Homespun Yarn
Love this soft bulky yarn for crochet projects for different interesting intense color marbling or striping pattern. Have used it for wearables and also Afghans. This particular color is one of my top favorites with the rich blue and purple blend.

Beautiful colors
I really love Homespun yarn. This is the first time I have ordered this color. I had to order it having not seen it in person, due to the covid and not wanting to go to stores in person. I was not disappointed. It is beautiful blue/purple and creates beautiful... not quite stripes, but beautiful differences in colour when it is worked up. This yarn has a different texture than many, so you have to find the right pattern or it is difficult to work with. My favourite is knitting garter stitch, just knitting each row. Don't try to do a fancy edge, as it looks better if you don't do a slip1 at the beginning of the rows, as I often do when knitting. The blue in this matches nicely with the color Montana Sky, and I'm currently working on a blanket with stripes of each. It's beautiful.
