I got to try this yarn for the first time, and I loved its squishy but firm feel when I crocheted with it. It recommends using a 25 mm / 50 US crochet hook, but with the basket bowl I created, I used a 12 mm / N Hook to keep it tight and very durable. This yarn is impossible to snap or break with your hands as it's well constructed.
It looks like one of those samples you would see in a home renovation reality show of the staged blanket left on a bed or sofa. For a 40" x 50" blanket, you will need 10 balls of it. You can see more free patterns here for this.
This yarn went to market in 2023.
