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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐ does not come in pack of 3 *by on Reviewed in the United Arab Emirates 25 November 2019* the package arrived with only 1 ball of yarn when I was told 3 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Value for money but must be a wool lover *by on Reviewed in Australia 3 August 2023* This is excellent value for money but honestly you need to be a wool lover the yarn is a truly beautiful colour and the weight of the yarn is very versatile but it’s not so soft I bought it and I have yet to find a project to match it because it’s just not soft so sorry to say Lionbrand is my favourite brand but this one is in the too hard basket ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good pure wool yarn *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 25 August 2025* Good robust wool. Reasonably soft but not like merino obviously. Great for outerwear sweaters and jackets. Knits well on a 6mm needle as well as the recommended 5.5mm ## Frequently Bought Together - Lion Brand Yarn Fishermen's Wool Yarn, Oatmeal - Hekisn Large-Eye Blunt Needles, Stainless Steel Yarn Knitting Needles, Sewing Needles, Crafting Knitting Weaving Stringing Needles,Perfect for Finishing Off Crochet Projects (9 Pieces) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/205938686-lion-brand-yarn-150-123e-fishermens-wool-yarn-oatmeal-worsted](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/205938686-lion-brand-yarn-150-123e-fishermens-wool-yarn-oatmeal-worsted) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-02*
