Pound of Love is a great acrylic yarn. Plus there are less ends to have to weave in because of the yardage.

I absolutely love the Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn. A ton of colors and when HL has the yarn on sale (every other week) I will stock up on what I need. I love videos like this and would watch any that you do! I also love Heartland, but it can get a little stretchy. I can't use Simply Soft - it is way too splitty for me. Since crochet is supposed to be relaxing, fighting with my yarn is not gonna work for me 😆

Here in Australia, the only one on your list that is available in stores is the Lion Brand Heartland. I've used it for one project and it came out so nice and soft. All the others we have to get online, which can get quite expensive with shipping. My go-to acrylic is 4 Seasons 'Marvel'. It's under $5AU a ball and comes in quite a nice range of colours. I do wish we could easily get Caron Simply Soft here because I see it used so often and it always looks amazing.

I just made my Sister a throw blanket out of the Bernat Baby Blanket yarn for Christmas. She loved it! Or at least, she said she did, lol. It didn't really take that many skeins because of the bulkiness of the yarn, and it was pretty easy to work with, once I got used to it. It's good to know you can wash, and it still holds up, I was a bit worried about that.

Thank you for letting me know, Veronica! I'm so happy that I was able to inspire you to pick up your hook again 😊 That makes my day!! As far as yarn shopping goes, I have a few go-to options. When I need to see/feel the yarn, I usually go to Joann or Michaels because I have both options nearby. If I can't get to the store or I know the yarn well, I'll order from Amazon. And if none of those options work....or I find a better sale or deal, I'll order directly from Lion Brand or Yarnspirations. Basically I do a little browsing from all three sources to see where I can find the best deal!

Hi Brittany Thank you for sharing your favourite yarn to use. I don’t live in the USA or Canada so I don’t have access to many of these yarns. We have our local Home and Crafts store and they have some Caron cakes, halo and some of the lion brand yarn plus they have their own brand which is Value Ball and another called Marvel. I currently am using Stylecraft for a project I actually started a few years ago now, but a group of us have decided to commence making this blanket so here goes I’m hoping to have it done by my Nanas Birthday in August 🤞🏼it is done by then 😊 Take care and stay safe and well. God bless you all 🙏🏼💗🧶😻
