Lion Brand YarnHomespun Yarn, Soft Bulky Yarn for Knitting, Crocheting, and Crafting, 1 pack, Purple Aster

I had made a pair of sleeves, and it came out lovely. I understand it can be difficult to use for some though I used a larger hook. Great for a wearable piece, and do recommend even just to try out.

Absolutely my most favorite yarn to knit or crochet with! I have made several dozen blankets for gifts and a king size blanket for my husband and myself with this beautiful yarn. It stitches so easily, washes and dries beautifully, and stays incredibly soft. The colors are absolutely beautiful and I never tire of having these beautiful threads in my hands. This yarn is a joy to stitch with and has been for years!

I am using this as a replacement for another yarn. Even though this is darker than the yarn I started with, it is a beautiful addition to the project. It is soft and comfortable to work up.

I buy this occasionally. I have used this yarn for years. Makes great baby blankets. Fast delivery too.

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.

Good quality

I used this yarn to crochet a small blanket for my grandson. He likes the feel of the weight of blankets made with Homespun.

First off, due the nature of the yarn, it will occasionally catch a bit while working with it. I didn't consider that enough to remove a star. Aside from that, it is a pleasure to work with, and had a warm, comfortable feel when done that can only be described as snuggly.The above was made with Hepplewhite and Tudor so you can see how the colors work together.

I made a afghan out of this yarn. So cozy, holds it shape and washes well

Hard to find Michaels doesn’t have it anymore

Lovely product

Just right for my pattern

I liked the ease of using this very bulky yarn to crochet. It is beautiful and soft and the colours are really pleasing to the eye. It responded well to a variety of different stitches - except the sc stitch which I changed it to the V stitch - which looked amazing.I did not like the fraying problem. I had to tie a knot in both ends of the yarn every time I started a new ball. However, the knots were well concealed with the bulkiness of the yarn. I have yet to see what happens when the item is laundered.
