Pros and Cons
First off, this is a high price for what you get. BUT, in my case, it made more sense to buy these for the color variety than it did to buy full skeins of so many different colored yarns. The value isn't there and you are paying for convenience and variety rather than the amount of actual product you get. The yarn itself is soft and silky, really nice quality, and the colors are great.My biggest beef with these yarns is that they are tiny, tiny skeins and they should not have joins/ends in them! I am crocheting a granny ripple blanket with them that changes color every row, and it takes two of the same color to finish a row with just a bit left for joining in another color and weaving in ends (I bought multiple packs so I would have 2 of each color). So many of these tiny skeins have knots in them where they joined the yarn so I have to cut them out, do a magic knot, and weave in the ends in the middle of so many rows. That takes up valuable yarn that I needed to complete the row and I would often be playing yarn chicken at the end due to the loss of yarn length.In my opinion, there is no excuse for skeins this small to have ends/joins, whatever you want to call it, at least not with the frequency these packs have. Especially at this price point, which like I said, is ridiculously high for what you get in a pack. If they worked on quality control, I would have no complaints. I knew what I was buying and how much I was paying for it to get what I wanted so that isn't the issue. If they are made out of yarn ends and knotted together, the description and price should reflect that as opposed to selling them as a premium product at a high cost. I would never have bought them if I had known because my project is carefully planned around the amounts of useable yarn in each skein.By the way, I am not usually one to complain about yarn joins in a skein as long as it is reasonable for the amount of yarn I am getting. I don't mind weaving in ends and whatnot. I've been crocheting for something like 25 years and I'm not a complainer, not much surprises me, I can deal with mostly anything that comes my way, etc. so please don't think I am just being fussy. This is truly an issue that this company needs to evaluate going forward because otherwise, these yarns are fantastic.

Great yarn selection
I love these yarns - it's a great color selection. I'm using them for weaving, where i don't need a large quantity of yarn. I just need a small amount & this is great, so i don't have to buy large balls of yarn when i need only a small quantity. It's nice quality, too -

The colors are so much fun!
I purchased 3 different mini packs which equals a wide range of colors not just for little bears but for anything I can imagine. I've used and loved Knit Picks yarn for about 5 years. The wool yarns are wonderful but I recently tried their acrylic and am extremely pleased!

Goes out of stock frequently
This is wonderful to work with and the colors are great, except the blue. There should be more than 2 (light and very dark) shades.
