BernatAlize Blanket-EZ Yarn, White

I used this to make a baby blanket. Super easy and sooo soft!

The yarn is great but what is up with the box it came in?

I ran out of yarn for my blanket project and was very happy to find the same multi-colored variety on Amazon. I bought 3 skeins, excited that I would receive them within a couple days and could continue on with my project.I received them today and was dismayed to find that all three had a completely different shade of purple in them than the skeins previously purchased at Wal-Mart, though the color/style was supposed to be the same. I was expecting to be able to blend in the new yarn seamlessly but I cannot even use these because it would change the entire look of my blanket.My husband helped me identify from the packaging that Amazon is selling older batches of yarn manufactured in late 2018, which apparently used a different shade of purple in comparison to the batches of yarn from early 2019.It's not really anyone's fault but I'm still only giving three stars because overall I'm dissatisfied with the outcome of my purchase and will still have to go out and buy more skeins elsewhere in order to complete my blanket.

I began making a baby blanket and found the yarn broken and unwound. Very disappointed as I purchased 12 skeins for Christmas presents. Very hesitant to continue this project.

UPDATE: Baby blanket/nappie/swaddler etc. finished! Took 3 days but honestly I only spent about 3 hours in total working on it. Super easy to bind off & finish. No shedding, very plush & very thick. I used 1 skein for the project.**********************************************************************************************************Just for reference I am in my late 20's & have been crocheting for about 10 years or so off & on. I don't consider myself advanced (I can't read patterns, i just watch tutorials when I want to learn a new stitch or pattern. Also, my granny squares are trash) but I wouldn't say I am a newbie either.I needed to make a gift for a friend's baby shower and knew I wanted to make a blanket but between work and other things knew I didn't have the time to do what I wanted with basic yarn & a crochet hook. After some research I thought this would be the best yarn for the project and Amazon offered the best price.I am about halfway into the blanket now and am working a cross stitch pattern. After a bit of trial and error and a youtube video or two, I found it to be very easy to work with. The yarn is very soft like all Bernat yarn and because it is thick, your pattern will build very quickly. I was worried about keeping the loops straight when changing rows but have found it to be much easier going than I expected.I have not seen any color bleeding or shedding and my work surface is just my bed which is topped by a white and silver comforter. The colors do blend together so the ombre effect of the yarn is not as noticeable in the blanket I'm creating but I believe that is more so because of the pattern I am using.I have been skeptical about loop yarn since I came across it a few years ago but am very happy that I chose it for this project. I'll add a photo or two when finished!

Ordered one skein, received one case!! The yarn was great for making scarves and was able to make a blanket as well!!!

This yarn is the best of this type of yarn. It is softer than other brands. The skeins are larger than other brands. I was very pleased to work with this yarn!

I used the yarn to make a wreath. It is very easy to work with and crazy soft! I ordered 2 more colors to make another wreath and a scarf. Great quality.

Great, very bright, one ball made a scarf

This was my first time ever crochet. I did not read the description prior to purchasing and it was already looped. It comes with instructions on the inside of the package. I found going on YouTube to be easier for the tutorial. I was instantly addicted. Don't get discouraged after the first row. It was so easy to do but make sure you take a break in between otherwise your wrist will be on fire.... Lesson learned. I love this product it's super cozy. 8 just ordered 10 more balls of the unlooped yarn.

I'm not sure if it's because one of the skeins was already open (see first picture) or not because all three I bought had these little bits of brown SOMETHING (see third picture)...But, overall, I'm satisfied. The fabric itself is very soft and warm. There's a few places where the fabric gets thin (see fourth pic) but it doesn't damage the end result (in my case, a small blanket).The loops (see second pic) threw me for a loop (lol) but the instructions on the inside of the label helped me make a nice little blanket. I still prefer actual crocheting, but the whole "slipping loops through loops" to craft a thing isn't bad and many would probably find it easier than knitting or crochet.Anyway, yea, solid 4/5 and would only never buy again because I prefer crocheting.

Very disappointed in this product. I bought 3 skeins, the first skein was not to bad, but the other two were not has fluffy and soft. It almost looked liked it was used and returned. Some of the loops looked they were cut and then tied back. I have use all of them but not pleased with the quality. I have purchased other colours and they were very nice and full. I could use another 18 yard skein of seaport teals to finish off my throw, but am reluctant to purchase.

I liked the colour, but a bit disappointed in the quality. I found it not as soft and fluffy as the cream and the loops were not the same size, some were really small and some were bigger. There was also a variance in the spacing. I was able to use it, but just to let you know for further reference.
