Lion Brand Yarn Homespun Yarn, Soft Bulky Yarn for Knitting, Crocheting, and Crafting, 1 pack, Waterfall

Soft yarn. Great color

This yarn is warm, comfortable, easier to work with than the current blanket yarns and it holds up very well. I'm glad it hasn't been discontinued! I did have to search for the correct color because 11 years ago I made my newborn grandson a blanket out of Homespun yarn. That blanket has been all over the country. Every trip, every cold ride in a car, the blanket has been with him. It has been dragged all over and it lasted 11 years and thousands of miles before the blanket literally fell apart. "Grandma, I want another exactly like it only a little bigger." Thank goodness Lyon Brand Homespun hasn't been discontinued. I am in the process of making another blanket.

I love this Homespun yarn! It's so soft and is beautiful, especially in a simple pattern with a small stitch. I'm using Pearl to make a baby blanket for someone who likes neutrals and this is perfect, especially for a girl. The yarn has a subtle luminescence like a pearl that's just gorgeous when the light hits it. That said, I would use this as an external blanket, i.e., not as a receiving blanket or a crib blanket (unless baby is wearing pajamas) but more like a stroller/car blanket, where the blanket wouldn't touch baby's skin directly. It's soft but still a little rough for a baby. Which is why I'm also making an afghan for myself, lol. The variety/selection of colors is great as well. And I love the way the variegated colors fade into one another, the change is gradual and looks beautiful. I have several colors selected that I plan to purchase for future projects.There are a couple of things to be aware of: 1) That while this yarn doesn't shed, some colors do pile (e.g., 236 - Celestial Stripes). While it can enhance the beauty of the yarn/project (looks more heathery which is nice for capes, scarfs, etc.), the brilliance/intensity of the colors may become muted especially if the stitch is large/loose. 2) The texture of the yarn is bulky which requires additional control especially depending on the stitch so some don't recommend this yarn for beginners. I don't think it matters, just make sure you have a K hook or larger depending on how tight/loose your stitch is and test out a swatch of the stitch you're planning to use to make sure it will work. It literally took 6 attempts with the Celestial color before I found a pattern that didn't cause the yarn to lose it's sheen and brillance. It's an absolutely beautiful blend of teal, turquoise, blue, purple, dark pink, and a light yellow/green and smaller stitches best maintain both otherwise the texture will mellow and become more heathery as you work with it. Still beautiful, just a different look to be aware of if you use it. Interestingly, I didn't experience this with the Pearl color so it differs from color to color.Homespun has become one of my go to yarns when I'm seeking a bulky yarn. I highly recommend it.

I really love this yarn! I knitted 2 hats and 2 scarves, one set for me and one for a good friend. Although this yarn is fluffy it didn’t split while knitting, so it was easy to use and I love the color! Very good quality.

I used this yarn to make a prayer shawl that is donated to a local nursing home. It takes three skeins. A local Church recommended this yarn as they collect the shawls to be donated. Amazon has a nice selection of colors and sells them in quantities of three. The yarn is soft and comfortable.

This yarn has been discontinued by Lion Brand. I had purchased three skeins from a local shop at a deeply discounted price, then found I needed a fourth for the project I was knitting, so I bought this (more expensive) one from Amazon. Anyhow...the extremely thin fibers of this yarn are NOT twisted together. Instead they are tied together at intervals by a very thin thread. The effect is somewhat puffy, which I like. The problem, of course, is that it is very easy to split the fibers making up the strand and/or to catch the needle on one of the threads. Working with this stuff takes some getting used to and a lot of patience, to say the least. I very much enjoyed the way the colors transition into each other and the knitted fabric is very soft. I'm not crazy about the shine, but it's not a deal-breaker. If I can find more of this yarn in a different color combination and at a healthy discount, I'd buy it again.

Wonderful color and great pro

Yes, I love it. I want more. But it is little expensive$? Should sell and good prices. Thank you.
