5 of the Best Yarns to Use for Soft Crochet Projects
Bernat Blanket Yarn
Bernat Blanket yarn is probably, in my opinion, the coziest yarn there is for blankets! It’s a bulky 6 yarn and comes in a big variety of colors. I’ll link some up below so you can check them out.
The best thing about this yarn is that it works up fast which means it’s perfect for blankets and throws! You may enjoy my Sea Soft Baby Blanket Pattern featuring this yarn.

Red Heart Soft Yarn
This soft yarn from Red Heart is amazingly soft and has a really beautiful drape. It looks great when worked up as a blanket both in knit & crochet. This beautiful worsted weight yarn comes in 48 colors and also comes in a fashion soft variety AND chunky soft variety!
How awesome is that? I will link up the yarn below so you can check it out and decide which color is your favorite!

Color Made Easy Yarn – Lion Brand
The Color Made Easy yarn is hands down my favorite bulky 5 yarn that is available right now! Lion Brand hit the nail on the head with this one and boy I am SO happy they decided to make this available.
I recently designed a V Stitch blanket for my son using this yarn and it turned out super cute! Click the image below to check this yarn out to see if it’s the one you might want to try!

Caron Simply Soft – Yarnspirations
Caron Simply Soft is a worsted weight four yarn and is exactly as the name suggests SOFT! This line comes in an amazing variety of colors, tweeds and more!
Feels Like Butta – Lion Brand
Feels like Butta yarn is so soft and is extremely easy on the hands when you are working with it.
I used it to create the baby chevron blanket and plan to use it on even more projects in the future!

Sorry, it’s ‘take a peek’…
LOL! That happens from time to time. I’ll fix it!
The item in the link to Amazon for the Color Made Easy yarn appears to be about $29 for 1 skein. Ummmm. No. Apart from that a, I guess it’s just me, but I don’t enjoy crocheting with bulky yarns. When I like a blanket pattern in bulky, I usually figure out how to adapt it to worsted. I know they go faster in bulky, but I just don’t care for the weight and texture.
It is usually $7-$9 dollars a skein. They must have upped the price on there because $29 is definitely not the real price.

I love Bernat blanket yarn! My new favorite from them is the Velvet yarn! That would make an amazing blanket!
Luv the Red Heart Soft Yarn use it for all my baby blankets.
