I won some Loops&Threads: Facet Stones from BOD. This was in 2017 when she had an Instagram giveaway for 50 skeins of yarn. So Michaels is trying to get one over on us by taking away the “Stones” from the title.. It is indeed the same yarn. Do you know that you ‘yarn under’? It took me slowing down your video to catch it 😂. Thank you Ginger! 🥰🧶👍🏽👏🏽

I tried making a ribbed beanie with the Facets “Flame” yarn and the result of working with the yarn is that I can’t bring myself to finish the beanie or to frog it. It had numerous ‘breaks’ and knots and the thickness varied. The yarn catches on everything therefore wearing it as a beanie or even making a blanket with it will mean fingernails and rings will be catching in it and pulling out fluffs. Frogging it is a sad affair as it was caught up in the simple hdc blo’s and I had to go very slow. If anyone has suggestions or could share their experience with Facets please let me know!

Just got my order of Facets from Michaels. Eek. Well, if you've ever had the color Rain Shower of the Prism yarn from Mary Maxim then you have a pretty good idea of what Facets is like. Unforgettable, I'm going to say is much stronger for one. Facets is very fuzzy and tended to drag a bit on my hook. It gets VERY thin in spots, typical for roving yarn. Since this is made in China, to me it seemed kind of cheap, not like the much better yarns made in Turkey. Also it feels very dry when crocheting. When first seeing it, I knew it wasn't exactly as I was expecting but the colors are very beautiful. Also it seems like it will be a "hot" yarn, that is if using a tighter stitch the garment will be very warm. It doesn't feel breathable to me so I would suggest using lacy stitches. I would imagine a blanket made of this would feel very cloying. All in all I probably won't buy this again which is sad because I really love the colors.

Nice! Thanks for taking the time to show us! Perfect accompaniment for my afternoon coffee and knitting! 😀 🧶🧶

I’ve had Facets “wisp” out on me in the middle of a skein. I had to cut out a section of “unspun” yarn.

I was thinking a virus shawl would be pretty but whatever you do will surely be gorgeous. Thank you for this and all the videos and collaborations! xo

My choice will always be machine was and dry regardless of most other qualities. 😉

I bought the facet yarn I made a cowl It did come out nice i gave it as a christmas gift..I do feel that the facet unravels on the end more then the unforgettable yarn. Thank you for sharing..😊

I've used Red Heart Unforgettable to make blankets. I loved how they turned out. They were also a bit heavy which worked perfectly for a kid's weighted blanket without having to add weights.

I almost missed out on unforgettable and landscapes because some people hate it and being fairly new I was like stay away from that but I recently got it on clearnqce and made some shawls and I have to say it turned out so beautiful! I'm glad I took a chance and I'd gladly purchase this too.

I have had my eye on this since it came out new last week on our Canadian Michaels website. I thought upon seeing it ,it reminded me of red heart unforgettable which I really love. After watching your review I will be ordering some. Thank you

I love Red Heart Unforgettable. And I just bought some of the Facets yarn. I can't wait to try it. I saw it on one of your Michael's videos. So I had to get some. The colors are really pretty.

I bought this a few days ago, it’s literally falling apart as I try to knit with it. And if you try to rip anything out all the stitches fuse together

The Facets makes me think of the Debbie Mumm yarn by Jo-Ann Traditions that was around for a while but then got discontinued. It also had lovely self striping colors, was shiny and a roving style yarn. Great review and comparison!
