Lion Brand Yarn Wool-Ease Thick & Quick Bonus Bundle Yarn, Antique

I'm making hats for the homeless and this bulky yarn knits up quick. I am not a fan of acrylic yarns but it has a bit of wool in it. It has the Lion Brand quality that I appreciate; very few if any factory joins in each skein and I've bought several and have yet to have a tangle as with some other brands.It's a great yarn to work up quick hats, scarves, hand warmers with size 9mm (US 11)knitting needles.

It’s a really soft and cuddly yarn, but it sheds like crazy! Made me sneeze a lot while working with it. I’ve washed it few times and it still sheds! It’s nice that I can wash it in a normal cycle in warm water and dry it in the normal cycle as well. Read all the reviews and only few people mentioned about it shedding. Now I’m embarrassed to give it as a gift. It’s too bad b.c I really like how soft and warm it is.

This is the first time I have made a twin blanket from this product. It is wonderful to crochet with. Even the black (or heather type black) was fairly easy to crochet a simple half-double stitch blanket. I knew it would be a "winter" type blanket, but had no idea it would end up being so very heavy! I'm not disappointed in it though. It is almost like the "weighted blankets" that are being advertised to relax a person and soothe them. I am really amazed at the weight after only 1/3 of the blanket done. If you're looking for this type of heavy duty blanket, I used an "L" crochet hook - slightly smaller than the recommended "N", this yarn will give you what you want and is easy and fast to work up. I wouldn't recommend this for a baby blanket even in cold weather due to the weight. Otherwise, I'm thrilled and will order a lighter color next time to see the stitches better.

I loved crocheting with this product and was able to make five beautiful slouch hats with the bundle package. The ladies I made the hats for are still complimenting me about how soft and warm and comfortable the finished hats are, plus all the compliments they have received about the hats I crocheted for them. More orders coming in for more colors. I usually sell my crocheted hats for $12 to $21 each. But with this beautiful washable wool blend, my hats are selling for $38 each. Happy customer!

The yarn is thick and soft. I love the bigger bundle. It just lets you keep moving through your project. The tangerine color is quite pretty. It is a great color for a fall cowl!

I bought 9 skeins in the oatmeal color. At first I loved this yarn because it is soft and thick and I believed that it would make a beautiful blanket. I was soon disappointed because this yarn sheds like crazy. The fibers are itchy and make you sneeze. I actually have to vacuum my couch because it’s covered. Most of the skeins had several knots in them which sort of defeats the whole purpose of the larger size skein. The yarn does show stitch definition really well, but the blanket is covered in fuzz. The picture doesn’t really show it very well, but I would be embarrassed to give this as a gift. I don’t know about the other colors, but skip the oatmeal.

Made scarf and hat for my daughter and she loved them. Very easy to work with and very soft. Love that it's machine washable/dryable.

I love this yarn but this color is horrible. It is a grayish purple with splotchy spots of what looks to be dried mustard. Recommend this yarn but not this color.

Nice chunky wool, I had no idea what size it would be as I’m no wool expert. Lovely natural colour and feel. If you are after “chunky” wool you might want to look elsewhere but this is quick and can imagine it would knit a treat. A bit expensive as it is not wool but I really liked it

Nothing to do with the seller, I just found this wool to be quite scratchy. Knitted a scarf with it for my niece and she’s happy with it, so perhaps it’s just not suitable for me.

Fabulous wool.I have knitted a throw with this ,along with contrasting colours.It knits up beautifully and looks very impressive.I would definitely order this again.Delivery was quite quick too.

I don't like the way it looks after a few wears - all scuffed up and needing a shave. Won't buy this again

A scarf. Very attractive colours, good quality and soft
