Oh Shelly, please not to worry about giving credit - I just wanted to be sure you had seen the great simple pattern! No apologies or corrections needed at all.
I'm glad you are liking the scarves made with it. I've noticed that according to what kind of yarn I use, they look a little different. One of the yarns I used is worsted, but what I call "a little fuzzy". It made a lovely scarf that didn't look quite as open, but very pretty.
PS if you have any pre-teen or teen girls on your list, I posted a really cute, simple boot cuff pattern today, too. I'm making some of them to go with the scarves I'd already made.Annette

That is exactly what I said only I called it Baling Twine, I lived on a farm when I was young, I remember my Dad baling Hay and the twine looked just like that. They have the nerve to charge an outrageous price for it..

Shelly, I think I will try the RH Treasure, for the Grandsons. I wanted a self striping yarn and I loved the look of the mosaic. But it sure is awful to work with, If I throw a skein of yarn away you know it has to be bad. Glad I could save you some time and money.

I wonder if there was a way to wash and soften it? I don't know too much about this, but have heard of this sort of thing being done. Anyone have any exprience in softening yarn?

I don't think there is anyway of softening this yarn. Plus I don't like the way it feels or looks when crocheting, there is no way a softener can make it look right. I don't know if you ever seen Baling twine but if you have there is no way of softening baling twine. It just looks ideous, especially for the price they are charging it is not a cheap yarn.

I won't be looking at the mosaic yarn anymore with a yearning in my yarn heart. Call me a "bad yarn soldier" on this one, but I trust what everyone is saying about this yarn. Thanks for the great information --- HUGS, Shelly

Glad I saved you some money. It isn't anything against Bernat it is just this one Type. I really like the Bernat satin.

I have used Bernat for many , many years, I got it when I needed something for a baby. This is just this one kind that is bad. I bought it when it was on sale If anyone knows if washing it will help please let us know. another one I picked up is LionBrand Amasing. It feels a lot like mohair yarn. It is 53%wool and 47%acrylic. I make hats for every one in the neighbor and I thought that would make a good one. . Margaret
