  • Prone to pilling over time due to the extremely soft fiber surface

Full Review

The softness is unbeatable for an acrylic yarn, and the freckled colors look much more expensive than they are.

It does split occasionally while crocheting, but the drape of the finished blanket is absolutely beautiful.

Perfect for baby items because it is incredibly soft against the skin and holds up well in the wash.
