I have purchased 3 skeins of this yarn recently. I bought it to make dryer balls to use instead of dryer sheets. I also made them for my daughter and daughter-in-law. This yarn is not 100% wool, but it made great dryer balls. I've been using the ones I made for myself for a couple months and they've not unraveled at all.
After I had wound them into balls, I used small, pointed scissors to poke the end way down inside the ball. I then put them into a knee-high nylon, tying a knot between each ball. I put them in a pot and poured boiling water over them. Them put them in the pot onto the stove and brought them to a boil on the stove. I turned off the stove and let them sit in the pot until the water was cool.
I then washed them with a load of towels in hot water and dried them in the drier. I repeated this once more, let them sit for awhile and then cut away the nylon stocking. They are completely felted and work great.

Yarn 101: How to Choose the Right Yarn for Your Project
Yarn is perhaps the most essential component of knitting and crocheting–so how do you know which one is right for your special project?
Here are some quick and easy tips to get you started:
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|
Fiber ContentThe fiber content of the yarn that's right for your project will likely be determined by its end use. Wool and silk yarns are great for warmth–think sweaters, scarves and blankets. Use cotton yarns for durability–great for fashion accessories, window treatments, and home décor accents. |
TextureA good rule of thumb is the more ornate the yarn, the simpler your project’s pattern or shape should be. Novelty yarns like boucle, marled, or variegated are perfect for shawls and blankets whereas more classic, plain varieties like smooth plied yarn are great for more stitching techniques. |
WeightCategorized by the thickness of the thread, yarn weights range from 0 to 7 or “lace” to “jumbo”. Use lighter weights (0-2) for socks and delicate baby apparel. Medium weights (3-4) are great for sweaters, scarves and light outerwear. Heavier weights (5-7) for best suited for blankets and rugs. |

I wear this right around my neck, and while I isn’t baby soft, its not scratchy to me personally, but may be for others.
The double knit with a single strand of this yarn gives the scarf a thick and squishy feel but airy at the same time and not too heavy or bulky.
The value for this much yardage in one skein is excellent.
I am definitely going to by more and make myself a loom knitted poncho. I just love the thick and airy, but warm without being heavy, that the double knit gives it. It’s perfect for loom knitting. I can’t wait to try making cables with it.

Love this yarn for loom knitting! Especially for double knits.

I double knitted this button neck warmer/cowl/scarf using a KB All-In-one knitting loom. The Fisherman’s Wool is wonderful, it has a stretch and characters that I haven’t found in acrylic yarns.Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2019
