BernatForever Fleece Coal Yarn - 2 Pack of 280g/9.9oz - Polyester - 6 Super Bulky - 194 Yards - Knitting/Crochet

This yarn is seriously the softest yarn I've ever felt. I sat here running it through my hands for quite a while before I finally started knitting with it! I'm making hats and mittens to donate to Coats for Kids this fall, and this yarn is perfect for hats; and being #6 super chunky it knits up very quickly. It's definitely yarn that would feel good next to the skin. The one odd thing about it is that it doesn't have plys as such but looks like someone just pulled a strand of thick cotton out long enough to be a skein of yarn, kind of loose, so you have to be careful not to constantly poke your needle through the strands when knitting with it. This may be characteristic of #6 yarn, I'm not sure since this is the first time I've worked with anything this thick. Also, it calls for size 13 needles, and since the yarn is so soft and the needles are so huge it's a little hard to control while knitting; my hands were cramping up the whole way along from trying to keep it from sliding off the needles because it's so soft and slippery. But it works up lovely!

I get into these phases where I want to crotchet all the things. My niece came for a visit and I decided I wanted to make her a cardigan. I looked for a yarn similar to another that I’ve used before. Found this and am sooo happy with the results. The cardigan was a little big on her, but she loves it. She’s an old soul who appreciates things like this and I love that about her.

The media could not be loaded. This is one of my favorites! I’m an intermediate crocheter, and I’ve tried a lot of yarns. This is very unique and special yarn. I haven’t found anything else that comes close to this yarn. It’s amazing for blankets and pillows, and it’s perfect for amiurumi! I have gotten this in a few different colors, as you can see in the picture. That is a blanket I made using Rumpus Red, Violet Haze, and Rose Hip. I used the Patchouli for a stuffed piggy I made as a gift for my baby niece and I forgot to take a picture of it. Sorry, but it turned out adorably!So, you can see the blanket, the knots from the stitches are extremely strong. The thickness is a perfect 5 weight. It’s washable, as stated on the label, and best of all, it’s so soft and easy to use. Works up fast because it’s a 5 weight, and it’s extremely soft. The yarn feel reminds me of a flannel shirt. The colors are all more beautiful in person than they appear in the item pictures. If you’ve never tried it, I strongly suggest you do. You’ll probably fall in love with it like I have. My niece loves her pig I made for her, and snuggles with it, as a security pig, every night I’m told. The blanket is heavy and very warm, but somehow it’s also light enough to be used in spring and summer nights. I had to order more because we all take turns using the blanket, so I’m making another one. I hope you enjoy this yarn as much as I do

Very soft yarn that works up with nice stitch definition. I made a large afghan and have gotten several compliments from friends. I have the balsam color. It’s a very nice neutral - maybe a light taupe color. The name balsam can be deceiving if you’re thinking of a balsam tree. I did machine wash and dry it, however, I made sure to use low heat and short cycles which worked very well. I would definitely select this yarn again.

My new go to yarn for blankets for the grandkids. Works up quickly. Kids think it is cuddly.

So soft and easy to crochet with. Made a baby blanket. Loved the color and it’s even softer than the Bernat Blanket yarn.

Very soft and doesn’t split when using. BUTit is nearly impossible to spool it. Hold it too tight, it explodes. Hold it at the wrong angle, it explodes. Speak kindly to it and offer it gifts, it flips you the bird. Speak harshly and threaten to cut it, it lights a cigarette and laughs. It finally started cooperating after I promised it my first born.Once it’s spooled, it’s very nice to use.

Nice material
