I love Vintage yarn

I love Vintage yarn. If you're looking for a solid color to go with it, Bone goes well. I recommend buying it whenever you see it. It usually sells out quickly.

Good product, weird addition

While the yarn I received is lovely, the Depends undergarment flyer was creepy and unnecessary. Not all crafters are seniors, and those who are may not appreciate the assumption that they need adult diapers. Stick to what you sell.

Splits

Splits...splits...and did I mention that it splits? Frustrating to work with and I won't be buying again.

Great yarn for beginners

I'm fairly new to crochet and have done mostly stuffies. I'm just finishing my first afghan and I absolutely love it. I just ordered a bunch more for my temperature blanket.

I like this color

I like this color, I just really need you to get back rainbow colors like you lime, and your mango. There is no green, or orange that goes with the rainbow. And when your making a rainbow afghan it is super had without those colors. Thank God I found the lime and the mango but I still need more of them. I could use about 20 mango, and 20 limelight! I hope you bring them back or get colors close to them.Desperately Clifteen Forster [****].

P.S. I really hope your hearing me. Because Caron is the only yarn I use. I did find premeir yarn but have not made anything with it yet.

Perfect for child sized aphgans

I have made several baby shower blankets this past year or so. They have great color groupings of pale pink to fushia, mint to dark teal, and lavender to purple. Everyone has absolutely loved them. I love to give a handmade gift that will last for many, many years.

Great for a soft blanket

I like using this yarn for making blankets. The yarn is very soft and makes for a comfortable blanket. Best is the yarn can we machine washed and dried.

First time user!

First time using this yarn. Worked up well, easy access end and there was no tangling when reaching the end of the skein. I like the fact this is an accepted yarn for hospital nurseries, and is easy care for busy moms. Used it to make the Biddeford baby blanket as it offered the color ranges I wanted. Will use again for future projects.
