I love this puzzle storage board! It has plenty of room to also have extra space outside the puzzle border to keep some of your extra pieces, besides the two rectangular mini boards to keep other pieces to sort. My favorite reason for loving it is its portability. No more trying to fit a makeshift board through a doorway to store my puzzle till I want to work with it again.
Easy to follow instructions, looks really nice when finished
Super soft and a really good alternative to more expensive skiens. Perfect for making multi colored beanies.
This is an absolutely beautiful pattern. Easy to read and easy to follow.
The yarn is perfect for baby's blanket.
Just add a nice border of your choice.
3 skeins can make one blanket for age 6 months to one year old.
I love Color Fusion DK. The yarn is very soft and easy to work with. The colors blend well with a slash of contrast throughout. This is one of my favorite DK weight yarns! I'm glad that there is a nice variety of colors to choose from.
I like it because I was looking for a new project to try .
These little yarns are both a menace and a delight to work with. I don't really care about perfect granny squares so I didn't waste a lot of time fiddling with the yarn. However, after about 15 granny squares, I finally learned the technique to make almost every granny square perfect every time.
TIP: I use a 8mm hook with light tension and don't rotate between rounds. If need be, I'll slip stitch any extra yarn of a color to the next corner.
Save the extra yarn to sew your blanket together at the end. Hope this helps save the next person from any extra frustration!
Whoever packages these orders is complete sweetheart. I have ordered this twice now, the first order being 2lb and the second order being 15lb. The first order was a super thoughtful and "cotton candy" colors of blue and pink plush yarn of the same brand. My second order contained all color coordinated yarn as well, but still a decent gradient (blues, greys, cream, and mint green).The brand was the same but yarns varied a little. It looks like whoever packaged this order took the time to make sure the yarn was similar enough to one another. All the bags had little holes in them that looks like the yarns were all felt beforehand (not done with my original small order).
If I didn't have a years supply of yarn now, I would keep on ordering. Easily a 10/10 purchase if you aren't picky. My intent was to make blankets and practice new stitches since I am new to crotchet, This is perfect for me.
Great pattern, good instructions, easy to follow, and when you finish it looks just like to picture.
I love this yarn. The colors I have ordered are perfect for my project. I have recently returned to crocheting after a fifty year hiatus. This yarn has made my return so easy.
Simple and cute hood pattern! Hoping to adjust the size to make for a toddler.
It’s the first time that I decided to spend good money on crochet hooks and Im so glad I did. They make stitching so much easier and uniform. My smartest purchase to date
I love using this yarn for my amigurumi, I just made squirtle with this yarn and it came out amazing. Did not disappoint. I do wish a 7mm doesn’t make it as gappy, I feel like a 6 or 6.5 mm is it’s sweet spot
making a blanket, liking the look and feel

Love this yarn! It's so soft! Great color
Softer and smaller than Premier DK.Not as fluffy or bulky as Premier. Makes slightly smaller projects. Good for Amigarumi animals and dolls. I like Mary Maxim Mellowspun better than Premier basic DK
My first order from Mary Maxim. I am using the Mellowspun dk Dove yarn for a waffle stitch throw. This yarn is easy to work with (I’m a beginner) and is so very soft. I can’t wait to cuddle with it. Ordering was super easy and I love the various discounts and sales.
This yarn is really soft and works up beautifully. I’ve made 6 blankets with it and the wash & dry great. I highly recommend it!
I purchased Mellowspun yarn to knit hats for newborns for our Pro Life Center (Zoi) in Corona. It so easy to work with and the employees at the center comment about how soft the hats are!!!Great yarn!!!
Love working with this yarn! Not finished with the project, but here a pic of what I got done. the multi color yarn is Mary Maxim Prism Yarn. Another great yarn!!! Thanks Mary Maxim!!!!
I really love how soft this yarn is. Easy to work with. I had no issues of the yarn splitting.
Mellowspun material is soft & light. The project I crocheted ended up a bit thinner than I expected it to be, so the shape of the toddler sweater was a bit stretchy but it's ok. I would order again. I like the Denim color & looks lovely finished.
This is my favorite yarn fir baby blankets. The material is super soft and easy to work with.
I understand that colors may vary from dye lot to dye lot, but I ordered denim blue and got gray.
The label does say denim, but it doesn’t come close to the color on my previous order or the color shown on the website.
So so soft. This has to be my favorite cardigan yet.
This yarn is very beautiful and soft. I got the color Dark oak and made a beanie so far and have got so many compliments everywhere I go! I highly suggest it and I can't wait to get other colors! I look forward to making a blanket next!
This is the first time using this yarn and I love it! The yarn is so soft AFTER you are done making your project! It's so comfortable to wear and holds its shape beautifully!
Mellowspun DK crochets up beautifully. It’s wonderful for throws and blankets. The yarn resists pilling, and is great for colorwork. It also runs through the washer nicely and blocks well for those who block their projects. It’s one of my favorite DK’s.
The color does not match the online image. The yarn I received is a much lighter shade. It will not work for the project I planned, but I like it and will try to use it for something else.
Works up great and easy on the hands
Chose this yarn for my second ever crochet project, first time ever making a baby blanket. The yarn arrived quicker than expected. It is so soft and easy to work with. The strands don’t unravel easily either. I’m very happy with my purchase. This is the first time I’ve purchased yarn from somewhere other than the big box craft stores, and I’m happy to say I plan to do so again!
Very soft and works up very nicely. Would use again.
I adore this yarn! It is so soft and so wonderful and works up just beautifully. The stitch definition is gorgeous. It stitches up so nicely and the drape is stunning and I will definitely be back to buy it again. I made a gorgeous baby blanket and intend to make another with this yarn! The quality is superb!
Soft and durable! Very happy with how my garment worked up!
Colour was beautiful and went well with the other Mary Maxim yarn used for the sweaters for me and my pup.
Very soft and has a nice sheen. Works up well and has a nice feel to the stitches.
Making a crocheted blanket. It is very soft yarn and am hoping it holds up well to wear and washing. Time will tell.
