Bernat Blanket Yarn, Silver Steel

I love this yarn - it's become my "ol' reliable" for crocheting plushies. It's pretty, soft, and thick - perfect for making stuffed animals to snuggle. The durability is iffy - when you frog, you may find that this yarn falls apart or loses its plush look (or pulling magic circles tightly). Fast to work with, and great results!

Great yarn at a great price. Colors are beautiful and it's so soft. I've made 6 blankets with it so far. Will definitely be buying more.

Great yarn to work with. Ive been crocheting for 7 years and bernat has always been a brand i can rely on. It's easy to use and barely shreds. It's soft and it's the perfect size. Thank you bernat!

PERFECT yarn! The colors are beautiful, the size is great & made my project so much easier. Very durable & made the blanket the perfect size & weight. I used 4 of them!

For starter's this has very recently become my go to yarn. Love the texture, size and colors. My hands are larger with longer fingers than my contemporaries, moving to a #6 yarn has made a world of difference and made crocheting enjoyable. This size yarn and thickness is easier for me to work with. The hook I use is an acrylic 12mm one which I find quite comfortable to hold. I like the weave of the blanket it creates too with the 12mm hook. Am planning to subscribe to this. I use one skein to make one blanket for rescue pups seeking homes.

Favorite yarn for blankets, soft, cozy, and warm. Wash beautifully!

I have knit eight afghans with Bernat Blanket in the last 5 months. It is beautiful yarn to work with and so soft. However, I can only give it a 4 because of the variation in its quality. You will see in the pictures that some of the yarn is excellent, round and full, while some of it is almost flat. What surprised me is that despite this variation, the end result still seems good - soft and fluffy. Working with vintage white however, all of the yarn was good quality and there is a definite overall difference in the softness and thickness of the afghan made with that yarn. The first Sonoma product was all very good. This set of four balls, was about half and half. You will also notice in the picture that there are some balls that have the ends tied. This is a frustrating "fix" by the manufacturer. In the space of two rows I had to knots that I had to cut out so that I could make ends to weave in on the finished product. Another downside to this yarn is that there have been a few times when a big chunk of yarn came out when I pulled for more, and it was terribly tangled. One time was so bad I had to cut it out, untangle it, and then weave it back in. While I love working with this yarn, it does have a few drawbacks to it, but not enough to make it so that I wouldn't buy it again. It makes a beautifully soft afghan. The Stripes version is thinner than the regular Bernat Blanket, and the Baby Blanket is generally better quality - at least in the Petunias. Colors matter with this yarn - the Vintage White seems to be the best quality, then Sonoma, then Harvest.

I love the feel of the bernat. Just know, the Surf color is definitely a purple instead of a blue. Fortunately it works for what I'm making.

I was so excited to try Bernat finally. First of all, Amazon sent me only one skein instead of two, but they were very nice and we managed to solve the issue quickly. Then I was quite disappointed in the yarn. Some parts of the skein are very soft and good to work with, but a lot of parts are flat, as if most of the fluffy part is missing, and it burns my tension finger! I know a little inconsistency can happen in a skein, but this was way too much.

The yarn came just as described. In great condition and this is a solid quality.

Warm soft quality wool. The wife loves it so much she wont stop ordering it and its costing me a fortune as she keeps ordering more to crochet more and more blankets for anyone we know with a baby.

Found about 2 knots per ball which was annoying, but the yarn was soft and fluffy! Used 2 balls for a throw blanket of about 1.2m by 0.5m

I’ve bought a few of these in different colours and working on a crochet blanket as a treat to myself, lovely wool and easy to work with
