Review: Fantastic yarn - So happy to buy this yarn again for a little less price, very very very love this natural wool quality, super worm and soft and durable. It is really good yarn for the very good price. And some important- is this brand makes A natural colors, which is absolutely useful in hunting/camping gear sweaters.
Review: Good wool. Good value. Has substance. Not soft enough for most people’s ‘neck test’. Works for me. - Great for classic Aran cable work and textures. . Consistency, quality and value bring Real Wool possibilities to anyone, you can feel and smell lanolin, which I love. Good for sweaters worn over a shirt, blankets, outerwear, and for me… next to skin works! It will felt. Not super wash treated. Hand wash and block. Tepid water in a sink, tub, tote, a bit of shampoo and conditioner and a soak and rinse without stretching or agitating. Lay out on layered towels, roll up. Walk on it to squeeze out water. Lay out on dry towels and shape it how it should be shaped. Let dry. YouTube it. Easier than it sounds. Very worthwhile. But don’t expect a giftee to succeed in that. This is a good “ToMeForMefromMe” present as my mother says. Yummy wool. Thank you Lion. Probably a good learning yarn. Elastic and comes light colored for easy visibility needed to learn. And economical.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this or is this not absolutely 100% wool with NO other fibers in it? ? ?**
A: A simple test is to take some plain bleach (which is one of the ONLY tests that is guaranteed to give you results 100% of the time) and snip off a small bit of the yarn. Take a spare jar (maybe from pasta sauce or jam), pour in some bleach, stick in the yarn, and wait. Wait for perhaps 10-15 minutes, and then come back; if the yarn is totally gone and the bleach is milky, it's 100% wool. If the bleach is milky and most of the yarn is gone, it's mostly wool (or another protein fiber) and also some synthetic. 
TL;DR, if it's a protein fiber (wool, alpaca, angora, qiviut, etc.) it'll dissolve in bleach. 100%, all of it will be gone. If it's only partially protein, only part of the yarn will be gone. But if there's any protein at all in the yarn, it will dissolve and make the bleach milky. Whatever's not protein won't dissolve.

**Q: what size crocheting hook do you use**
A: In my opinion this yarn is very versatile and can handle many different hook sizes and gauges. For a stiff tight dense fabric I would suggest a 4.0mm and moderate tension, whether working in double crochet or single this size will give you tight precise stitches. For a more draping and airy fabric move up to a 5.00/5.5/6.0mm hook. Since this yarn has so much air in the ply I would use a tighter tension to avoid a loose stitches. I also use a 6.00mm hook for items that will be felted. Keep in mind that the structure of a knit and crochet stitch are not similar, so a larger size hook will be necessary to achieve similar drape than specified on the yarn label. I hope this helps!

**Q: I have a pattern that calls for Paton's classic wool yarn. Will I get the same results with this brand, as it is also a worsted weight?**
A: The patons “worsted” is pretty thin for a worsted. In my case I wouldn’t call it an even swap. Also check your gauge, that’s the best way to go and adjust your needle size accordingly. Even if you use the same yarn you might not get the same results.

**Q: How many skeins?**
A: HI, It's for just the one skein. The price is higher because it's wool.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect and a lot of yarn.
*by J***S on December 27, 2025*

I love this yarn. I made makeup bags for all my friends this year and used this for a few bags. I plan on getting a LOT of this yarn and color specifically to knit a blanket this year. Highly recommend and it is 100% wool so just be aware it won’t be as soft as acrylics.
