Bernat POP!, 5oz, Guage 4 Medium, 100% Acrylic, Hot Chocolate

I have completed 2 afghans with Bernat Pop! and they are both lovely. I am relearning the art of crochet and really enjoying it. I am editing to add pictures. I am getting ready to make another one with the gray, black and white but in a granny chevron. Got lucky and found a picture on Pinterest for this pattern using this yarn. It is going to be lovely.Once I get that pattern learned I'll start the blanket.I made one with the Ebony and Ivory colors and am starting on another. They are gifts. Self striping yarn is really fun to work with.One of the afghans is a rectangular granny stitch and the other is horizontal granny stitch. Once I got the hang of the corners, the rectangular one was easy. The pattern has just enough variety to keep it interesting. The picture is about half finished. The other one was easier, and the edges stayed straight.Update: I couldn't find this original review so maybe it did not save properly.

I used Bernat Full Spectrum to start a blanket, using a batch I found at Walmart. Once I ran out, I quickly realized that Walmart doesn’t restock the same yarns; they’re pretty random with what they carry. Walmart.com failed me too, but Amazon had me covered. The colors match (as well they should), colors start and start on a random color, but follow the same pattern (which is normal), and the loft is quite lofty (not as thick as Bernat Blanket yarn, but denser than Mandala yarns), and a breeze to work with. Great for snuggling and/or keeping warm. If you’re looking for bright colors that don’t bore, grab this yarn up quick!

like everything for this produce, using to knit neck scarves for homeless.

This yarn makes beautiful projects. I plan to use it to crochet a poncho. In the past when I have used it, this yarn is easy to work with, has clear colors, & creates a product with loft.

I was given several balls of this yarn in various colors, so I decided to mix them up & make a couple of knitted blankets. Of course, I didn’t have enough of the yarn, so I purchased several more on Amazon to make a good size blanket. On this order, I purchased Hot Chocolate and Birch Bark & Blue colors.I was surprised when the balls came in the same color combinations, but not necessarily in the same orders or proportions. It didn’t change how I used them, just wasn’t what I expected.I find that the yarn is uneven thicknesses, sometimes getting a bit heavier, and less often going down to nearly a fingerling weight. Also, there is at least one knot in each ball between colors, and sometimes two. Finally, in almost each color, there are imperfections, or bleeding of the other colors into the one (ex - the white stretches of yarn will have a few spots of dark brown).I don’t love this yarn, but it is fairly inexpensive, and it comes in a great variety of color combinations, so overall I would say it’s a reasonable value if you manage your expectations accordingly.

I love this yarn!! I am using it to make a blanket for my newest grandson. It is so soft and warm and will work perfectly for keeping him warm as we go into spring.

Great yarn

makes lovely shawls

This is the perfect combo of colours for my granddaughter's blanket!

Yarn for an afghan

I love the yarn. It’s easy to use and the colours always look good together. Just keep an eye on the price.

I buy these to make self striping hats and accessories. The yarn is nice and soft and easy to use. No complaints!

This wool is simply too good to be true. It is very soft. Good coverage and the Color is wow!
