Bernat® Super Value™ #4 Worsted (Medium) Acrylic Yarn, Peacock 7oz/197g 440 Yards

An eBay buddy and I are making a couple of granny square afghans together. She started using this yarn because Red Heart Super Saver yarns have become harder and coarser. This yarn has the same "hand" as the "old technology" Red Heart Super Saver. The colors are not the same as RH, but close. Her "signature" is to use this yarn for centers and third row of the squares (counting the center as first row), with Red Heart Soft yarn as second row. I then group the three row squares into a "4-patch square" and crochet a border of this yarn in True Gray around that. Then, the "4-patch squares" are assembled in random color combinations. I ordered this particular yarn from Walmart.com because I couldn't find the colors I needed in local craft stores. "My" local Wal-Mart stores discontinued, for a while, the entire sewing and crafts department. They have reestablished a small crafts department again, but selection of everything is very limited. I was surprised that Walmart.com had the selection of yarns and colors it does.

Honestly, I was surprised the thickness and softness of the yarn. Usually, other SuperValue yarns tend to be a little scratchy, but I bought this after seeing Mikey (Crochet Crowd) used it for his blanket pattern. Glad I took his recommendation. Good value and quality.
