Daniel and I are predicting the Bernat Velvet yarn to be one of the biggest yarns for 2018 / 2019. Once you feel it, hook with it... you may just fall in love with it. Perfectly coloured natural shimmer. It's heaven gliding through your fingers.
This product is available at Joann Fabrics & Crafts, Michaels and Walmart. Other retailers may be carrying this product as well. Some of the retailers may be carrying only select colours. See a store near you.
I've crocheted a scarf and afghan with this yarn. Words hardly describe it. My friend Shannon is wearing one of the patterns I did for this product. The pattern will be released in the future.

What is the best way to tie off this yarn. I made a blanket and it fell apart when my sister washed it.

This yarn makes a GREAT sweater. I used the pattern by Hey Carrie for "Oversized Crochet Bobble Cardigan (no buttons) Sweater." This pattern works up great for this yarn because the back and front two panels are all one piece -- all you have to do is attach sleeves to it. It is the 2nd sweater I made (I first used this same pattern with the Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick yarn; I love it, but the sweater is so heavy and hard to work with as you get further along.)
So, I decided to try the Bernat Velvet yarn for this pattern, and by far is it the best sweater EVER!!! People always ask me (or boldy come right up and start touching it) can I feel it? Got lots of compliments on it. I made this sweater really long, just above the knees. The beauty of this yarn is it is so soft, you can tie it and make it shorter if you want to, or keep it long and open -- AWESOME yarn for this. I also made beanies out of it, and although other people liked the beanies, I didn't care for it in this yarn because it has too much softness for a beanie -- may try to make a beret using it.

I have made bérets with this and they are magnificent. The dark colors are very classy. Try it, you'll like it.

I made some velvet ballet slippers with it and LOVE it for those. Pattern at hearthookhome.com. The pattern is called Chunky Ballet Slippers. I used a J hook for them though and did 14 rows for about a size 8-9 womens. Going to try some cowls with it next.
