Patons Bohemian is a Polyester 81%/ Acrylic 18% super bulky chenille type yarn. You can find it at patonsyarns.com and Michael's. Bohemian is super soft when working with it, and depending on the stitch, works up feeling almost like a pelt. I like it for outer garments and super cuddly throws or shawls.
The Good
The feel of the garment is fabulous, and the super bulky weight makes most projects work up quickly.
It also is an easy to care for yarn: machine wash gentle cycle, cold water, no bleach, tumble dry low heat.
The Bad
There isn't a wide range of color choices that I have seen, but the way they blend colors is appealing. The ends can be a bit shreddy, so I wouldn't recommend using it as a fringe. It might be a bit hard for a beginner to handle because of the way the strands blend together, but I would say that about any yarn that is fuzzy.
So, if you are looking for an interesting yarn for a comfy garment or afgan, check out Patons Bohemian. As always, this is only my opinion and you are welcome to form your own.
