The pattern says it used Homespun, what type of yarn is that?
its acrylic. By Lion Brand. I like it. It works up fast.
I dislike it. A lot. :shrug:
Good thing there are a zillion kinds of yarns!
8 oz thick & think [U]handspun[/U] 2-ply (oops, not homespun)
That is what the pattern states for the yarn. I was hoping it would be like the Noro Silk Garden stuff.
I like the sweater and the pattern of the yarn, now if I can figure out how to make it bigger, the pattern only lists a size medium.
Silk Garden isn’t very thick and thin–just a bit.
Look for yarn that has the same gauge listed as the handspun (thank goodness not homespun :teehee:) as a place to get started.
www.yarndex.com is a good place to search.
I was thinking it might be handspun stuff, not a brandname.
