Bernat Premium is one of my favorite yarns! It's so soft and fun to work with.

I have no idea why I purchased the black flecked color though..... black is so hard to crochet, hard to see and hard to see stitch definition. But it makes a great color for a donation scarf :) There is a sample of the pattern at the end in red. Much easier to see.
