Aqua Shells baby afghan.

I love this baby afghan! This is the third one I’ve made. Easy to crochet and the final product is so beautiful. 🤩🥰

The pattern was easy to follow and turned out BEAUTIFUL. I ordered the pink rainbow color and the gorgeous border really made it pop. The Prism yarn is fabulous. The colors are bright; the yarn has a neat sheen, and the yarn does not separate so it is easy to crochet. I ordered more Prism yarn for other projects in many different color combinations. It arrived very quickly after ordering. I made the afghan a little longer and had enough yarn leftover to make a matching baby hat.

the colors were to bold for a baby blanket. I wanted the blue colors.

Hi Barbara, we're sorry to hear that the colors of the afghan didn't meet your expectations. I provided a link to our return portal or you may contact customer service for further assistance with returns. https://www.marymaxim.ca/pages/refund-policy

"Busy Hands" has me busy at the moment!

I haven't started the two projects I recently received as I am very busy with "Busy Hands" at our Church - we are making Lap Robes for Wounded Warriors for Christmas. Last year we gave 117 projects to them. Thanks for asking. I'll be back soon. Joan Balogh

Prism yarn was awful

The pattern is great. Beautiful and easy to follow. The prism yarn, however, is awful. It was thin in spots, frayed in spots, tied together in multiple places. Worst yarn I've ever used.

Hello Robin, thank you for your feedback. We apologize for any frustration that you may have experienced. Prism is a truly unique, roving style yarn. It is designed to create stunning effects by varying in thickness and color. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with this yarn. Please let us know if you need any further assistance. We are here to help!

I was working on it

I was working on it while on a cruise, and got so many complements on the color combo and pattern.

Ran out of yarn

This blanket was quick and easy to crochet. It turned out lovely so far....
I ran out of yarn while I was half way around the final border row! Ugh! I can order another ball of yarn to finish the project, however the shipping charge is more than the yarn.

Hi Ruthanne, thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear that you ran out of yarn to complete your kit. I have sent you an email so we can further resolve this issue.

Pattern was very easy to

Pattern was very easy to follow, which was a plus because I haven't crocheted in almost 10 years.
I really also appreciate the ability to change the colors since needed darker blues and a grey variegated.
Order was complete, well packaged & included the vinyl storage bag which is a plus for storing the afghan later.

While the Prism yarn is

While the Prism yarn is very soft, it is hard to work with. The kit comes with a contrasting color that is the same weight, but is a different type of yarn.
I have done many of Mary Maxim's kits and have loved most of them. This one, I'm not a fan.

Good size, fun to watch the color changes, had plenty of yarn left over (more than half skein of each). Very pretty.

Soft and Beautiful

I love the pattern of this baby blanket. The yarn is so soft and the texture,achieved by crocheting 5 rows with the main yarn and then 1 with the alternate yarn, is unique. It is fun to crochet and I cannot wait to gift it!,

Prisim yarn

Texture varies from threadlike to fat and fluffy. Not a yarn i would ever use again. Its also not that pretty in real life, looks much better in picture. The washing instructions also should be emphasized in the description because handwashing for a baby afghan isn't realistic for an infant. Will not probably do business with this company again, too many better yarns out there.

Prism Yarn

Not happy with the quality of the Mary Maxim Prism yarn. The colors were beautiful, but the yarn constantly changed in thickness. It sometimes got almost as thin as thread.
