My Plushies come out larger with this yarn…..
I love these crochet kits ! I’ve already started on the Grannies puppy snugglers kit !
There is so much to look at in this catalog. It has so many things that you can purchase. Blankets, yarn, I wish I could buy them all. I like looking in it when I’m crocheting to. Just Beautiful
I’ve been using this since delivery. I’m very happy with this yarn.
Amaze amaze amaze
Really soft yarn. I like that it's nice and sturdy. You could use this for anything.
Color is very beautiful! I am a natural fiber snob due to my allergies handling synthetic yarn; however I made a beautiful afghan with this Harmony yarn without any irritation to my skin! Yeah! And loved the colorway of the finished gift. Subtle and calming modern colors! Thank you again Bernat❤️🧶
Yarn arrived in great shape. Packaging was perfect. I can't wait to use the lemon yellow.
Soooo cute! Knew I wanted this immediately.
Coveted this for quite some time. It did not disappoint!
I had a great experience with Mary Maxim customer service. One of the yarns in my recent order was splitting quite a bit while I was working with it. I honestly thought it might just be one of those chances you take with yarn, but I called to ask about it.
The customer service representative was so nice and told me the yarn should not be separating like that. They sent me a replacement without making the process difficult at all. I was really pleased with how helpful, friendly, and easy they were to work with. Great customer service makes such a difference, and I really appreciated it!
First time ordering a surprise color and I was pleasantly surprised with the color. I made myself a fun sun hat for the beach. It’s floppy so my next one will use some wire for the edge but I still think it’s cute
Good products at a good price
I’m still pretty new to using cotton yarn, and I really love the speckled colors in Premier Cotton. The little pops of color are so cute in finished projects and make even simple patterns look extra fun. It’s easy to work with, has nice stitch definition, and works great for the hats, dishcloths, and other cotton projects I’ve been making. I’ll definitely keep buying the speckles!
I’m pretty new to using cotton yarn, and Premier Cotton has been really easy to learn with. I’ve used it for sun hats and am now trying dishcloths and other patterns. It has nice stitch definition, holds its shape well, and is still soft and easy to work with. I’ve even had to pull out and redo a few sections, and the yarn has held up great. Definitely a cotton yarn I’ll keep using!

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.
