Customer Reviews

Excellent crochet patterns
I have found homespun difficult to crochet with in the past. These patterns seem well designed to eliminate the difficulty.

Homespun History
I use a lot of Lion Brand Homespun yarn and I thought this book would help me know more about it. I wasn't disappointed. It's a very interesting read. I shared it with our prayer shawl group at our church. It's now being passed around. I especially found the making of the different colors very interesting.
