Fun Easy Crafts: Lamb's Pride Yarns

Fun Easy Crafts: Lamb's Pride Yarns

Knitting is becoming very popular as one of the fun easy crafts. It is not only "Grannies" that are knitting any more. So, because knitting has become one of the fun easy crafts, here is some information about yarn, an essential part of knitting!

Using the right yarn is crucial to any knitting project. It can truly make or break your blanket, sweater, scarf, or any other project. Sure, you can find low prices in any department store, but if you're looking for quality, chances are those off-brands just won't cut it.


Lamb's Pride wool yarns offer high quality at prices that won't bust your budget. They're available in two weights: Worsted and Bulky.

1. Lamb's Pride Worsted

Worsted is a single ply yarn that comes in a wide variety of colors. It's great for felting, and produces a nice, refined look. It's designed to have good stitch definition, so it's great for projects which require that, such as rugs, blankets and cable knit sweaters. It is also resistant to splitting and knotting, making knitting much easier.

2. Lamb's Pride Bulky

The Bulky yarn has a small amount of mohair mixed in, which produces a greater thickness. Also available in lots of colors, it works well for hats and mittens. Its texture tends to get fuzzier with time, and some knitters (and wearers) do not like that. But its heavy weight makes it ideal for clothing to be worn in the coldest of weather.

Lamb's Pride yarns are recyclable, making them a great choice for the environmentally conscious knitter. They're also made in the United States, so American knitters can be assured that they're supporting their nation's economy when they buy them. These facts, combined with Lamb's Pride's great quality and large selection of colors, make it a great choice for many projects.
