Hi all,

 

I took Sarah's class and she discussed the Hometown USA yarn, which also is
a super bulky yarn. Unfortunately I can't seem to find the sheet she sent on
this yarn. If some one who took the class has it, would you please email me
privately.

I do remember that Terry has tried this yarn and says it tends to shred, but
I'd like to give it a try sometime because of the wide variety of colors and
because of the inexpensive price. 

 

Here is the info on it I have minus the colors and describtions:
