Customer Reviews
Bought this wool to continue working on family gifts. Lovely wool for Aran style blankets at a reasonable price.
I’ve been wanting to try this wool for a long while, but was hesitant about an allergic response and the scratch value of most wools. I’m glad I purchased this! Though it is a bit scratchy, I have not reacted too much while wearing the scarf I made. I especially like it to make adorable and classy little cutlery pouches to decorate my daughter’s holiday table! I loooove the colors (I bought natural and brown).
This was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a 100% wool sweater at a reasonable cost. Worked up easily and quickly!
Unlike most white yarns this one DOES felt,
I was a little (okay maybe a lot) concerned to try crocheting my first felted hat. It was really easy. I went online and ordered Lion Brand Fisherman's Wool Birch Tweed and it crocheted beautifully. Easy to work with; no unexpected knots; tight enough twist that my hook went where it was supposed to and did not split the yarn. True to the advertising it felted beautifully. I also purchased Fisherman's Wool Brown Heather and I'm going to knit a floppy brim hat. Would definitely recommend for the beginner or advanced crafter.
I've been buying this yarn for years, lost a resource for a few years and am so glad to find one again. I love the yarn because of its
feel (so soft!) and how much there is on a skein. It's a great value, and when I find a sale I gobble it up. I do a lot of knitting and
felting (fulling) of bags and I've done several with the darker yarns but now I'm about to try some dyeing - primarily indigo, hand-
painting, and ice-dyeing - on the white yarn. This yarn felts beautifully and I'm looking forward to creating my own custom dye
colors and knitting with them.
