Posted - Apr 10 2011 : 10:00:21 AMHave you ever combined different yarns (by manufacturer name - bernat, redheart etc) in one blanket? I could be asking a dumb question, but I found a color by Bernat that Red Heart doesn't have, and I'd like to use them together with other Red Heart yarn (one blanket).
