Lion Brand Yarn Medium-Weight Fishermen’s Wool Yarn for Knitting, Crocheting, and Crafts, Natural, 1 Pack

Great for classic Aran cable work and textures. . Consistency, quality and value bring Real Wool possibilities to anyone, you can feel and smell lanolin, which I love. Good for sweaters worn over a shirt, blankets, outerwear, and for me… next to skin works! It will felt. Not super wash treated. Hand wash and block. Tepid water in a sink, tub, tote, a bit of shampoo and conditioner and a soak and rinse without stretching or agitating. Lay out on layered towels, roll up. Walk on it to squeeze out water. Lay out on dry towels and shape it how it should be shaped. Let dry. YouTube it. Easier than it sounds. Very worthwhile. But don’t expect a giftee to succeed in that. This is a good “ToMeForMefromMe” present as my mother says. Yummy wool. Thank you Lion. Probably a good learning yarn. Elastic and comes light colored for easy visibility needed to learn. And economical.

I purchased two brown and two natural yarns. The natural color is not white. It is yellow. So, keep it in mind when purchase it. In my opinion, it is good quality yarn. Each roll has great length. One roll was enough to knit half of sweater for myself. I small person and wear a small size cloth. It was pleasant to work with this product. The yarn is not extremely soft but it is very warm. I tested this sweater at -17° F. It feels warm and nice! I spend two and half rolls for my sweater (see pics). I wish the manufacture provides more color. However, I will purchase more brown color for my next knitting project. Updates on Mar. 6,2026: I also used the rest of the brown roll yarn for my new hat. I knitted double layer for hat to make it warmer. If you live in state with cold weather and like to knit this yarn for you! Highly Recommend This Product!

Just love this yarn! The sweater (large size) took only under 4 skeins! It is very soft and extremely warm!

So happy to buy this yarn again for a little less price, very very very love this natural wool quality, super worm and soft and durable. It is really good yarn for the very good price. And some important- is this brand makes A natural colors, which is absolutely useful in hunting/camping gear sweaters.

I love working with this yarn. I have only used the 100% solid colors though because reviews state that all but one of the tweeds ( maple, I believe -which I can't find) have bits of hard polyester/nylon in them. Although not as tightly would as I like yarn to be, I have not had any colors I have used split at all. The yarn not only works up well, it's actually pretty soft for a 100% wool yarn, and it also felts great as well as takes dye very well. Because it is 100% wool however, I always take any 100% natural animal fiber yarn and place it the warming drawer of my oven and bring it to 130 for an hour or so and then store them in plastic bags after. The heat will ensure there are no moths, larvae or eggs, etc. in them but just to be safe I still bag them after. The only downside to this yarn I can say is the cost here on Amazon. These skeins (solid or tweed) at most run 9.99 just about everywhere else, and occasionally even less when on sale. I purchased these skeins here when they were at 10.00, but now coming back and seeing these and the other Fishermen's yarn costing between 13-18+ dollars per skein is more than I am willing to spend on them. I am not sure why the price got hiked to the point of even nearly doubled? If they drop to 10.00 again I would buy them here, but until then I will buy them elsewhere when needed.

Good quality, beautiful color. A slight chemical smell but it will probably go after a first washing. Yarn is soft but sometimes you can find a very hard hair that could be prickly. I wouldn’t recommend it for knitting any baby clothes. Also this yarn might be hard for beginners.

Decent quality for the price. Kind of scratchy but easy to knit and perfect for felting. I knitted a double strand, pulling from the outside and center at the same time, with no tangles.

I see a lot of complaints about this yarn around the internet. It seems to me those complaints are short-sighted. Does it have issues like occasional odd threads of this and that that need to be pulled out? Yes. Is it Aran weight? No. But the positives far outweigh the negatives: 1. It's 100% wool yarn. I refuse to spend weeks/months on an item that's made out of synthetic yarn. I've lived long enough to discover that wool holds up far better over time than any synthetic fiber. Plus, I don't like the smell of synthetics. (I will use some blended wool when making things for children, for ease of washing.) 2. It's extremely affordable. I found a car coat pattern I really liked. If I'd try buying Rowan or Brooklyn Tweed, even Cascaade or Istex, I'd easily have spent $150 to $200, possibly more. With the Fishermen's I got enough yarn for the whole coat for $80, and that's with the necessary doubling to get the proper weight for the stitch gauge. 3. Bonus: After washing and blocking, I Love the slight felting that occurs. It closes up spaces in the stitch pattern and makes the fabric even warmer. Would I like to have an unlimited yarn budget to get the fancy yarn? Sure, who wouldn't? But what I have found is an affordable wool yarn that now enables me to consider large projects that before I'd have to reject due to cost considerations. Oh, one more thing. I'm a life-long buyer of textiles of all kinds - thread, yarn, fabric, etc. And I have always appreciated India's textile products. Seeing that this yarn is made in India makes me love it all the more.

Prachtige wol. Alleen jammer dat ik 2 verschillende verfbaden krijg.

the package arrived with only 1 ball of yarn when I was told 3

Helpful notes to the interested: Careful when washing, tends to felt if over handled or washed in anything but COLD water. However, it you WANT felt, this would be a decent yarn to use, I would imagine. Love this yarn. I have the Oatmeal which is like a linen colour, the original stock (90% wool from India) Birch Tweed (before the redux Birch Tweed (75% wool) which I do not recommend because it has tiny plastic strands in the wool, not good). Last and most recent, this OAK TWEED, which is more cream than brown when it knits up. Very tweed looking, VERY reminiscent of a birch forest. Wool still has that woolly scent of lanolin to it and it is soft (not coarse) to the touch-easily worn next to skin or over thin cotton shirt. COZY, COZY, C O Z Y ! Knit with TWO strands of the OAK TWEED (yep, two balls at the same time) to get a plush and super cozy knitwear garment or item.

This is excellent value for money but honestly you need to be a wool lover the yarn is a truly beautiful colour and the weight of the yarn is very versatile but it’s not so soft I bought it and I have yet to find a project to match it because it’s just not soft so sorry to say Lionbrand is my favourite brand but this one is in the too hard basket
