Coats Yarn RED HEART Gumdrop Yarn, Rock Candy - E800-960

You saved my life! I started making a baby blanket with this yarn and ran short. It's discontinued! :-( I was about ready to give up, but found ONE SKEIN on "Fiegensfabulousfinds"....I took a chance...bought it and it arrived earlier than expected! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Now, i don't have to start over and make a new blanket. :-)

Bought this as a gift and my girlfriend loves w.

I love, love, love this yarn! I crochet a lot of blankets and stuffed toys, and the softness and gorgeous colors just give the finished product a special look and feel. The yarn is smooth so it crochets easily, and I have had no issues with finding a frustrating "clump" of yarn hidden inside like so many other brands I have used. It washes beautifully, and my treasures come out even softer than before with absolutely no color fading.The only thing close to a negative would be the size of the skein. Because they are smaller than the usual ones I buy, I find I need more to finish a project and it can add to the cost. Despite that, the quality and overall look of this yarn makes it well worth it.

My granddaughter chose this yarn for me - I am crocheting a blanket for her soon-to-be baby sister & she wanted it to be "mermaid colors". This yarn is beautiful but it's a lightweight gauge so although the blanket pattern I'm using usually takes 3 skeins of yarn, I had to purchase 4 skeins to make this blanket a decent size. And it is expensive at about $9 a skein. But I do love the way it's turning out.

I am impressed with this yarn and the vibrancy in color. I would have given 5 stars but I was very disappointed in the size of the skeins. I had searched for 'supersize'. This is not a RedHeart issue, this is an Amazon issue. I'm am impressed enough with the yarn that I ordered 4 more so I can complete the project I'm working on.

I'm not usually a fan of acrylic yarn because of it being scratchy but that's not the case with this yarn. It's really soft and is lightweight. It would be a good yarn to make baby things out of. I love the colors, too. If you're buying this one for color pooling, be prepared for a challenge. The grey color run is long but the others are very short-enough for one stitch so it's hard to make it work. But I like it fine "non-pooled." Really cute!

I am making a baby blanket with this and I love the colors. I have also made one in the purple color and it was beautiful for my great granddaughter. The yarn is soft and easy to crochet. It doesn't snarl and snag because it doesn't have that annoying extra fuzz. I will be using the orange color next. You could actually make the blankets in each color and they would look good together since the colors match so well.

Used it to make a beanie for my niece for Christmas (She put it on right away and kept it on for hours even though we were inside). Used a 5mm crochet hook using a double crochet stitch. The spacing on the colors was good. No real fuzz or separating/unwinding of the strand like some of the yarns advertised a soft tend to do.
