all good
Love this yarn. Beautiful colour of blue. Can’t wait to knit something beautiful with it
this yarn is so nice and soft and the colour is great. I don't love when there are several knots joining yarn in one ball but other than that I really like this yarn :)
It’s bigger than I thought the medium was, actually checked to make sure it was not the large one lol. Really like the 2 loose boards to hold the extra puzzle pieces. It closes up completely so no pieces can fall out when it’s not in use. I have been looking at this for a couple of years, very happy I finally purchased it!
I haven’t made any of the patterns I bought but I will soon.
It’s a pound, works well on my project.
Lovely, fabulous colours
Excellent..
Who wouldn't want sparkling socks for the holidays...very nice yarn and a free pattern to go with it.
Such a pretty yarn. It works up so nice!
So pretty! I can’t wait to make a blanket with them!
I love it! I made a granny square blanket for a friend who loves the colour red.
A good yarn
Love it so much I got another one!
Absolutely LOVE Bernat Blanket Yarn. It’s super soft and is simple to wash. It’s the only yarn I use when making blankets to give for the senior citizens through a group called ‘Smiles for Seniors’. I love Mary Maxim for the fabulous prices on the yarn. I stock up when I see it on sale as each blanket takes a minimum of 5 large skeins. Many thanks for continuing to carry it.
