Yarn Review: Universal Yarns Classic Shades

This might not be my most objective review ever, because I'm so emotionally involved with this amazing yarn!  Let me tell you a story about this yarn...

Once upon a time, I loved to knit, but the only yarn I ever used was acrylic from Michael's because that was where I worked.  I thought I was getting such a great deal, first to grab the yarn that went on clearance, getting an employee discount on everything else.  SO MUCH HOMESPUN.

Then one day, I was on a roadtrip and I saw a billboard for a yarn store.  I immediately demanded we stop at the yarn store, and that was where I discovered Universal Yarn Classic Shades.  Its 70% acrylic, 30% wool so it was more affordable than most LYS yarns, and comes in such pretty colors!  I bought 3 skeins in the Tutti Frutti colorway and happily knit away for the rest of the roadtrip.
This is what I made:

When I returned home from my roadtrip, I wanted more of this yarn and I knew they didn't carry it at Michael's, so I googled it.  That was how I discovered WEBS.  And that was the first step towards a yarn stash that looks like this:

The bottom right corner is all Classic Shades!

No more big box acrylic for me, I buy nice yarn online now, thanks to Universal Yarn Classic Shades.  For more reviewy information:  This is 70% acrylic, it's no luxury yarn.  But its soft, affordable, machine washable, and comes in pretty colors.  It's suitable for pretty much any project you can think of, and its super fun to knit with.  My fiance bought me every color for Christmas last year:
