[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Lion Brand yarn, and crochet patterns

[Debra Trevino]

Hi Tracy,

I have not used the Lion yarns you mentioned though I have used others in their brand. I can't speak to pilling but the yarn moves nicely through your fingers. I have used Homespun and WoolEase Thick and Quick.

Blessings,

Deb Trevino

Subject: [NFB-Blind-Crafters] Lion Brand yarn, and crochet patterns

Has anyone worked with Lion Brand yarns?  Two of their lines are Heartland and Basic Stitch no pilling.
I just wonder if they feel nice and are nice to work with.  I don't think I've ever gotten any, but I've gotten on their email list and some of their pattern kits sound nice.
I've looked at a couple crochet kits that use 2 colors.  People have said before that crochet always written, not pesky charts.  Is that true for multi-color projects?

BTW, I've looked at some of their knit projects, and they say the patterns have written instructions for all charts, which is very nice.  And I remember that Lion Brand used to offer braille patterns, though that was a while ago.  Of course now patterns are digital anyway.instructions are almost
Thanks.
Tracy
