[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Lion-Brand Homespun yarn

[Cathy Flesher]

Hi Sarah,

I happen to love to knit with the Homespun yarn. It is so soft and has a nice nubby texture. I made a cozy warm shawl with a button closure and it was fancy enough for church. I also knitted a hooded scarf which also came out great.
One tip I have for you is not to use needles with sharp tips. They can get stuck in the twist of the yarn. My bamboo needles work great with this yarn. I like the candy apple and jewel tone vareigated yarns.

Good luck with your project. Let us know how it is coming along.

Btw, I sent you a welcome message as treasurer of this division, did you receive it? I am having some difficulty sending from my treasurers account. 


May God bless you.
 Cathy F

One tip I have is not to use needles with sharp tips, such as steel needles. My bambo needles work great and do not catch in the yarn. 

Have fun and let us know how it turns out.

Btw, I sent you a welcome message from myself, treasurer and hope you got it. I am having some difficulty with my outlook program lately.
