I absolutely love crocheting with wool yarn. The higher the percentage of wool in a yarn the more I love working with it but with that higher percentage can also come a higher price tag.
Lion Brand Wool Ease Yarn is a nice yarn option that contains wool. The fiber content of Wool Ease Yarn is 80% Acrylic and 20% Wool.
This yarn is one that can also be machine washed and machine dried. Temperature should not exceed 105F when machine washing.
More about Lion Brand Wool Ease Yarn
Wool Ease is a worsted weight #4 yarn and is a 4-ply yarn. The ply of a yarn just indicates how many smaller strands are twisted together to create the yarn.
Other words that are also used to describe this yarn weight category are Aran and Afghan. Worsted weight yarn will typically lean towards creating a thicker fabric when worked up.
This line of yarn also has some great color options, over 27 colors to choose from. The yardage ranges from 180-197 yards per skein.
One other yarn that is also 80% Acrylic, 20% Wool that you may like to try is We Crochet Mighty Stitch. This is also a great affordable yarn with wool in its fiber content. It does have a softer feel than LB Wool Ease.
What projects can be made using Wool Ease yarn?
So many crochet items can be made with this yarn. I definitely love using any wool yarn for wearable items such as hats, scarves, cowls and garments.
This yarn would also work well for some home decor items such as blankets, wall hangings and baskets.
