Bernat Softee Chunky…soft and warm

I use Bernat Softee Chunky for Afghans. I recently made a couple of afghans for a craft show. Everyone who stopped by said that this yarn is so soft and just couldn’t stop stroking the yarn. It is warm, soft and absolutely great to work with.
Yes, those afghans sold for Christmas gifts!

This bernat softee yarn is soft and nice to work with

This bernat softee yarn is soft and nice to work with. The skeins are small, so quite a few are needed to complete a blanket. Once worked up is beautiful.

Worked great!

I used this as the main yarn in a fox blanket I made for a baby gift, and it worked up great! I loved the color and the yard was really soft. It was really easy to work with and didn't split while I was working with it at all.
