Grandson wanted a teddy bear. Substituted yarn with Premier Bunny because I couldn’t find recommended yarn. The yarn was very soft! The cording was very secure and I was very glad that there was no shedding or breakage during use. This was a knitted project, so had to be very careful not to drop a stitch; so fluffy it was difficult to recover when needing to correct a mistake. The project actually worked up quickly and turned out beautifully. I would buy it again for this type of project!
