135-098P Hometown Yarn, Houston Cream (1 skein)

Super soft and fluffy, perfect for making doll wig wefts!

Lion Brand Hometown Tarn is my favorite for making loom knit hats. I use the adult (orange) loom and can make one hat with yarn left over. These hats are great for giving to the unhoused people. There are many different colors. The people appreciate the choices. I usually order the solid colors as more yarn than the tweeds or specialty colors. As a give away, I want quality, softness and price. This meets all my needs!

Nice thick yarn. Soft and easy to work with.

I love this yarn. So soft and silky and heavy weight. And the colors are beautiful...really more than I expected. Using a single crochet, I made a generously sized blanket for a full sized bed. What I accidentally created was a weighted blanket. The thing weighs a ton! I use it on my bed and I've never slept so well. It is very warm...on warmer nights it's too warm so I turn on a fan because I love it so much. It is nearly the perfect blanket yarn for me... Save one thing! IT SHEDS MORE THAN A LARGE DOG IN THE SUMMER!!! And on this point I do not exaggerate! I have washed it according to instructions, rolled it with a lint roller/brush, and done everything I could to minimize the issue to no avail. Actually the shedding began while I was in the early phase of the project and just got worse. My final solution was to pillowcase it between 2 old sheets, and that has minimized the issue. I must emphasize this one point....I love all other things about this yarn and the blanket I created (so much I made one for my daughter who loves it enough to put up with the shedding) with it to over look the insane amount of shedding. Please trust me on the shedding. Other than that one flaw, I would give this yarn an absolute 5 stars!

I don’t usually write reviews but this yarn calls for one. I am knitting a prayer shawl and the yarn is perfect. The weight is just right, the color is beautiful (soft aqua) and it is so very soft. I highly recommend it.

It knits up so smoothly and quickly. When I made this hat I had let enough time go that I had five inches on my knitting loom than I had realized - away I’d gone with wrap 2, figure eight two. That photo with the cream is Aspen Tweed and Chicago Charcoal. The red one is when I wasn’t quite finished. That one is Tampa Spice. Some of the varieties split but it’s not a huge problem. No factor knots. There are so many different colors you get to choose from. It shimmers sometimes if it’s juuust right - not a glittery shimmer but a hi, I am a gorgeous affordable hat shimmer.

Good yarn

The belefonte concrete yarn is not grey. In fact it is brown and does not look like the pictures at all as it is brown. I am aware that different screens can make colors look a little off. With that being said, I have ordered and received 3 other colors that are true to the provided pictures, so something is off here. As for the quality of the yarn, I would give it 4 stars. It easily unravels when working with it and starts to get fuzzy if you need to pull it out for any reason (for me, it was the unraveling). I would use this again, but only on patterns I have done before and and where color wont matter. I do have another use for these, however a little over $20 for 3 small skeins of an unneeded color that unravels is just disappointing. I did give this particular color 3 stars because it is pretty but if I had to return it, I would have given a tougher review. Other stores have this color shown properly so it would have been evident that it was brown if Amazon had the right pictures. Shame.

Exactly what I was looking for

Its fine to use in repairing a carpet, but I have sweaters made from similar yarn from Malta that are a bit too silky and piled over the years. I don't know how to knit but if I did? I would not use this yarn for a sweater, at least not for an adult.

Me gusto mucho fácil de tejer

Have wanted to try this yarn for a while, it is absolutely beautiful. Wonderful colour and so soft. Have ordered a few more colours through Amazon, but it is more expensive than I usually pay, but I guess you get what you pay for. Have found it cheaper through a UK based hobby shop, so you can get it cheaper in the UK if you look around.

Package received as it was estimated. The right item description and quality. Very happy with the order, I am already working on my new sweater.
