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!
