Lion Brand Yarn Heartland Yarn, Worsted-Weight Yarn for Knitting, Crocheting, and Crafting, 1 Pack, Great Smoky Mountains

This Heartland yarn is soft, fluffy, and beautiful to work with. It does not cling to itself, so frogging is not a problem. I have used it before, so I know that garments made with this yarn hold up very well. The yarn is a thick 4 weight, substantial and well-suited for cardigan or jacket sweaters.This particular color is a soft grey, with some slight variegation to a darker grey. I love that each yarn color is named for the national parks in the United States. I used some of this yarn to make a souvenir afghan for a friend, with the colors from every national park she has visited. They are all beautiful.

This yarn is super soft and easy to work with! It was perfect for knitting a cozy sweater! The colors are true to the pictures, I used Sequoia and Yosemite for this project

Nice yarn! Making a knitted cowl with this. Easy to work with. I would definitely buy more of yarn.

Soft, doesn’t separate and works up well defined stitches. Seems to wash and dry well without a lot of pilling. Rarely on sale, so I refilled my stash while it was.

Love this yarn! Soft and easy to use.

Pretty yarn. I'm new to knitting but a friend recommend this as a good acrylic yarn to start with and I agree. It's soft and easy to work with. I was a bit surprised by the color of wolf trap. There were two different pics so I thought it might be a more cream, off while color, maybe tan. But turns out it's a pinkish lavender color, kind of lilac. It's pretty, but more pastel pink/purple than what I was looking for, so something to be aware of for for the color. To me wolf trap does nothing to help figure out what a color is and the pics weren't helpful either. I also ordered acadia and really like the vanilla cream color of it, sharing in case you are looking for something along those lines.

Beautiful shade of green, great quality!My sister is making a very nice mini sweatwr for her grandchild...

I purchased a number of colors of this yarn but did my test scarf in Cuyahoga Valley. It is a lovely deep teal color with touches of lighter teal running throughout. The overall effect is one of a very subtle tweed.The skein is 251 yards for five ounces of acrylic yarn. It states that it is a worsted weight 4. I've seen a lot of variance in worsted weight yarns and I would certainly call this one a lighter worsted weight. The skein suggest a J 10 (6mm) hook but I found that an H (5mm) worked best for me.I always test a new yarn by crocheting a standard scarf. That gives me the opportunity to experience the feel of the yarn and to compare it against other yarns that I have likewise tested. I use a half-double crochet as it gives a good body to the material and still leaves it soft enough for comfort.For this scarf, as I had a lot of yardage, I choose to do a chain 14 (two for a turning chain), turn, half double crochet in 12, chain two turn, and repeat until the scarf was 72 inches long. In most worsted weight scarves, my scarf is around 4 inches wide. With this yarn, it ended up 3 inches wide by 72 inches long with a considerable amount of yarn left over (which I could and may use to make a fringe for the scarf.)I liked the way the yarn felt in my hand. It was smooth and silky and the yarn pulled easily from the center. I didn't have any knots but I did have three spots where the yarn appeared slightly frayed. Those spots end well within my crochet but would have been apparent if I had knit with the skein. Because of the fraying, I would give this yarn a 4.5 stars if it were possible. As it is not, I round up (as always) to a 5.I like the yarn a lot and will be making a number of projects using it. I had hoped for a full worsted weight yarn for some Celtic-inspired projects but I don't think it is quite thick enough.
