Lion Brand Homespun is a wonderful acrylic, Polyster yarn with a textured ripple. It's a chunky weight yarn, but it knits and crochets very lightly and because of the ripple finish, the simplest stitch looks fantastic! A wonderful crochet yarn, this is perfect for blankets and shawls, and there are so many colours to choose from! Solid, classic colours, some beautiful heathered shades and Lion Brand's "painterly" shades, which are variegated blends of colour that subtly self stripe as you knit or crochet. Knits up on 6mm needles or a 6.5mm hook.
