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

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.

This is the softest most beautiful yarn. Great for a baby afghan.

I love Lion Brand Yarn! I have bought many Homespun beautiful colors and a lot to choose from just depends on what you want to make!

Super soft! I love the color and the texture is delightful. I haven't used it for any projects yet, but I'm looking forward to working it up!

Love this yarn makes great blankets that are weighted and warm. Knitted 3 so far. Would 100 percent get this yarn for another blanket great value for the quality blanket i was able to make from them. Idk if yarn is quite a #5 for sure a 4 most times but yes. For sure enjoy them.

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.

This is a nice textured yarn and easy way to manage. The colors are beautiful. It’s a bit expensive, though.

Nice yarn. Did not come all tangled like the same one I bought at the craft store.

I Love this yarn. I made my daughter's hat and scarf out of this yarn (and the grey one Edwards too). Very warm, and very easy to work with. The seller (Supermart) did a great job shipping as well. In proper packaging, and it was fast. I am very impressed. Will be purchasing again! <3

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
