Full Review
Perfect for beginners because the stitch definition is clear and it doesn't snag easily when fixing mistakes.
It feels a bit rough while working, but it transforms into a soft, cozy fabric after one trip through the laundry.
The color selection is unmatched; I can always find the exact shade needed for complex multi-colored afghans.
