Love This Yarn

Location: Indianapolis, IN Age: Over 65

I recently ran across the project sheet for the Radiant Stripes Blanket and Quality:
started it last week using the Impeccable yarn. I have been a big fan of Caron 5/
Simply Soft, but find the Impeccable much easier to crochet with as it does not Performance (Achieved
split. My only complaint is that the project calls for the Impeccable Big (large desired results):
skeins) and I have been unable to find them at any Michael's store in my local 5/
area ... or on line for that matter. I am a big believer in finding a yarn that I like
Value:
and sticking with it. This will be my #1 yarn. 5/
