Bernat Macrame Yarn-Taupe

This is a very sturdy and functional yarn. I was frustrated by yarns that collapsed when I was making baskets and home decor so I tried this yarn and it is perfect. It is stiff ent to hold the shape of a large piece but it doesn't hurt my hands the way other macrame yarns do and is a pleasure to work with!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bernat Macrame Yarn is an excellent yarn for making baskets. Using this yarn with a size L/8mm aluminum crochet hook and single crochet stitches stitched with an "average tension"... will create very nice, rigid sides to your basket. If you are a "senior citizen" crocheter, I suggest you use a size L hook that has a nice wood handle, because the wood handle will allow you to make the stitches easily while not creating too much stress on your hands. A tip I would also like to share regarding weaving in the ends of this yarn is to: Separate the yarn tail end into its 3 plies and use a large eye darning needle to weave each of the plies separately to the wrong side of your project. It is easier to pull the separate plies through the backs of the stitches and this process will "invisibly" hide the yarn tail.

am happy with the cord wish more colors like in the 70's
