Mainstays Cozy Chenille Yarn, 220 yd, Soft Silver, 100% Polyester

I like it as well as I do the higher end yarns like this. I also like that it's local and I don't have to drive an hour to get it. Only two things I think they could do. 1.) have a bigger selection of colors to choose from 2.) have one size down from this one for projects that I need a smaller yarn for. Also It frogs well and VERY minimum shedding and strong. I have to pull on it pretty hard for it to break. I was very surprised at how well this yarn holds up compared to the other brands. Actually better than most others. If it had more color choices and a size smaller than this one, I would probably use this 98% of the time.

I was actually surprised and very much like this yarn. I have not noticed and shedding. When I had to frog a portion of it, I didn't have any problem at all and all and no shedding. The yarn stays in tact very well. Has a soft feel and crochets well. I like it as well as I do any of the other ones I have used. Plus it's local and I don't have to order it or drive an hour to get it. I have bought several of the colors and like them all very much and will keep buying them. You get a lot for the money. I have to give it 5 stars all the way around. I have no complaints at all. I do wish they had one that was a 4 weight also.

I love this chenille yarn so much, I have now incorporated it into 3 different blankets. The women-owned company and best prices is great, but the yarn itself is consistently amazing, regardless if it's the thinner knitting needle yarn or the chunky hand knit version.

I love to crochet; it's one of my favorite pastimes. I've had to start using primarily blanket yarn, as my sight isn't what it used to be, nor is my dexterity. I've been using Bernat blanket yarn since it came to market, but it's become pretty expensive. About a year or so ago, I started using Mainstay blanket yarn. At the time, there weren't many colors available, at least locally, so I purchased mostly white and black yarn. They have since added more colors, which makes me very happy as I can save more money on yarn. When you buy lots of yarn, price is everything. My experience has been that Mainstay yarn offers the bulk, softness, and durability of Bernat yarn. In the photo below, these are two squares of a blanket I'm crocheting. The maroonish and white colors are the Mainstay yarns. The variegated yarn is Bernat. I'm using another skein in a pale pink from Mainstay, it's just not shown in this photo. I am grateful for Mainstay yarn; it saves me money, and nowadays, that's imperative to my wallet. Now they just need to add more colors, including variegated ones, and I won't need any other brand of yarn. If you are an avid crocheter or knitter, I encourage you to try Mainstay yarns, they provide the substance and cost you less.

The yarn was exactly what I needed to finish my mushroom hat!

Hands down the BEST Chenille yarn out there! It is PERFECT for amigurumi projects due it the softness and durability!

very good and soft and smooth like butter, like a criminal undercover ;)

I bought this yarn in store and it was fine. Needed more and purchased online and it was awful. The yarn was flat and coiled while being used. I do not like this yarn and wouldn't recommend to anyone.

There were several black dirty spots on the yarn.
