Homespun Yarn, Soft Bulky Yarn for Knitting, Crocheting, and Crafting, 1 pack, Lagoon

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.

Machine washable, easy to work with, great color choices.

I was looking for a nice color yarn for my crochet creeper and this was perfect! Good shade range of greens and I like the wavy texture too. The 3 pack is just right for the amount I needed. Yarn stays neat without over working it during crocheting, but frays when I use it to stitch over and over during the end of my project.

Good yarn as predicted.

Very soft. Easy to work with. You could use this for just about any project

I was surprised with this yarn. I expected it to be difficult to work with, but it is not. It is acrylic, and has that plasticky feeling of cheap yarn. But it is soft. The best thing about it is the color distribution and how they blend in the knitted object. It is really beautiful. I'm making a shawl that I expect to be able to wear with almost anything, so I picked a very neutral color way. I've got about 15 inches done already and am so pleased. I will use this yarn again. An added note 3 years later: I have used the shawl I made with this for three winters. I still love it. It is warm and still attractive. In fact, I've come back today to order another color way to make up another project. It has pilled some, but because of the colors all mixed close together, the pills don't show unless you go looking for them. Most of my knit and crochet projects I use good wool. But for something that is going to get almost daily use and need cleaning a couple times a season, this is a work-horse yarn. Not bad performance for such a cheap yarn.

I. purchased this yarn to. make winter hat for my grandson. He really likes. it and says it keeps his head warm.

great feel

I love this yarn and have made tops and cowls with it. It looks much more expensive than it is. Excellent quality. Highly recommended.

Die Wolle selbst ist angenehm und war für ich als totalem Anfänger sehr gut zu verstricken. Das Maschenbild ist fehlerverzeihend und dank der Garnstärke hat man auch schnell ein Erfolgserlebnis. Das dicke ABER: die Produktangabe bei Amazon unterscheidet nicht bei der Liefermenge!!! Wenn man für eine konkrete Farbe mehrere Anbieter sieht, dann kann man die Preise erst dann verstehen, wenn man bei jedem einzelnen Anbieter geprüft hat, wie schwer das Knäuel tatsächlich ist. Das ist schon bedenklich nah an Betrug. Soweit ich gesehen habe, gibt es neben den typischen amerikanischen Knäueln von 227 gr. auch noch kleinere mit nur 170 gr. Bei 57 gr. Differenz (also rund -25% gegenüber dem großen Knäuel) kommt man dann schon ins Staunen, wie sich die Preise bilden, insbesondere, da nur kleine Restmengen angeboten wurden, die nicht für ein ernsthaftes Kleidungsstück reichen. Mich hat es bei 6 von 9 Farben erwischt, die gehen wieder zurück - für alle war in der ersten Produktbeschreibung die höhere Liefermenge angegeben. Falls diese Produktbewertung bei allen Anbietern dieser Farbe erscheint - seid aufmerksam.

Second time I have done a knitting project with Lion Brand Homespun yarn. Love the soft feel and the gradations of colour. The yarn can be a little tricky to use as it is twisted and has a "bumpiness" to it, but worth the effort, in my opinion! Works up beautifully into an afghan. I used Lion Brand pattern 60684 "Catch the Wave".

This yarn is very soft and knits up quickly. Good colour.

Hard to find Michaels doesn’t have it anymore
