Not at all what I expected
I have enjoyed ordering other yarn packs (bulky and self striping) from Herrschner's and decided to give this one a go. It wasn't what I expected at all. I received 8 skeins (4 colors, 2 of each) of regular Herrschner's worsted weight yarn in solid colors. The colors were fine and coordinate well, no problem there. But, I don't really think of that as a "famous maker," especially since they have their own item that's mixed Herrschner's yarn. The pack also included a pattern, but the pattern requires significantly more yarn than I received. The pattern calls for 8 7oz skeins of Redheart super saver. The Herrschner's skeins are half that size. So I have enough basic Herrschner yarn to make half of the pattern. Seems like a double let down for me. I guess it did let me try their standard solid worsted yarn. TL;DR The colors are fine, the weight was exactly 28oz, but it wasn't a famous maker or what I would consider an assortment. Included pattern wasn't thoughtfully chosen. Cannot be made with yarn provided. I'll likely buy my mystery packs from someone else in the future and stick to the self striping yarn pack, since that's always as expected.
