Review on 🧢 Lion Brand Yarn - Homespun Yarn in Malachite Shade 790-440 by Kristen Reid

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very good!

I have a love/hate relationship with this yarn. My first experience was crocheting a blanket. It was quite difficult to slide the hook in and out smoothly for each stitch as it has a tendency to "hook" so the project was time consuming. And yet the yarn is so soft, even if it is a bit expensive. Since then I've found that it's a lot easier to knit (I've made a lot of hats and scarves with big needles) so I decided to try the same afghan crochet pattern as originally, only with a bigger crochet hook. Although I still had some problems, everything went so well that I made 3 in Christmas colors for the grandchildren. They love the softness and warmth of completed projects!

Pros
  • Knitting and crocheting
Cons
  • Not sure
