I recently bought a skein of the Lion brand Wool Ease Chunky yarn in a charcoal gray color to knit a pair of gloves. This yarn in 80% acrylic, 20% wool. This was my first time trying this type of yarn from Lion Brand, and i must say, I am VERY impressed! The yarn was thick and strong. I easily knitted my project. The stitches were clear and easy to see and the finished product was very warm and not at all scratchy, like some wool yarns can be. And its machine washable and dry-able with minimum shrinkage. I do a cold water wash and a cool dry and it seems to do the trick. Next, I'm gonna knit up a pair of socks! It's mighty cold here in Boston in the winter, and I'm sure this yarn will come in handy!

Comments about Lillydot’s Review

I've never tried yarn with any wool content because I worried it would shrink too much. Sounds like if you take care with it, that it does fine. Now I want to try it. :)

This yarn sounds great. Most acrylic yarn I've seen is blended with polyester. I'm intrigued by the wool content. I agree that most wool is too itchy, though I love using natural fibers. Thanks for your review :)
