The Universal yarn is very springy and soft. A few in the bin that were the same brand but had a different looking label weren’t as soft. Hopefully the softer one is the most current, because it’s very nice to knit with. This felted a little bit when I washed and dried it. More like fuzzing than felting. One hat per skein, and after 3 skeins of leftovers, one more hat could be made. TOTAL = 4 HATS/$9

The ‘I Love This Yarn’ is always soft and fuzzed a bit too in the washer and dryer. But for under $4, I have 2 hats to donate and yarn left over. TOTAL = 2 HATS/$4
