Quick & Easy
I purchased this yarn in Denim to make a baby blanket for my nephew. Since this was the first time I’ve used loop yarn, I decided to keep it simple by using the straightforward knit stitch. The project was fun, not too time consuming and turned out great. The only negative, was that some of the white loops had a noticeable yellow tint, which actually made them appear stained; which detracted from the finished product slightly. I would use this yarn again, but will definitely refrain from any color combination that had white in it.

Very soft
I started this afghan and it did not give instructions of how to attach a new skein and luckily I read a review to find out how to add a new skein. Thank you for that review. Really going to enjoy making this blanket to completion.

Fun and Easy Weekend Project
I bought six balls of yarn (because that's what the instructions said) in the color slate gray. I'm really happy of how it turned out. I actually reached 60" after five balls of yarn. I already had the sixth, so I used it. I final blanket was 72". This took me a total of 8-10 hours to finish this project. I personally did not find the instructions super useful, just for lengths. So I went under videos and selected the simple stitch, blue scarf, and did that but for a blanket. After I was done, I noticed there were some loose loops created by accidentally missing a loop. I took a needle and thread and sewed them into the blanket, and you would never know. This project is super easy and I would totally do it again!

So fast!
My first project with this yarn, a simple stitch to get used to handling it. VERY satisfying to finish! So light and fluffy and soooooft! Fun to work with. Warm blanket that doesn't feel heavy. Did I mention that it's incredibly soft?
I did have to make up how to join a new skein since that wasn't in the instructions (hold last and first loops together and work as if they are a single loop, then treat them as a single loop again when you come back to them on the next row). But it all came out great! Going back and picking up loose loops is annoying though
easy, so check for loose loops often!
Oh, and don't tug on the first loop too hard, it might come undone. Not a major obstacle, but an avoidable nuisance. I had it happen on two of six of the skeins.
I totally recommend this for a blanket you want to bury your face in! It is so soft! lol
Beware, you might not want to gift it after making it!
