Expected
I have used Homespun a lot, and it is notoriously inconsistent. This particular batch is somewhat thicker than usual, and results in a somewhat smaller than desired finished product. Also one skein had several knots, which is less common. Overall, I use it because it suits my purpose, and am aware of the issues.

Love this yarn, pretty color
I love working with this yarn. Some patterns are hard due to the texture of the yarn, but knitting goes well and it looks beautiful in a simple garter stitch. Also a crochet pattern where you do not have to look for stitches - for example, where you crochet into holes - goes well. I am doing a shell stitch with this yarn and it is going quickly. It's nice and cozy.
