I wanted to crochet a chunky blanket for my sister for Christmas and decided to go with a giant hook and giant yarn. While it was tough to get the hang of using a big hook (T-30, 30 mm hook), this yarn was easy to work with while I was getting the hang of it and I’m so glad it wasn’t stretchy. You’ll need to keep your tension looser than normal if you end up using a hook!
The yarn is so soft. Perfect texture for a blanket. I used an easy pattern (1 row double crochet, 1 row slip stitch) and it ended up looking like it was harder than it was. It worked up quickly (I had to redo quite a few stitches though so it evened out the timeline ????). I loved the color I chose! The yarn came in vacuum packed bags which was convenient - tip: only open each bag as you need more yarn. Less stuff everywhere! The smell wasn’t too bad, in fact, I don’t remember being repulsed at all. Good value for the money. If I had bought these elsewhere, I probably would have had to drop more money to make a blanket. That said, this comes with 8 skeins of yarn. It’s enough to make a lap blanket. Perfect for reading, sitting, etc. and for a few simple tassels. Covers you from the waist down, basically. Looks cute on a couch or on the end of a bed.:) But too small for covering your whole body to take a nap on the couch. ???? I’d recommend either buying additional single skeins to make it a tad bigger, or buy 16 total if you want ensure that it’ll cover someone’s whole body. My sister loved it as a gift and didn’t think it was too small so if you can’t buy more, you’ll likely be ok.:) Hope the photos help you get a better idea of the sizing!

I noticed 2 of the skeins felt flat (even after letting it air out from the vacuum sealed packaging).
So I saw this neat trick where you can run the yarn through your whisk and it will help fluff up the condensed/packed yarn.
In the photo, the left yarn felt thin and flat while the right felt more plush and thicker. The right yarn seems a lot plush and visually plush and the left looks slightly less plush. As I ran my hand through the left sided yarn, I did notice some spots where it was thinner. It's alittle hard to see in the picture but I can see and feel that there is a bit of a difference.
So In my opinion, the quality of each skein and the "plushness" / chunkyness(?) feels slightly inconsistent.
