Homespun yarn usually sells for under six dollars per skein at Michael's or Jo-Ann's; this ($10) is a ridiculous price. On sale, it goes for $4-5. I have used the yarn a lot, and love how it feels after it is worked up, and it has an amazing range of colors.

I've used this yarn to crochet afghans and for making a coat with my Ultimate Knitting Machine. This is not a good yarn for the knitting machine, because it often gets caught on the needles. It is a bulky yarn which works up quickly, so if you want a quick project, this will do it. However, I warn that beginners should start with a different variety of yarn. It's difficult to see the stitches in this yarn, so I often had to work by feel.
The yarn is soft right out of the skein. The colors are rich. The projects always turn out beautifully. The only problem with it is the ends unravel. Do not use it in a fringe or anywhere else the ends will be exposed. I've read once that the ends of Homespun yarn needs to be knotted to make the fringe, but I think that looks awful, too.
PROS:
+ soft and silky to touch
+ bulky weight makes quick projects
+ gorgeous colors
CONS:
- difficult to see stitches, not recommended for beginners
- exposed ends unravel
I think this is a very nice yarn. The only reason I don't use it more often is that it's so popular that people recognize it the minute they see it. I like my yarn to be a little more mysterious. Regardless, it makes beautiful afghans.

UPDATE: Try combining this with Homespun Golden, Chili, Russet, Bourbon, Apple Green, Herb Garden and Wild Fire. It's colorful, but looks great together.

Color Name:Waterfall
I love this yarn but it is terribly over-priced. You can buy it in a craft store or department store for half what amazon is asking for it. Come on Amazon! I usually go to Amazon for good deals but this is ridiculous!

Price totally off line!!!
The pricing of this yarn is totally off line. Not even the manufacture Lion Brand charges more than $7.49 per skein. Knock off $10!!! Don't cheat people with your greediness.

3 stars for the yarn - zero stars for the price!
That is an outrageous price for this yarn, which is widely available at craft stores, and with 40% off coupons there is never any reason for paying more than a few dollars per... Read more
