With my Prime shipping account I got free 2-day shipping on this yarn and at $2.79 sale price making the price very comparable to Wal-Mart. I was able to get enough skeins to finish my project all at one time in the same dye lot. I do wish there wasn't a 4-skein limit on yarn though, and also that I could order yarn without having to buy it as an add-on item. I loved that each skein of yarn is individually packaged in a sealed heavy plastic bag. I've never seen such good care taken of a yarn product by anyone. Thanks Amazon! Though a bit rough, this yarn holds up well for afghans and softens up a bit after washing. Solid colors have no dye lot, and I really haven't noticed a color difference in different dye lots in the multi-color lines. Using the camo, I've crocheted dog sweaters, afghans, and men's winter scarves.
