Great analysis, thank you! I've watched several videos on this topic & this is the best...it's specific & direct. Using the same hook size gave a perfect visual & the color & texture comparison was very helpful.👏🌈

Its so interesting how people are so different when it comes to their yarn preferences. I absolutely hate sweet snuggles! I primarily use bernat blanket for my plushies. I have absolutely no issue with my tension however that's just me. Great comparison video though, i always wondered the difference between the posh and snuggles so thanks.

I agree! I use Bernat Blanket a majority of the time. I haven’t had much luck with Sweet Snuggles lite/home slim. It never sews closed without stripping and jamming on me. I do like Parfait Chunky for the most part. Sometimes it is also a pain to close, but it’s easy to work with!

[@beebookandcandle]

The comparisons were helpful! I will say that the "lay flat to dry" instructions on the Posh yarn put me off, so I'm stuck with my Bernat for the time being. Desperate times!

[@cathyfeather4620]

Thanks for the comparison of the yarns. I will have to try the posh.

[@Lorrainebreternitz]

I agree 💯% on Parfait Chunky actually being a size 5. Posh actually works up slightly larger for me. I love that it is easy to work with and the colors are usable! As for the patterns, I’d love to have a wolf option. I’ve had a few requests, but I just can’t find a nice pattern.

[@travelingponystudio]

That's how I feel too! I've had some request for a wolf pattern but haven't found something I like! I'll try and make one!

I gave up amigurumi because of Bernat blanket. For Christmas, I made a monster for each of my grandkids, great grandkids, and a great nephew, 8 total. Most were 4 weight yarns, and 2 were Bernat blanket. The Bernat came out about 15 inches tall. I hurt so bad by the time I finished (I’m 62 with arthritic hands). Maybe it wasn’t just the amigurumi. Maybe it was the yarn! Thank you for your opinions on these.

[@travelingponystudio]

Try a different yarn! I started out with bernat and was going to quit until I found sweet snuggles lite. It's sooo much easier and doesn't cause me any pain. My joints hurt when I use bernat so I bet it's the yarn!

[@erinb2887]

Bernat is like fighting the yarn instead of crocheting it!🧶

[@sharonking5962]

Make whatever you want as sometimes we don't know we want it until some else makes it.

[@travelingponystudio]

That's so true! I'm feeling like a cute fox! ❤

[@craftlover9702]

I'm loving the Posh for my smaller items. It frogs out, no pun intended, so much easier than chenille yarn. I also like sweet snuggles, not a fan of parfait chunky as for me it deteriorates too much for me.

[@travelingponystudio]

Yes! It frogs out so much easier than sweet snuggles or parfait. ❤ That's another reason I think it's good for anyone. You can actually make mistakes and not worry about ruining your yarn

[@margaretswann6805]

I thought I was the only only one that was hurt by Bernat Blanket. I agree with you about Posh. Just squeezed it today, lol. To me the Posh feels much like the Bernat Baby Blanket. I was trying to find traditional mallard colors like the dark green but I can’t find it in the posh style yarn. Any suggestions?

[@travelingponystudio]

You are not alone! Bernat blanket pains me so much to work with. I try to avoid it at all cost. As for colors, I use Agave in Chenille Home Slim. I think Premier also has a green that works

[@cottontailcrafts1719]

It really sticks that in Canada we can't get this new yarn,, been hard seeing everyone review it and I can't play with it.. I am not a fan of bernat either,,, but I could never use a 5mm hook,,, I have to use a 6.5 with bernat

[@travelingponystudio]

I can't believe y'all can't get it! Is there no Joann's there?

[@cottontailcrafts1719]

@@travelingponystudio no Joanne's or hobby lobby. I signed up online for a Joanne's account and i tried to buy the posh online and it says can't ship to my destination

[@christymcwisty2325]

So I'm unclear, you LOVE Bernat right? 🤣 jk that stuff wears out my hands and they hurt for days after 😭 but I'm definitely enjoying the Posh much more.

[@travelingponystudio]

If I ever admit to loving Bernat just know I've been kidnapped!!!

[@amys5087]

I like your post, but I thought u might be interested to hear that the most popular blanket I ever made was for my toddler gson. It was bernat blanket in variegated green. He's addicted to it. But its hard to work with. For toys I usually use worsted which seems to be phasing out to chenille.. I did do some in Chenille, but I'm afraid it will unravel. Looking forward to see more of your videos.

[@travelingponystudio]

I think I know which color you're talking about and it is pretty! I just wish it was softer. I also love worsted but chenille definitely seems to be taking over

[@mistyy_.watterfxll]

Sweet snuggles yarn is so soft and has good colors but the quality is horribleeee it keeps breaking and fraying smh

[@egoreknits]

Please make a fat cat pattern.
