How the yarn behaves

Lion Brand Homespun is a bulky-weight yarn made primarily from acrylic with a small amount of polyester, with a distinctive single-ply core wrapped by a binder thread for a lightly textured, slightly thick-and-thin bouclé character. The construction gives it a silky-soft hand, a subtle painterly colour movement and a feeling of depth, while remaining easy care. It works up fast for afghans, throws, blankets, shawls, wraps, cosy cardigans and home accents. It is widely used in crochet for textured stitches, though the binder thread can be sensitive to hook tip splits. Care: machine wash and tumble dry; do not bleach. Soft, drapey colours work especially well for blankets.
