Nothing like the original!

Posh yarn has always been my favorite chenille yarn to work with, so as soon as I picked this up, I could tell right away that this Posh is different from the original Posh yarn from Joann's. Much thinner and different texture. Pictured is some original Posh I had bought at Joann's (light blue) next to the skein of Posh I just purchased here (purple). So disappointed! I'll unfortunately be returning this.

I love the yarn posh

I love the yarn. I made a wonderful blanket with it. The ends are a little tricky to work with but it doesnt deter me from using it

Not the Same Big Twist Posh, Has Weird Smell

If you are looking for the Big Twist Posh that was sold at Joann (and now at Michael's), I would not bother with this yarn. It has a shine to it that Posh doesn't have. It was hard to capture the shine on camera, but it reminds me of velvet yarn. All of the skeins I bought have it, and I bought several colors so it isn't just a one-off. They also all have a chemically smell. I have been letting them air out for over a month, but the smell is still just as strong. It lingers on my hands whenever I touch them and gives me a headache. It's unfortunate because I bought so many, but lesson learned. If those things don't bother you, then it is nice yarn!

Cheap but not great quality

I was excited about the sale price but when I got the yarn the quality was not great falls apart much more easily than the original big twist posh. Make magic rings and sewing more difficult. All the lighter color skeins I got had brown spots speckled throughout the skein even though they were wrapped in plastic.

Not the same yarn size

I love the color and the yarn feels so soft but it a lot thinner than the big twist posh I have already. I will have to use it separately from any big twist posh I purchased elsewhere.

Big Twist Posh Yarn

I ordered this yarn in February and I’m finally able to work with it. This is the worst yarn I’ve ever used, it sheds and breaks so much, if I wouldn’t have spent so much money on this yarn I would just throw it away. I will never buy it again

Hi Tina, we're sorry to hear about your experience with the yarn. Please contact our customer service team so we can assist you further. Thank you for your feedback.

Love working with this yarn

Love working with this yarn. Just have to be careful to keep the stitches a little loose in order to rework any stitches. The colors are beautiful and make beautiful projects.

I am really frustrated as I purchased so much of this yarn thinking it would be great for my Christmas projects. Oh my goodness it is a mess. It frays and tears apart too easily. You do not want to make pom poms either with this type of yarn. I had fuzz all over me and the floor. While it is very soft it is too breakable and is the only yarn I have ever worked with that did such a thing. It is barely held up by a thread. I am concerned that when people wash the item it will fall apart. Disappointed.

Love this yarn brand!

Love this yarn brand and so glad that even though Joann's closed I can still get the yarn. This one is nice and soft and great for making baby blankets! This color is also good if you need a gender neutral one.

Not my fave. She’d. too thin.

I will be sticking with Premier parfait Chunky from now on. This Big Twist posh was thin and fragile. Shed if I tried sewing or pulling on the end for a magic ring.

Solid scrunchie yarn, slight sensory weirdness

I bought this to make scrunchies, and I like it well enough, but its texture reminds me a liiiiiiiiiiittle bit of microfiber.

Buyer beware!

This is NOT the Big Twist Posh we know and love. This is cheap yarn that shreds and falls apart. You can not make amigarumi with this yarn. It is terrible.

Some of the skeins smell like stale second-hand cigarette smoke.

Very unhappy.

When I saw that you had Big Twist Posh in the originally colors I was so excited and happily ordered a bunch, and then I went to use it. Unlike the stuff I used to buy from Joanne's, this stuff shreds and breaks at the slightest pull, making it almost impossible to work with. I'm so disappointed. I realize that it was liquidation stock that you (Mary Maxim) bought when Joanne's closed down and you have no control over quality, but it's a shame that it's so horrible. I spent all that money and now I'm sitting here with a pile of mostly useless fluff.

Hi Lona, we're really sorry to hear about your experience with the yarn. We understand how frustrating that must be, especially after looking forward to using it. Please contact our customer service so we can try to make this right for you. Thank you for your feedback.

Delivery arrived quickly and together wint get that grom Yarnspirations or Michael's but colors are lighter than deplicted and since big twist has been out wantedto do with it, but i will find somethingof US circulation for a while, so it was difficult to gauge color from prior purchases. I'm still keeping it, I don't return yarn. Just cant do what I wanted with it. 😄
