Is this or is this not absolutely 100% wool with NO other fibers in it? ? ?

A simple test is to take some plain bleach (which is one of the ONLY tests that is guaranteed to give you results 100% of the time) and snip off a small bit of the yarn. Take a spare jar (maybe from pasta sauce or jam), pour in some bleach, stick in the yarn, and wait. Wait for perhaps 10-15 minutes, and then come back; if the yarn is totally gone and the bleach is milky, it's 100% wool. If the bleach is milky and most of the yarn is gone, it's mostly wool (or another protein fiber) and also some synthetic. TL;DR, if it's a protein fiber (wool, alpaca, angora, qiviut, etc.) it'll dissolve in bleach. 100%, all of it will be gone. If it's only partially protein, only part of the yarn will be gone. But if there's any protein at all in the yarn, it will dissolve and make the bleach milky. Whatever's not protein won't dissolve.

what size crocheting hook do you use

In my opinion this yarn is very versatile and can handle many different hook sizes and gauges. For a stiff tight dense fabric I would suggest a 4.0mm and moderate tension, whether working in double crochet or single this size will give you tight precise stitches. For a more draping and airy fabric move up to a 5.00/5.5/6.0mm hook. Since this yarn has so much air in the ply I would use a tighter tension to avoid a loose stitches. I also use a 6.00mm hook for items that will be felted. Keep in mind that the structure of a knit and crochet stitch are not similar, so a larger size hook will be necessary to achieve similar drape than specified on the yarn label. I hope this helps!

I have a pattern that calls for Paton's classic wool yarn. Will I get the same results with this brand, as it is also a worsted weight?

The patons “worsted” is pretty thin for a worsted. In my case I wouldn’t call it an even swap. Also check your gauge, that’s the best way to go and adjust your needle size accordingly. Even if you use the same yarn you might not get the same results.

HI, It's for just the one skein. The price is higher because it's wool.

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

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

Good robust wool. Reasonably soft but not like merino obviously. Great for outerwear sweaters and jackets. Knits well on a 6mm needle as well as the recommended 5.5mm
