Join me in this comprehensive review of Bernat Baby Sport Ombre, where we examine the qualities that set this yarn apart.

Crocheting a lovely baby blanket with just a single skein of Bernat Baby Sport Ombre yarn, showcases its remarkable value and appeals to those seeking budget-friendly fiber options.

• My in depth review below, will tell you what happened when I crocheted with Bernat Big Ball Baby Sport Ombre.

• Knots…were there knots? There was one knot in two of the three balls that I worked with. One ball didn’t have any knots. The knots didn’t create any problems.
• The color variegation was very nice. There is an all girl color scheme, an all boy, and a unisex color scheme, readily available at my local Wal Mart & Joanns Fabric and Craft Store.
• I did NOT encounter a thick or thin spot when using this yarn. That gave me all of the happy feels.
• The yarn is a bit on the scratchy side before it is washed..
• I washed and dried two swatches of this yarn. (I washed it really hard) Fabric softener was used and when it came out of the dryer, it was much softer than it was previously.
• After washing and drying, the yarn has a soft loft and is so squishable. I think babies will love snuggling with items made using this yarn.
  
• The yarn didn’t show any signs of pilling.
• I drew an outline of one of the swatches before washing and drying. There did seem to be a small amount of shrinkage. If you are making a fitted garment, you will need to provide a bit of ease into the construction. 
  

  Will I recommend Bernat Baby Sport Ombre Yarn? YES! I am giving this yarn 4.5 stars on a 5 star rating.
