Mainstays Cozy Chenille Yarn, 220 yd, Faded Denim, 100% Polyester, Super Bulky

I love to crochet; it's one of my favorite pastimes. I've had to start using primarily blanket yarn, as my sight isn't what it used to be, nor is my dexterity. I've been using Bernat blanket yarn since it came to market, but it's become pretty expensive. About a year or so ago, I started using Mainstay blanket yarn. At the time, there weren't many colors available, at least locally, so I purchased mostly white and black yarn. They have since added more colors, which makes me very happy as I can save more money on yarn. When you buy lots of yarn, price is everything. My experience has been that Mainstay yarn offers the bulk, softness, and durability of Bernat yarn. In the photo below, these are two squares of a blanket I'm crocheting. The maroonish and white colors are the Mainstay yarns. The variegated yarn is Bernat. I'm using another skein in a pale pink from Mainstay, it's just not shown in this photo. I am grateful for Mainstay yarn; it saves me money, and nowadays, that's imperative to my wallet. Now they just need to add more colors, including variegated ones, and I won't need any other brand of yarn. If you are an avid crocheter or knitter, I encourage you to try Mainstay yarns, they provide the substance and cost you less.

I bought this on a whim because I liked the colour and the price. This yarn is awesome! I actually just put 10 more in my cart to make a blanket for someone. It is so soft and so durable I love it.
