The Yarn

I love the color of this Crocus Faerie, a pretty lilac ombre. It is a super bulky gauge 6 yarn so the blanket will work up fast.

The soft yarn is great because you get lots colors without having to change colors. The colors are mixed into each other for a soft gradient color change.

There are lots of different colors of Bernat blanket yarn, perfect for a little boy or girl. In the Dappled Yarn there is, purple, green, blue, pink, and gray. You can easily scale up for a throw too.

The yarn is a chenille style, so it is fuzzy. My little girl keeps wanting to rub her face against the blanket.

The chenille style of the yarn makes it hard to see the stitch some times but with practice it becomes easier.
