I thought the yarn was in good shape the only thing was how much the shipping was

Love, love. But not DK size.

I absolutely LOVE this yarn. But I only gave it 4 stars because it most certainly is not DK size. The thickness is definitely that of a 4wt worsted. But it is so soft n cuddly.

Great Yarn With Soft, Silky Feel

Yarn is soft to the touch & crochets easily. It doesn’t split. The finished product feels almost silky. I love that it comes in such a large variety of colors. It’s basically my “Go To” yarn for most projects like afghans and children’s clothing, I can’t say how it washes up though as most of my projects are for gifts & I don’t wash or block them before I gift them since I don’t know any allergy the recipient may have. I do use a “stretch & pull” method instead of blocking tho. It’s great Premier Basic goes on sale quite often so I usually stock up when it does. I wish there was always Free Shipping though, even if it would be over a certain amount. I have had some issues with the skeins not pulling out from the center easily. It seems the manufacturer could tag the end like some other yarns I use do. I sometimes combine this yarn in an afghan with a heavier #4 weight yarn for a variety of textures & a 3D effect.

It’s a nice basic yarn. I bought it in black to use as a border color for a rainbow colored granny squares blanket.

Shipping takes too long

I'm happy to make purchases with Mary Maxim. The only issue I have is the fact that it takes so long for the order to process. It's too long when you're working on a project and you need more materials but have to wait almost 10 days to get your order.

Premier Basiz DK yarn

I usually get a baby blanket made and bordered (using a pattern I have used numerous times) with 3 skeins of light #3, 3.5 oz skeins of yarn. Unfortunately, I am 10 rows plus border short of finishing my blanket. Now I’ll have to order another skein to finish the blanket. I am very disappointed in the Premier Basiz DK yarn for this reason.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Premier Basix DK yarn. We're sorry to hear that you had to order an extra skein to finish your blanket. Please reach out to customer service at info@marymaxim.com if there is anything we can do to assist you.

Premier Basix DK yarn - Fog gray

Nice, soft yarn. Worked well against the white in my Sister's afghan. Price point was a lot better than other yarns also!

The yarn was a little thinner than i thought it would be but the quality is excellent and i will make it work for my project.

Currently making a baby sweater

Currently making a baby sweater, and it is looking real good! The yarn holds the pattern well without being stiff.
