I recently ordered six skeins of Bloom DK, three Hydrangea and three Apricot Blossom. I love the color combinations of each color scheme but am disappointed in the difference in softness. The Hydrangea skeins are so soft and worked up beautifully, resulting in two very soft blankets. The Apricot Blossom yarn is, sadly, not even close to being as soft as the Hydrangea. This is very disappointing as I make preemie blankets and I'm concerned the two Apricot Blossom blankets are not going to be soft enough. I still have not yet decided if I will send the two Apricot Blossom blankets or not, which I spent a lot of time and effort making, and unfortunately, I'm now hesitant to purchase other colors as I cannot be sure they will be soft enough. If I had ordered only the Hydrangea, I would give a 5 for Quality and rate it Soft; because of the almost roughness of the Apricot Blossom, I cannot give those high ratings.
