Soft, not itchy. Works well for a felting project also! Review: Value and Versatility - As someone who prefers working with natural fibers, I really love Lion Brand's Fisherman's Wool. I wont claim it's perfect. It's not uncommon to come across inclusions throughout a given skein, usually pieces of cotton tie or little pieces of plant matter, though I've never encountered anything I couldn't just pick out. The yarn can also be a little on the scratchy side, but even that is minimal, and to be expected given that this is a natural fiber ( I feel obliged to point out that as someone with sensitive skin AND contact dermatitis I have had NO issue crocheting for long periods of times with this yarn - no itchy or chafed hands here! ) That being said, I've never had any issue working with this yarn. I've used it for both weaving and crocheting and really enjoy working with it in both settings. The shawls I've made using this yarn came out SO warm and cozy, and I've gotten so many complements on them. Also my cats seem to love this yarn more than any other I buy and love to rub all over anything I make with it - do with that information what you will! ## Features - YARN FOR KNITTING: This yarn comes in 100% pure virgin wool options as well as wool blends. The natural lanolin oil makes it an ideal knit and crochet yarn for creating warm scarves, hats, ski-wear, fisherman sweaters, bags, and textured decor. - WARM, SOFT YARN: This yarn for crocheting is rated CYC #4 medium/worsted and features water-resistant properties that can be dyed for colorwork. Each ball weighs 8 oz./227 g (6 oz./170 g in prints) and is 465 yd./425 m long (348 yd./318 m in prints). - CHECK YOUR GAUGE: Knit stitches needed for 4" x 4" swatch: 16 sts x 22 r on #9 (5.5-millimeter) needles. Crochet stitches needed for 4" x 4" swatch: 16 sc x 16 r on H-8 (5-millimeter) hook. - GENTLE CARE: To clean items made from this delicate yarn, hand-wash them with gentle soap and water and lay them flat to dry.

Take a spare jar (maybe from pasta sauce or jam), pour in some bleach, stick in the yarn, and wait. Wait for perhaps 10-15 minutes, and then come back; if the yarn is totally gone and the bleach is milky, it's 100% wool. If the bleach is milky and most of the yarn is gone, it's mostly wool (or another protein fiber) and also some synthetic. TL;DR, if it's a protein fiber (wool, alpaca, angora, qiviut, etc.) it'll dissolve in bleach. 100%, all of it will be gone. If it's only partially protein, only part of the yarn will be gone. But if there's any protein at all in the yarn, it will dissolve and make the bleach milky. Whatever's not protein won't dissolve. **Q: what size crocheting hook do you use** A: In my opinion this yarn is very versatile and can handle many different hook sizes and gauges. For a stiff tight dense fabric I would suggest a 4.0mm and moderate tension, whether working in double crochet or single this size will give you tight precise stitches. For a more draping and airy fabric move up to a 5.00/5.5/6.0mm hook. Since this yarn has so much air in the ply I would use a tighter tension to avoid a loose stitches. I also use a 6.00mm hook for items that will be felted. Keep in mind that the structure of a knit and crochet stitch are not similar, so a larger size hook will be necessary to achieve similar drape than specified on the yarn label. I hope this helps! **Q: I have a pattern that calls for Paton's classic wool yarn. Will I get the same results with this brand, as it is also a worsted weight?** A: The patons “worsted” is pretty thin for a worsted. In my case I wouldn’t call it an even swap. Also check your gauge, that’s the best way to go and adjust your needle size accordingly. Even if you use the same yarn you might not get the same results. **Q: How many skeins?** A: HI, It's for just the one skein. The price is higher because it's wool. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to knit. *by A***N on August 28, 2026* Love this yarn. Very easy to knit with. Soft, not itchy.

The natural color is not white. It is yellow. So, keep it in mind when purchase it. In my opinion, it is good quality yarn. Each roll has great length. One roll was enough to knit half of sweater for myself. I small person and wear a small size cloth. It was pleasant to work with this product. The yarn is not extremely soft but it is very warm. I tested this sweater at -17° F. It feels warm and nice! I spend two and half rolls for my sweater (see pics). I wish the manufacture provides more color. However, I will purchase more brown color for my next knitting project. Updates on Mar. 6,2026: I also used the rest of the brown roll yarn for my new hat. I knitted double layer for hat to make it warmer. If you live in state with cold weather and like to knit this yarn for you! Highly Recommend This Product! ## Frequently Bought Together - Lion Brand Yarn Medium-Weight Fishermen’s Wool Yarn for Knitting, Crocheting, and Crafts, Natural, 1 Pack - Lion Brand Yarn Wool-Ease Yarn, Worsted-Weight Yarn for Knitting and Crocheting, 1 Pack, Linen --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1629227-lion-brand-yarn-medium-weight-fishermen-s-wool-yarn-knitting](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1629227-lion-brand-yarn-medium-weight-fishermen-s-wool-yarn-knitting) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-18*
