Review

Bernat Softee Chunky was one of the first yarns that I started to use. Many of the brick and mortar stores carry it, but usually only a handful of colors. Some colors only seem to be found online and must be ordered, which can be annoying. It also has no dye lots, although it is dyed in batches. I have no idea if this is an issue when doing larger projects that require more than one skein of yarn. Overall, this yarn is a great choice and one I use quite a bit for cat toys.
