Lion Brand Yarn150-098F Fishermen's Wool Yarn, Natural

the package arrived with only 1 ball of yarn when I was told 3

Lovely yarn, very soft easy to knit. I was very pleased with the results

Si pica un poco. Pero para un suéter está perfecto. El grosor perfecto, la bola de 227 gramos. Color muy bonito como capuchino. La muestra es de acuerdo a las especificaciones pero lo teji con agujas del 4.5 mm. Me pareció más adecuado ya que lo quiero más grueso por el invierno. Lo he comprado en varios tonos y las prendas ya llevan 1 o 2 años y siguen muy bien.

Good price and great texture

I love working with this yarn. I have only used the 100% solid colors though because reviews state that all but one of the tweeds ( maple, I believe -which I can't find) have bits of hard polyester/nylon in them. Although not as tightly would as I like yarn to be, I have not had any colors I have used split at all. The yarn not only works up well, it's actually pretty soft for a 100% wool yarn, and it also felts great as well as takes dye very well. Because it is 100% wool however, I always take any 100% natural animal fiber yarn and place it the warming drawer of my oven and bring it to 130 for an hour or so and then store them in plastic bags after. The heat will ensure there are no moths, larvae or eggs, etc. in them but just to be safe I still bag them after. The only downside to this yarn I can say is the cost here on Amazon. These skeins (solid or tweed) at most run 9.99 just about everywhere else, and occasionally even less when on sale. I purchased these skeins here when they were at 10.00, but now coming back and seeing these and the other Fishermen's yarn costing between 13-18+ dollars per skein is more than I am willing to spend on them. I am not sure why the price got hiked to the point of even nearly doubled? If they drop to 10.00 again I would buy them here, but until then I will buy them elsewhere when needed.

Absolutely love this wool, so soft and great to work with - definitely recommend1
