Red Heart All in One Granny Square Blue Beacon 3 Pack of 250g Yarn

I recently used this incredible yarn to create a stunning crochet ruffle skirt, and I couldn't be happier with the results! The quality is exceptional, and I absolutely love how it turned out. I can’t wait to wear it! When I tried it on for sizing, it felt so comfortable—definitely no itching. Given its quality, the price is truly fantastic. The size matched the picture perfectly, and it worked beautifully for my project. I’m thrilled!

I'm new to crocheting and this was only my second real project. After acquiring this yarn, I read and watched enough reviews of the granny square yarn from people who apparently know what that they're doing that I decided it was probably going to end in frustration if I tried to use it "properly." The reviews were pretty consistent about saying that there's usually a lot of frogging and re-working involved to get the colors to end exactly as they're supposed to when you're trying to use it for making granny squares. So, I just used it to make an simple double-crochet afghan. And I have to admit that I was a little disappointed to learn, as I used the yarn, that the five colors repeat in exactly the same pattern, with the same amount of each throughout. I had hoped that there'd be some variation so that if you were using it for granny squares, the resulting squares wouldn't have to be all identical. But whatever.As for using the yarn as I did for my project: I liked it. I LOVE the colors (actually had a hard time choosing which colorway to get because I think most of them are gorgeous). I found the yarn easy to handle, very little splitting (taking into account that I don't really know what I'm doing yet), makes a nice, fairly soft, stretchy stitch. I would buy it again. My understanding is that acrylic isn't super-soft and I'd say this is NOT super-soft -- probably wouldn't want to wear it as a sweater against my bare skin -- but it's actually pretty nice for an afghan.I did notice that some colors within the colorway some of the colors were consistently more or less bulky or thin than others. I have no idea how the stuff is put together, but it seemed like there were points where I could even see where one color had been attached to the other. I didn't see this as a problem -- changing colors is going to result in joins and they're not always invisible. I'm learning to crochet as a way to relax and just enjoy creating stuff, so I'm not so serious about it that an occasional imperfection in the yarn is going to ruin my project. I actually find a bit of variability and imperfection to add interest to the project.Anyway, as a beginner, I really find no fault with this yarn, for the purposes that I used it for. I very much like the afghan that I made, as does my cat -- had to pry it out from under her, in fact, in order to take the photos (please excuse the cat hair). I doubt that if I do get into making granny squares that I would purchase this yarn for that purpose. I think I'd rather have the control of making a variety of variations on a given color theme, rather than a whole bunch of absolutely identical squares. But I would purchase this yarn again (as well as other "styles" of Red Heart's product line) with no reservations.

I love this yarn - the color is a perfect neutral. I have used Red Heart yarn since I started crocheting over 50 years ago.Red Heart has improved the quality and color selection over the years.This a #4 worsted weight acrylic yarn - perfect for afghans. I'm currently using this shade with the solid Aran color to make a bedspread.The only complaint I have is that there seems to be a difference in the texture from one color change to another. The Aran and tan shades are smooth and soft to the touch; however, the darkest, brown shade feels coarser in texture. It doesn't prohibit use of the yarn; it just feels different.

I love gradient/variegated yarn, and these color palettes are great. The color changes are in a different order than pictured, but that didn't bother me; it turned out beautifully for a C2C baby blanket! Only downside was that it wasn't as soft as I'd hoped. It improved after 1 washing, though, so there's still hope for that snuggly feel! Will definitely buy in other colors again!

I purchased the three pack of the Black-Dove color way. I love the how neutral and natural the color way is. These granny squares work up very quickly once you have the hang of it. I used a Susan bates inline hook in size I9 or 5.50 mm. The best tutorial for learning how to use this yarn is from “The Crochet Crowd” I was able to learn quickly and easily as the pattern required for these is different than how I normally make granny squares. The finished square is about 6in across before blocking. (If you are a tight crocheter like myself you will have to use a larger size hook than recommended or loosen up your stitches) overall I am very happy with this yarn. I would love to get the cyber color way in the future

I turned to amazon to purchase colorways of this yarn that my craft stores don't carry. It takes some practice to get the color rounds to end properly. Instead of redoing each round if there's extra color remaining, I find that slip stitching to the next space to use up remaining color works better than restarting or changing hook size or tension. I use a 5.5 mm hook and haven't had any problems getting my squares colors to line up. This yarn is more for experienced crocheters or someone with a lot of patience to learn how it works. Everyone has a different method to make it work up. I suggest viewing youtube videos for ideas. Each skein makes 15 squares. Good yarn for a travel bag since you only need one. After learning a method that works for you, it's pretty easy to use. The only drawback is color availability and the prices fluctuate wildly here on amazon.

Very soft and colorful. Great for a project

Love the colors!
