn't make a big deal but for certain projects you would need to cut out those sections and rejoin.

I used Bernat Full Spectrum to start a blanket, using a batch I found at Walmart. Once I ran out, I quickly realized that Walmart doesn’t restock the same yarns; they’re pretty random with what they carry. Walmart.com failed me too, but ebay had me covered. The colors match (as well they should), colors start and start on a random color, but follow the same pattern (which is normal), and the loft is quite lofty (not as thick as Bernat Blanket yarn, but denser than Mandala yarns), and a breeze…

Making a blanket. The colors are very preaty but the yarn its self is so off, some of the colors of the yarn have alot to work with and then some colors are so short I didn't have enough to work with. then some of the yarn looks as if it was cut and replaced with the same color. I realize as the blanket gets bigger I would need more yarn have bought the same yarn over again but its still the same that's why I'm only giving it 3 stars

This yarn is thick for worsted weight yarn and it isn't particularly soft. The colors, however, are pretty. It is easy to work with.My 91 year old mom had almost finished an afghan made of this yarn and decided it wasn't good enough so took it apart and started crocheting with something else. She is a little forgetful. I started to crochet an afghan using the forgotten yarn from the torn apart afghan for something to do while spending afternoons with mom. Unfortunately, some of the yarn…

The wonderful thing about these yarns is the color changes that make it self-striping. Unfortunately, several of the 8 skeins needed per afghan had the colors wound in reverse, which is a problem if you aren't aware of it in time, and a nuisance, even if you realize it.This yarn also varies in consistency, sometimes becoming so thin I had to cut out lengths of spindly yarn and re-start where the yarn was thicker. Often when the colors change there is not a smooth transition, but a small, tight…

Pro: Easy to work with and soft to the touch. Nice color changes.Con: Bits of different colors occasionally appeared in wrong places. Didn’t affect the item I was making, but could be an issue in item being made.

Beautiful colors but cheap, nasty yarn! Went from nice yarn to absolute junk that had to be cut out sections. It may not be as suitable for lace patterns!

I was given several balls of this yarn in various colors, so I decided to mix them up & make a couple of knitted blankets. Of course, I didn’t have enough of the yarn, so I purchased several more on ebay to make a good size blanket. On this order, I purchased Hot Chocolate and Birch Bark & Blue colors.I was surprised when the balls came in the same color combinations, but not necessarily in the same orders or proportions. It didn’t change how I used them, just wasn’t what I expected.I find that

I was amazed at how soft this yarn was. Decided to make a baby blanket that I’d like to sell. The color change was sometimes odd but in a large project it wouldn’t be obvious. Great colors.soft hues that just made me happy to create.

It would work well for a small tote bag or a scarf that is a little heavier for warmth.Very nice quality and color combinations.

I made this afgan with the yarn. It was a stich along project taught by Mikey from "The crochet crowd"a lot of fun and loved how it turned out.

This was genuinely pretty nice yarn to work with, though figuring out the optimal number of stitches to make the self striping work best was a little difficult. The color schemes are all beautiful.

I love how the colors look when the croched item is finished. I love how it is so soft and very easy to work with. Very satisfied.

I use this yarn for many crochet projects and find that it is great. I get much more product in a cake than I seem to in a skein. My finished products are durable and very soft. In spite of a higher price than other products, I enjoy the color changes as well as colors in various cakes.

I love this yarn! I am using it to make a blanket for my newest grandson. It is so soft and warm and will work perfectly for keeping him warm as we go into spring.

Colours are vibrate & truly pop :DVery complimentary to warm skin tones and a breath of air to crochet with. Love it, thank you so much. ♡Have a beautiful & blessed week. X

Soft and love the colors. The yarn spoils out one color fully before starting on the second so it makes nice, thick rows on a blanket or scarf.

This yarn fluctuated between thickness. At times it was normal and then would thin to shiny string that didn't work for a warm afghan. I had to cut yards out multiple times so my afghan wouldn't look ridiculous. Very disappointing

I crocheted an Afghan. It’s soft and doesn’t split while crocheting. Colors don’t fade during machine wash and drying. 4 cakes to create this round Afghan on a queen size bed

The skeins had many color flaws in them, worked around them but not happy about it, yarn wasted having to keep tying off every few inches. The gold, look at the difference, not happy.
