Introducing Bernat Blanket Extra yarn, a step above Bernat Blanket yarn as you know it. In the mid- to late 2010s, the craze of increasing the thickness of the yarn began. Crocheters know that more material per inch will increase the cost of the product, but there is a strong demand for it.
There is a slew of free patterns with this type of yarn. View free patterns here.
Due to the thickness of this yarn, you can use your crochet hook or knitting needles and your hands for finger knitting. It enters the craft realm with finger knitting.
This yarn type recently seen on The Circle tv show with Lauren, the contestant finger knitting, she's using yarn that looks like this. It's a step above Bernat Blanket but not anything more thicker than this yarn.
Lauren is doing table knitting but using the floor as the apartment is small, and it's a reality show where she's using the floor so she can do her activities around it.
This type of yarn is popular in the younger generations as the time commitment to make something is short.
I was able to find this yarn at my local Walmart Canada location. However, the quantities you may want may be better for online ordering through Walmart and Yarnspirations.com.
