Wednesday Review:Vanna's Choice

I know that in the knitting or crocheting communities that acrylic is a bad word. I associate it with crunchy, wierd colored, squiggly, plasticy yarn. I, myself, have turned into a yarn snob as of late. But I have given myself some time for reflection, and it has ocurred to me that perhaps I have been a little unfair. There are those newbies who are nowhere near a yarn shop, have no computer, and don't know about knitpicks.com and their reasonable rates on yarn. The only thing they have available is WalMart or Michaels. Or there are those who don't do the hobby enough to justify spending $30 on a ball of yarn. Or those who just can't afford anything but acrylic.
But, in all fairness, I shall be doing some reviews of acrylic yarn. Largely because I still have some in my stash that I am trying to get rid of by means of stashbusting projects. I am the ultimate hypocrite, I know.
So this week is Vanna White's Vanna's Choice. And I must say it ain't half bad. It has a range of decent colors, none of which are offensive to my eyes. It does not split easily. And it is soft. It seems to wear well. I made a granny square afghan, and it turned out well. I am making another one with the remnants as a baby gift, so that should turn out well. I would give it 3 out of 5 stars in the world of acrylics.
