Love This Yarn

September 14, 2011

Location: Indianapolis, IN Age: Over 65

I recently ran across the project sheet for the Radiant Stripes Blanket and started it last week using the Impeccable yarn. I have been a big fan of Caron Simply Soft, but find the Impeccable much easier to crochet with as it does not split. My only complaint is that the project calls for the Impeccable Big (large skeins) and I have been unable to find them at any Michael's store in my local area ... or on line for that matter. I am a big believer in finding a yarn that I like and sticking with it. This will be my #1 yarn.
Pros:

Quality: 5/ Performance (Achieved desired results): 5/ Value: 5/
