Bernat Alize Blanket-EZ Yarn, Dark Gray

Blanket

This is the best loop yarn I've found -- tremendously soft and loops are consistently well-formed. After trying a few brands, this is the one I'm staying with. My only complaint is that some colors seem more expensive than they need to be, but if you don't have a kid requesting a blanket in a specific color, that shouldn't be too much of an issue :)

UPDATE: Baby blanket/nappie/swaddler etc. finished! Took 3 days but honestly I only spent about 3 hours in total working on it. Super easy to bind off & finish. No shedding, very plush & very thick. I used 1 skein for the project.**********************************************************************************************************Just for reference I am in my late 20's & have been crocheting for about 10 years or so off & on. I don't consider myself advanced (I can't read patterns, i just watch tutorials when I want to learn a new stitch or pattern. Also, my granny squares are trash) but I wouldn't say I am a newbie either.I needed to make a gift for a friend's baby shower and knew I wanted to make a blanket but between work and other things knew I didn't have the time to do what I wanted with basic yarn & a crochet hook. After some research I thought this would be the best yarn for the project and Amazon offered the best price.I am about halfway into the blanket now and am working a cross stitch pattern. After a bit of trial and error and a youtube video or two, I found it to be very easy to work with. The yarn is very soft like all Bernat yarn and because it is thick, your pattern will build very quickly. I was worried about keeping the loops straight when changing rows but have found it to be much easier going than I expected.I have not seen any color bleeding or shedding and my work surface is just my bed which is topped by a white and silver comforter. The colors do blend together so the ombre effect of the yarn is not as noticeable in the blanket I'm creating but I believe that is more so because of the pattern I am using.I have been skeptical about loop yarn since I came across it a few years ago but am very happy that I chose it for this project. I'll add a photo or two when finished!

As a sibling of a Deaf Adult (SODA) I wanted to give my sister a project to do with crocheting being that she seen me and my daughter crocheting some scarfs and hats for the winter. My sister is Deaf and has Cerebral Palsy on her left side affecting both legs and left hand. She also has intellectual disabilities but is able to do somethings on her own without assistance. When I search the internet and ran across finger looping yarn, I was soooo happy. This is the perfect way my sister will able to do projects like making a scarf or a rug for instance without any assistance and she can do it feel so accomplished and proud of herself.Thank you so much for helping people with disabilities like my sister. It meant the world to her and to me too. Great product. I will definitely buy it again and recommend it to others with or without disabilities that want something great to do and want to have fun doing it.

First time using this style/type of yarn. Enjoyed making a twin blanket to be used in the living room. We are a tall family so the little throws that are found in stores don't work for us. We have brought it along during our camping trips.

I have made a lot of baby blankets with this yarn and the quality is always consistent. Have tried other brands with inconsistent color, defective yarn and yarn in pieces. Won't use another brand

I’m a beginner knitter and this was super easy to use I’m making a baby blanket and seems like it will take 2 rolls in total so not bad! No weird smell and super soft definitely ordering more colors

Baby Afghan is great for this thread. Easy to work with. So soft. Beautiful color. Wish I had known sooner about this loop yarn. I've crocheted all my life but now I'm knitting with my fingers!!!

Very good yarn, easy to work with.Lovely colours.

Great, very bright, one ball made a scarf

I'm not sure if it's because one of the skeins was already open (see first picture) or not because all three I bought had these little bits of brown SOMETHING (see third picture)...But, overall, I'm satisfied. The fabric itself is very soft and warm. There's a few places where the fabric gets thin (see fourth pic) but it doesn't damage the end result (in my case, a small blanket).The loops (see second pic) threw me for a loop (lol) but the instructions on the inside of the label helped me make a nice little blanket. I still prefer actual crocheting, but the whole "slipping loops through loops" to craft a thing isn't bad and many would probably find it easier than knitting or crochet.Anyway, yea, solid 4/5 and would only never buy again because I prefer crocheting.

This was my first time ever crochet. I did not read the description prior to purchasing and it was already looped. It comes with instructions on the inside of the package. I found going on YouTube to be easier for the tutorial. I was instantly addicted. Don't get discouraged after the first row. It was so easy to do but make sure you take a break in between otherwise your wrist will be on fire.... Lesson learned. I love this product it's super cozy. 8 just ordered 10 more balls of the unlooped yarn.

Very disappointed in this product. I bought 3 skeins, the first skein was not to bad, but the other two were not has fluffy and soft. It almost looked liked it was used and returned. Some of the loops looked they were cut and then tied back. I have use all of them but not pleased with the quality. I have purchased other colours and they were very nice and full. I could use another 18 yard skein of seaport teals to finish off my throw, but am reluctant to purchase.
