Katie - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lion Brand Yarn 630-152A Wool-Ease Chunky Yarn, Charcoal (Kitchen)

This yarn is soft, but strong and because of the larger size, it's super fast to work with. The strands stay together really well, unlike some yarns where you find yourself catching/snagging on half the strand or in places that you don't want to be. One review mentioned a glittery string, and I think that may only be in a few select colors, as mine didn't have that and many of the colors I've seen in stores didn't either. Love it, great for making hats and stuff like that. As one review said, it is probably cheaper to drive to the store and buy it though, if you can find it there.

This review is from: Lion Brand Yarn 630-153 Wool-Ease Chunky Yarn, Black (Kitchen)

Very good. Very warm, as well. There was a discrepancy from the yarn and my pattern on what size needles to use. I used a size down from the yarn's suggestion and was fine.

Yarn Squirrel "melsee" (Huntsville, AL, USA!) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lion Brand Yarn 630-144K Wool-Ease Chunky Yarn, Eggplant (Kitchen)

This yarn is a great compromise for those of us who prefer wool for it's warmth...but need to use acrylic for its ease of care. This yarn is the perfect choice for me for afghans for children - the wool is necessary for warmth and the acrylic is necessary for the washability. It shows great stitch definition and has nice "heft". There's nothing wimpy about this yarn.

One thing though, unless you order only one skein, it's overpriced here at amazon (which surprises me). Even with shipping, it's less expensive to order directly from lionbrand.com, even when it's not on sale. Sorry amazon.
