Product Description

Made in America in a New Hampshire mill that has run on hydro-generated power since 1915, Lion Brand Homespun has long been a favorite of knitters and crocheters. Lovely, lofty, and quick to knit or crochet, Homespun is available in dozens of beautifully blended colorways, from heathery tweeds to painterly palettes and makes even the simplest of projects look absolutely stunning. The variegated painterly colors are blended by combining several tones to create magnificent shades and consist of color variations that cause them to subtly stripe. The coordinating heathered solids and tweeds provide a beautiful counterpoint to the impressionistic effect of the multi-toned colors. Homespun's silky feel has made it the yarn of choice for Prayer Shawl groups across the country and knitters and crocheters around the globe love its one-of-a-kind look. Homespun's bulky weight results in a fast finish for sweaters and afghans and its wash-and-wear care makes it ideal for almost any project.

Customer Reviews

Beautiful colors!
I am using this yarn at this time to make a lap afghan. The crocheted multi-colored yarn
is going to make a beautiful piece to go on my sofa. The yarn is also a great blend and
easy to handle while I crochet.
