Blanket Ombre

Orange review The orange stripe wowed me. These are not at all any of my favorite colors but I love the look of the blanket it made is is so quintessential fall, retro colors and mid century modern nod that I can not help but adora it. Genuinely like and find this yard easy to work with! Purple Update The purple stripe is a pretty color. I found my way with working with the stripe colorway a second time to getting a nice length of color, thickness of stripes and nice looking trim with the purple and grey blanket. Very soft to use, love the texture and one skein is perfect for a blanket for small to medium rescue dogs. Original review I did not like this stripe as much as I have liked some of the ombre color ways that I have used. The one that I used that was stunning goes from like a vanilla to a sea blue. I really like the transition of colors of that yarn more so than in this specific color. I do think that when finished it did look nice. However, the transition was a bit more stark than another yarn that I have used from this collection. I found the yarn easy to work with. I liked the size blanket that I was able to create with a 12 MM acrylic hook. One skein completed a nice generous size blanket for a small to medium shelter dog up for adoption. The yarn is incredibly soft. I find it easy to work with and texture wise pleasant. The care instructions for it once crafted into something is to wash on a delicate cycle and either dry on low heat or air dry. When I was tightening the knot at the end of the blanket after finishing crocheting, it did break off/ split yarn in half. I think I was pulling extremely hard as well. So just be aware of that would be my recommendation.

This is the only yarn that I use. It is becoming increasingly hard to find and more and more expensive. It is unbelievably soft and easy to work with. I am rather disgusted that I have to buy them in packs of two as some of my projects only require three skeins and I am forced to buy two packages of two if I want three skeins.

Great colors! Very soft, needed an extra large hook to crochet my blanket.

Nice thick yarn

I love Bernat blanket yarn. I have made more than 20 baby blankets with this yarn & it is so easy to use, so soft. This color was so pretty & soft. Baby's mom used it right in hospital!

I love this yarn. It is so soft. The only thing I didnt like is how harsh the color change is in the middle of the roll. (It goes from dark straight to light) but I rewound then and made it so that they fade in and out. On a side note im really happy how my blanket turned out (I only tore it out and restarted like 13 times.....one of which i was almost done but decided I could do better and then changed the whole pattern. I ended up doing a single crochet star blanket in the end)

Benat is just the best chenille yarn. Reliably as advertised, few knots and great colors.

I was having trouble finding yarn for a blanket and hope this would be a good color. It definitely is.
