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

I use woolies Thick and Quick a lot and Home town, but it splits a lot but
has some pretty colors.

Just have to get used to it!

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

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
