Bernat Sheepy Black Bear Yarn - 2 Pack of 250g/8.8oz - Nylon - 6 Super Bulky - Knitting/Crochet

Just want to start off by saying I’m new to crochet - I’ve made two scarves with Bernat blanket yarn and one by double stranding thin yarn. I came across this yarn on sale (2 skeins of 250g for under $12), so I wanted to give it a try. It’s sooooo soft and fuzzy. I originally tried to work it up using a crochet hook, but I kept losing my place because it was difficult for me to tell where each stitch was. After 4 attempts and lots of frogging, I decided to try it on my loom. It’s still a little more difficult to work with than regular yarn, but at least I’m progressing with my project lol. I’m just using the one side of my loom with the cast on method, since using both sides (weaving it back and forth through the pegs in a figure 8 motion) made it a bit too chunky. It’s harder to use the loom hook to pull the yarn over than with regular yarn, but I love how it looks so far. One side is super fuzzy, but the fuzzies tend to get caught in the stitching on the other side - so it does take a little extra work to pull them out of the stitches to achieve the fuzzy look on both sides of the scarf. But overall, I’m really happy with the quality of the yarn. It definitely takes longer to work up (especially if you’re new to crochet - hence my loom work around lol), but the results are so worth it! I have not been gentle with this yarn and it hasn’t snapped on me yet. One day when I’m more experienced, I’ll give it another go with a crochet hook, but for now I’m happy to just work on it with my loom.

I love this yarn! I’ve used it several times to make little tote bags. Because of the thick, fuzzy texture of the yarn, it can be difficult to see when crocheting, so you really have to feel your stitches as you go. But once you get the hang of that, it works really well.

This yarn is great! Was looking for something soft to make scarves with for gifts, and this yarn is wonderful. So easy to work with, soft, and chunky. Only issue is the orange ish color is more pink than expected but it’s still a nice color

This is some of my favorite yarn, it is so soft and great quality.

Originally bought the yarn to make a blanket (still working on). The black bear is charcoal in color. Ended up buying the deep red and white to make Santa hats for our family and pets and they look great. Doesn't hurt that I've been buying it while it's on sale for $11 for 2 skeins. Was able to make 3 adult hats, 2 kids hats, 2 dog hats, and 1 cat hat out of 2 red skeins and 1 white. Would buy in the future.

This yarn is really soft but it's very difficult to see your stitches. It would be great for creating a soft pair of socks slippers.

This yarn is very soft and thick. I had to use a more open stitch because otherwise the blanket was too heavy. The skein was longer than I expected, so it's a good value! My only complaint is that the pink is actually coral or pale orange.

For an amigurumi maker, this is the devil’s yarn. I couldn’t actually form the dog pattern I was making with it—I had to use regular Bernat Blanket yarn, then surface single crochet over every single stitch with this furry nightmare. If you have a masochistic side, give it a whirl.
