I gave this yarn 5 stars. 1.) For ease of access. Not only on Amazon but also found at Walmart, Target, Michaels, Joanns, and Hobby Lobby. So, if you run out the day before having to gift the item your crafting you don't have to wait if shipping. 2.) Price. This is not expensive yarn. 3.) Quality. It lasts! Colors do not bleed. Does not fade. It is easy to care for. Quite soft once washed. 4.) Variety of colors! 5.) Free patterns! They are quality patterns that work up nicely.
