Lion Brand Yarn Hometown Yarn, Super-Bulky Yarn for Knitting, Crocheting, and Crafting, 1 Pack, Houston Cream

This yarn is very soft and seems strong. I got the super bulky weight to use for amigurumi and the color is really vibrant. The size of the skein is just right for what I need and I plan to buy more colors to be able to make more crocheted toys.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Love this yarn. Thick and soft but if you can’t afford to order all you need at once don’t do it. The dye lots are definitely not the same in the same color.

Arrived in a timely fashion. Beautiful color, bulky yarn that works up quickly.

I love this yarn. So soft and silky and heavy weight. And the colors are beautiful...really more than I expected. Using a single crochet, I made a generously sized blanket for a full sized bed. What I accidentally created was a weighted blanket. The thing weighs a ton! I use it on my bed and I've never slept so well. It is very warm...on warmer nights it's too warm so I turn on a fan because I love it so much. It is nearly the perfect blanket yarn for me... Save one thing!IT SHEDS MORE THAN A LARGE DOG IN THE SUMMER!!!And on this point I do not exaggerate! I have washed it according to instructions, rolled it with a lint roller/brush, and done everything I could to minimize the issue to no avail. Actually the shedding began while I was in the early phase of the project and just got worse. My final solution was to pillowcase it between 2 old sheets, and that has minimized the issue. I must emphasize this one point....I love all other things about this yarn and the blanket I created (so much I made one for my daughter who loves it enough to put up with the shedding) with it to over look the insane amount of shedding. Please trust me on the shedding. Other than that one flaw, I would give this yarn an absolute 5 stars!

Great yarn

Great color and easy to crochet with! Size 6Makes great blankets!!!!

The media could not be loaded. I’m so happy with this Lion Brand Hometown Yarn in Pittsburgh Yellow. The bright, warm color adds such a beautiful pop to my paper garlands and craft projects. The super-bulky weight makes it easy to handle and ties nicely without fraying or splitting. It’s exactly what I need to create high-quality, eye-catching decorations. Highly recommend for anyone making handmade garlands or other craft decor!

This yarn is not 100,% wool. The one roll of yarn isn't very much. For projects I'd have to order at least 3-4. Great color and great for making rugs.
