New worsted yarn: Waverly by Bernat

[Afghaniac]

Just saw this in a Joann's store today. Finally, a worsted yarn in understated, muted shades. :cheerExamples: Breath of Blue (the palest, softest of blues), Willow (a green that actually looks as if it is from Mother Nature), and many more. I love bright colors, but sometimes I really have a hankering (so to speak) for subtle colors. Waverly is $3.99 for a 3-1/2-ounce skein, but being Frugal Frannie, I'll wait hopefully for a sale.

 

I checked at Walmart to see if it had the Bernat yarn mentioned in another thread, but the yarn dept. at our WM has shrunk to nearly nothing, and no Bernat. I'm not sure if the poster was talking about Waverly or another Bernat yarn. But I would love to find Waverly for less, maybe at another WM.

Well, there IS a sale online for Joanns!

 

Either that, or perhaps you could find it cheaper somewhere else online.

There are lots of JoAnn's coupons out right now. Are you on the mailing/email list? I just stocked up so they aren't of much use to me but there are some for store and some online coming out righ now.

Can you post a link for this yarn? I can't seem to find it and it's not listed on the Bernat site.

Here's one of several links:

I also noticed it's not on the Bernat site, and wondered about that. BTW, the color swatches aren't true to actual color -- or, rather, they're less accurate than normal. One I noticed that is much prettier "in person," for example, is "Antique."

I do get Joann's coupons, but haven't noticed any for that particular yarn -- at least not for the week ending tomorrow.

The coupons I have are good for anything.

it was a 20% off coupon in email for me at least. I was going to avoid going...but now I might have to check that out

Wow! Bernat's one of my favorite yarns! I look forward to checking it out next time I can get to the city. Thanks for sharing!

I have coupons, too, but they're good only for one skein, not an entire purchase. I mostly make afghans, so I need pretty large amounts of yarn. And I feel so guilty indulging in new yarn, since despite all efforts to keep making scrap afghans, they don't seem to make much of a dent in what I have! I guess I need to get back on Joann's email list for the best coupons. I'm still on Michael's, but somehow got dropped from Joann's.

I like your signature quote. I still have an annotated copy of Kahlil Gibran gifted by a boyfriend more than 50 years ago! In the days before texting, etc.

Thank you for posting the link...the colors are beautiful and you said they're even nicer in real life! I love the soft, muted shades. Thanks for posting!!!

I saw that yarn recently. Not only are the colors beautiful but the yarn feels so nice.

While I love bright and funky colors, the muted tones are pretty also. Unfortunately, color swatches online are never the exact match (sometimes the websites say that also). If it a perfect substitute for Berella 4, which was incredible, wonder why they made another yarn. Couldn't they have kept the same?? Oh well, have to see if I can find it in the stores by me.

I can never figure out why products I like are taken off the market. I loved Berella 4, too -- especially its peach shade. And I can't find a similar peach anywhere. But I do like the look and feel of the new Waverly. I thoght the colors were, if anything, even nicer than B4's. I can't wait to finish the stashbuster I'm working on to buy some for a new project.

Wow, Kay, that's awesome!

Thanks for the heads up on the new Waverly yarn from Bernat. I am a fan of Bernat yarns too! I especially love their Satin! Waverly is a very earthy collection! I saw lots of great pairings right off the bat. Greek Sea really took my eye too!
