20 Best Yarn For Blanket (2022 Updated)

Love this kind of yarn, it flows easily and this Stripes type in particular makes the change of colors automatic. This specific Seaglass one, hard to find, was offered with the exact colors I needed for a project for my grand-daughter’s expected twins, and it was shipped super fast.

Thank you! All good!.

Color transitions are just two sections held together by strings wrapped around. It doesnt even match the yarn color. Very disappointed in this yarn. Bernat has been my favorite yarn until this one. Save your money and pass on this one.

Great yarn, been looking for that color but prices have gotten so high on it for some reason. Overall best value I could find.

Bernat Blanket Brights yarn makes up great, especially for kid blankets. Love the bright colors and the blanket yarn is always easy to work with.

I first bought from Amazon your Corridale Roving, and it was a pleasure to spin and dye, and soft. I have spun some of your black merino, and the white merino, and I am happy with that also. Whoever processed all this wool, and made it into Top, did an excellent job.

I would definitely buy more. Thankyou.

I finally got the time to spin this fiber, and am very pleased. I spun it on my Jensen Wheel. Sometimes combed top is not the easiest for me to spin, but I had no problem. I’ve only spun one skein so far.

The only other thing I would have to do, if I want is to dye the yarn, and I wouldn’t do that until all the fiber is spun.

Lovely roving. I’m new to hand spinning, so I’m no expert. But it’s soft and fluffy with nice staple length. As far as I can tell, it is very good quality. Probably easy to spin with if you are more experienced/talented than I am!.

My experience is a mixed one. First, make sure your project matches whichever color you use. I picked this yarn to make the Shadow Cable Blanket on Bernat’s website. I chose the Cosmos color, but it made it very hard to see the stitch because of the weird variegated color pattern.

Instead it looks like camouflage instead of how nice self striping yarn should form in a pattern. It would have looked better in a solid color since you want the stitch pattern to stand out. My fault for picking the color rather than going with the color on the example.

So that is a big disappointment. Since it is not ” yarn” there is no “give” and it was very stressful to my hands and wrists to knit with. My hands and wrists are still hurting. 2 balls out of the 6 I used were perfect.

The others had several knots. One ball had two within a yard of each other. That is very wasteful when you are trying to stay within gauge for a project to have to cut and restart each time. I only had 18 inches left at the end, which is cutting it pretty close, pun intended! Despite all that, I am sure the little guy I made it for will love it because it is so soft like a stuffed animal fur and makes you want to cuddle with it.

So, maybe once my memory lapses on how much trouble it was to use this yarn, I’ll be back for more. I guess I’m a glutton for self inflicted yarn abuse, lol.

I’ve crocheted 2 baby blankets so far, and plan to make more. Yarn is thick, requires bigger hook. Works up very quickly, it’s very gratifying. Although I needed to ‘pace’ myself as the larger tool and thick yarn caused my hands to ‘twist’ a little differently than regular yarn.

I didn’t want to get sore from working w/ it. I’m not complaining!! ~ I LOVE the yarn and the results. (for me about 5 small balls make a nice crocheted baby blanket (OR 2 of the large balls) for additional color combinations mix “Bernat Baby Blanket” and “Bernat Blanket” yarns together.

My pattern is easy and simple = use 2 colors. Crochet 3 (half double crochet) rows of one color. then crochet 3 rows (half double crochet) of 2nd color. Repeat until you run out of yarn. DONE. Makes about 35″X35″ blanket) I highly recommend this yarn.

This yarn is so super soft and squishy! Works up beautifully. Make several hats for children, babies; and several baby blankets. Can be cost prohibitive if bought at full price, but JoAnn’s runs some great sales and has some great coupon deals.

Best time to buy. Have nothing negative to say about the blanket yarns. Have used several sizes and love them all. Very versatile.

What I like about this yarn is the softness. However, I do not like the consistent pattern throughout the yarn. It ends up leaving dark and light patches in your final piece. Some of the other brands have more random patterns which allow for a better-looking final product.

Also, the dye lots can be very inconsistent. If you are going to order online, you may end up having to go to the store to swap out, which in the end saves you no time in shopping. The price is also very high.

Wait for it to go on sale and use a coupon in order for it to be a reasonable price.

I have made 3 blankets so far using lion brand off the hook yarn and now working on my 4th. Overall this yarn is very beginner and user friendly. I have no experience prior to crochet or knitting and I caught on to this quickly with the help of YouTube.

I used 9-10 skeins to make 2 of my blankets. The other was a baby blanket. The quality of the yarn is decent I’ve used dark and stormy, blue sapphire, and the crayola colors. The quality control was the worst I saw with the blue sapphire yarn.

I had an issue with one skin missing almost a whole rows worth of loops which was frustrating to have to stop and start again but other than that I had no issues. It isn’t as soft as comparable brands but definitely makes a soft, thick, and warm blanket.

For the price I definitely recommend especially if you’re a beginner like me with yarn crafts.

I purchased a few skeins to make the llama pillow. I haven’t finished it yet, but it was easy to work with and a lot of fun. The reason that I am only giving it 3 stars is because I am concerned about durability.

I am an experienced knitter who has worked with a variety of yarns including premium quality. I think that this yarn is fine for crafts and perhaps a scarf for kids or a gift to grandma or teacher. It would certainly work for blankets but I think that the fibers will wear off and the blanket could easily tear due to the structure of it (toes getting caught in loops).

It is fine for light use like a shawl, a lap quilt, a coverlet, a doll blanket, a “blankie” that little ones like to drag around and lay on the floor with. But as far as a blanket that will get hard use (think teenage boys) I have my doubts.

Don’t hesitate to try it. Again, this is a great craft yarn for grandparents/parents/kids or for brownies/girlscouts to work on as a project. Just wash it on delicate or handwash (who wants to do that?) and dry it on low so that the fibers do not melt.

Happy crafting!.

I have to admit that the only reason I gave it a 4 is because I had to tie the yarns together at some of their transition points. If you do it correctly it’s not a big deal to take them apart and tie them back together.

Blanket yarns do that. The colors are beautiful, the texture is soft, the end result is warm and cozy and the project itself is just lovely.

I love this ombre yarn, the factory joined binding where the colors change are awful. I clip the little tiny area off and join by crocheting it in instead of knotting it. Because of the bulk it is hard to tie hide the knots.

I love this yarn!.

Thick and soft- So Glad that I got this. I used ;it to make a throw for watching TV. The tweed effect means that I could use stitch texture for details and it didn’t become lost in the striping. It works ups as a lovely neutral color that will go with absolutely everything.

First time that I have used the blanket yarn and will definitely do so again. Bernat doesn’t disappoint. I am planning on making dog sweathers with this next. It really works up quickly and easily. Want to explore some other colors.

Really liking the tweed effect.

Love this yarn! Super easy to work with, and makes quick work of blankets; especially for beginners with the thickness! The color is more on the Ivory & super dark blue & grey (at least in my lighting.

could be my eyes playing tricks). Made a huge king sized blanket out of it and I’m definitely planning to buy more (especially with the different Bernat colors available)!.

This is beautiful yarn!!! I purchased this yarn in the 10 pack to be used along with the dark gray Lead color and I was hesitant at first but they are GORGEOUS together. I’m not quite finished with the afghan that I’m making but don’t hesitate to purchase this Bernat blanket yarn, it is quality yarn and of the same thickness of the solid color yarns made by Bernat.

I’ve been using this yarn for maybe a year now and I am obsessed with it! The colors are wonderful and the yarn is so soft. I’ve made lots of plushies with Bernat and I’ve been happy with all of the results! The yarn is always consistent with texture, color, and durability.

I’ve very occasionally run into tied parts, but it has never been a problem. Not to mention the amount of yarn you get. These balls are absolutely packed with yarn! They are worth it! Overall my favorite yarn! Soft, pretty, and great amount!.

I love this yarn. It reminds me of the Original Big Twist Velour yarn which has been discontinued (the ones without the Sparkle) I only bought 1 ball to see if it was any good, and you have been completely sold out ever since.

I hate you for making such a great product and then taking it away.
