Bernat Softee Chunky Ombre 6 Super Bulky Acrylic Yarn, Deep Waters 2.8oz/80g, 77 Yards

What can I say, the pattern called for this yarn and it is a good yarn! Walmart has it competitively priced. The colors I needed were not in stock in my local store. I hated to wait for it, but I did get exactly what I needed. I ordered site to store.

I have been crocheting for several years, but on a limited budget. I have a preference for natural fibers but most projects are done in acrylics to fit my pocket book. I am always looking for sales to purchase yarn at the lowest possible price. When I found the Bernat Softee Chunky online at a bargain price, I decided to buy enough for at least one afghan. I bought 5 skeins each of 5 different colors, confident that I could return them if I didn't like the quality. They arrived very nicely packaged, in a good box with each color separately bagged in plastic. The colors were so vibrant, I could hardly believe it was acrylic! Each roll has over 100 yards, a very good count for a bulky yarn, since many have only 66 to 88 yards. I took out a roll to try right away. I found it to have a nice soft feel with a good loft but didn't split like many of the "soft" acrylics. This yarn is the right balance in size as well. My first scarf worked up quickly, but with stitch definition more like a worsted weight (#4). I will definitely buy this yarn again! Wal-Mart's regular price is a great buy for this easy to work yarn!
