Basix® Chenille Brights X Mama Made Minis

Size 6???

I recently found out that the Basix Chenille Chunky Super Bulky yarn doesn't match up size-wise with Parfait Chunky! I'd rather work with the Parfait. I'm 71 years old and am having problems with crocheting, mostly pain. This yarn is very hard to work with for me. Unfortunately, I got a project partway through before I realized I didn't have enough of this yarn. Also just recently found out about the size difference. I'm pretty sure there is something on this yarn because it irritates my fingers. This yarn is fine otherwise and if you don't have these problems, it will work for you.

I love the colors of the yarn, BUT

The colors in this line are gorgeous! Basix chenille brights is my favorite yarn. The only complaint I have is the extra $1.00 per skein for the exact same amount of yarn. I did not pay attention to this when I first bought a bunch of this when it came out, but now that I have seen the larger price increase I will not buy it again no matter how pretty the colors are.

Love this yarn!

I use this yarn for amigurumi and it’s perfect. It’s soft, but sturdy, and doesn’t shed. I’ve been working through my yarn stash, because I decided this is the yarn I’ll use for everything. That said, you need to do something, anything, to keep the most popular colors in stock. Caramel is a perfect brown but it’s always out of stock. As is the mocha in the Mama Made Mini line.
