Bernat Blanket Yarn
Six hundred grams, and the strand is polyester.
This is the big Blanket ball: 600 g, 431 yards, labelled #6 super bulky. Eight stitches to 4 inches on 8 mm needles is the knit gauge. The shop price on the page is $29.99.
Bernat belongs to Spinrite. That company closed the Listowel, Ontario factory on July 25, 2025. No replacement Canadian mill is named for this ball.
The page points it at blankets and crochet baskets. Care is a cold delicate wash and a low tumble dry.
