I was asked to knit a giant scarf by someone who doesn't knit. She told me what she had in mind, but had no idea how to proceed. Lion Brand Hometown USA super chunky was ideal for this project - the scarf was to be 20" wide and 10' long!! Thankfully it was knitted in large knitting needles (12mm). The finished article was just what she had in mind - thankfully! This particular yarn is beautifully soft, knits up very nicely, can be washed in the washing machine
Nice yarn to work with. I tried a sweater pattern with it. Would probably up the needle size. I think I’ll try hats, mitts and slippers next time. Maybe a blanket although it would get pretty heavy as the sweater did. Nice colours, nice to work with.
Easy to work with, looks great knitted, knife and soft. Bit of a shine to it so good for certain projects wanting a little of that. Used for Xmas stockings and was great.
Made great hats and neckwarmers and were loved by all who received them. Easy with which to work on number 13 needles!!!!
It is fumn to knit the Lion Brand chunky wiool and ease yarn, gives me so much satisfaction to see my finish product. I am not an expert knitter but I get praise for my work like an expert knitter.
My personal favourite, knitted up beautifully despite my physical difficulties and the colour is fabulous.
Quick and easy to work, even if you frog it a dozen times trying to master the skill!
This is wonderful yarn and represented most of my choices for a complicated afghan.
Lovely thick cosy wool. Knits up quick. Made a lovely baby blanket with it.
Beautiful yarn. Extremely soft , perfect for the baby blanket project. The colour, San Diego Navy was really lovely
