Just got this in an email. They have a new type of skein--tangle free, quick start. It's bernat blanket, red heart ss, a bulky caron and a worsted weight caron. Looks interesting.

I saw this on a few FB sites showing the RHSS and was intrigued. It will be okay for striped projects but, I don't make hardly any of those patterns. Now if they made it in the Ombre', that would pique my interest.

Interesting.  I wonder if it all goes to 'yarn barf' when you are 3/4ths  thru the skein (I only watched the little video above, I hadn't seen it before.  And looks like it would be more awkward to store in that shape.  Also wondering how much more they will charge for this.  I usually hand-wind balls when I'm ready to use them (Hubby calls it my couch aerobics   ) so this is a 'meh' for me.

My thoughts exactly on yarn barfs, storage and pricing.

I just watched Repeat Crafter Me on FB. Her info includes: RHSS will come in solids and the O'Go doughnut prevents yarn barf, plus, the same amount of yarn as the skeins.. Pricing from Yarnspirations will be about RHSS-$6, Bernat Blanket yarn-$12, Caron-$8. Retailers will probably have different pricing and not carrying all 4 brands at each store. Last but not least, this new invention of wrapping will not replace skeins as they will still be available. Hope this info helps. I will be trying at least one when it comes to town, if it comes to town.

I agree with the storage issue. Hard to really tell how large it is, but it looks bulkier than a regular skein. In the video it appeared to unroll evenly without barfing but who knows in real life. It'll be interesting to give it a try.
