This nice, thick and bulky yarn was used to make my first crocheted piece.  While I will not say what it looked like, I will say it was easy to work with.  The weight and the finished product were beautiful.  The randomness of the colors made it appear as though I used different yarns to make the piece.  It was cheery and bright but I underestimated the amount of skeins it would take to finish the product.  I make better estimates now.  This is not a soft yarn and it is not for use in baby blankets.  It is not nearly soft enough for that.  It is good for cheering someone up.  Hard to be sad with colors like that.  Beautifully done but the price can be problematic.  Acrylic yarn and comes with care instructions for you to pass on to the person you are making things for.  Good for mittens, hats and scarves.  For an adult sized blanket be prepared to order at least 12 skeins.
