This is very bright yarn, moreso than I thought, but I like it. It's definitely prone to splitting, which may not be as big a problem with crochet as w/ knitting, but it's still a little bit of a problem. If I catch a stitch from the previous row the wrong way, I have a strand sticking out. I've gotten the hang of *not* catching a stitch like that, but I think it shouldn't be happening. Really soft and yummy to work with and to wear. It's a very light weight worsted though; the recommended hook is an H (5.0mm). Compare that to a recommeded I hook for Red Heart Soft, and a J hook for the Red Heart Super Saver yarn. So if you want something that drapes well, this is great, but I'm not sure how well it would stand up to frequent use, like a kid's blanket. I may be wrong about that, though. I'm making a light weight lapghan right now for an adult (me), and I'll try to remember to update after a few washes.
