watch for the sales on this one!
I have completed 2 afghans with Bernat Pop! and they are both lovely. I am relearning the art of crochet and really enjoying it. I am editing to add pictures. I am getting ready to make another one with the gray, black and white but in a granny chevron. Got lucky and found a picture on Pinterest for this pattern using this yarn. It is going to be lovely.Once I get that pattern learned I'll start the blanket.I made one with the Ebony and Ivory colors and am starting on another. They are gifts. Self striping yarn is really fun to work with.One of the afghans is a rectangular granny stitch and the other is horizontal granny stitch. Once I got the hang of the corners, the rectangular one was easy. The pattern has just enough variety to keep it interesting. The picture is about half finished. The other one was easier, and the edges stayed straight.Update: I couldn't find this original review so maybe it did not save properly.

So soft!
I love working with this yarn! It’s so thick and soft and the color changes are well done. I will definitely be ordering this stuff again!!

Scratchy not a good acrylic yarn
I bought 11 cakes of this yarn in foggy notion. The good, all the cakes came with the same dyelot and my blanket and shawl came out beautiful. The bad, the yarn was knotted and tied together with almost every color change, the weight of the yarn would change from a heavy worsted weight yarn to a lace or light fingering weight yarn to a bulky weight yarn back to a worsted weight yarn I had a lot of cutting and weaving in ends. I probably cut about 3 yards out of yarn in every cake. The cakes also had splotches of color that didn't belong sometimes it would be a dark blue grey color in the white or the splotches of purple and there's no purple in any of the cakes. The finished products I can't use because of how scratchy it is and I can use red heart super saver yarn without any issues. I will not be buying anymore of the bernat pop yarn.

Great yarn, great price
I used Bernat Full Spectrum to start a blanket, using a batch I found at Walmart. Once I ran out, I quickly realized that Walmart doesn’t restock the same yarns; they’re pretty random with what they carry. Walmart.com failed me too, but Amazon had me covered. The colors match (as well they should), colors start and start on a random color, but follow the same pattern (which is normal), and the loft is quite lofty (not as thick as Bernat Blanket yarn, but denser than Mandala yarns), and a breeze to work with. Great for snuggling and/or keeping warm. If you’re looking for bright colors that don’t bore, grab this yarn up quick!

It’s Ok
Not a fan of how the fibers stick out so much. And it looks like cheap acrylic yarn. But it is soft and a good value. I’m just not a fan of the brand.

Lovely stripes!
This is a lovely self-striping yarn. It's quite chunky, so it works up quickly. It's fairly soft and "light" so the finished product doesn't feel too dense and heavy. Having said that, I did use a bigger crochet hook than the recommended 5mm, so my work was perhaps a bit more open.I used this product to make a ripple/chevron blanket and I'm very pleased with the end result. Self-striping yarn is really effective with this kind of pattern and makes something quite simple look much more interesting (without any extra effort!) I used 6 balls of this with an 8mm crochet hook and my blanket turned out about 45 inches by 65 inches - ample size for a single bed.The colours in this yarn go really well together and the transitions are reasonably smooth. I did find there seems to be a small section of yarn at each colour change that is neither one colour nor the other - for example, between the dark green and the dark blue there are a couple of stitches that are very dark blue, and between the light green and mid-green there are a couple of bright green stitches. However, I don't think it's all that noticeable in the finished product. There were some joins in this yarn (which seems to be fairly common in a lot of yarns I've used recently), but not in every ball. I think 4 of the 6 balls didn't have any joins at all, while one ball had 2 or 3 joins and the other just 1, so I'd say it was better than average.I think this is a really nice yarn and would love to use it again. I gave it four stars mostly due to the price, as I've since found it cheaper elsewhere.

Every cake of wool is same colour but in different order
Nice wool but I got 3 packs and each one was same colour but in different order so couldn’t use on same projects

Knits up well
I'd bought one ball of this yarn to knit a shawl for a Christmas present. I didn't realise that I'd need two until I read the pattern properly so I bought a second ball of yarn. Knits up easily and as it is a reasonably thick yarn it knits up quickly. The change in the colours as the shawl is knitted up is quite pleasing. I will get a different colour variant as I'm so pleased with how this has turned out.

Beautiful yarn
It is a very good yarn. It was a pleasure to work with it. It soft and light and strong at the same time. You can choose plenty of various colours!The price is good value for money. The yarn are big so you can do plenty of crocheting or ok knitting with one only yarn! To do this work I used about 10 yarns.I recommend this yarn !
