Local Grown Yarn
SKU: 668-122AA
This 100% wool yarn is 100% American made!

A CYC 4, worsted weight yarn, Local Grown lends itself to many types of projects from garments to wearable accessories, home décor, and blankets. And like all wool yarns, Local Grown possesses a natural elasticity that helps retain the item’s shape after many uses. There's no wrong way to pair colors of Local Grown yarn; the extensive color palette all play well with each other. Don’t hesitate to use it for the simplest stitches or let the amazing stitch definition shine in cabled and textured designs!

I received this yarn in an Instagram giveaway, but am reviewing of my own free will. I haven’t started my project yet but I keep glancing at it longingly while I work on my current WIPs. I got the Sage and Cherry Blossom colors and they look just like their photos. They are equally smooth and soft, and they are a true worsted weight. I’m excited to get working with them!
10/10! Local Grown exceeded all of my expectations, and will now be yet another favorite LB yarn in my collection. For a 100% wool yarn, is it not scratchy at all. It is very soft, has great stitch definition, and has an amazing line of colors that all work really well together. The icing on the cake is that is it also 100% made in the USA! I already have more that I can't wait to use this fall and winter.
You will love this wool if you like all things natural. The colors are gorgeous, the spun is even. It is not as soft as merino, but has a great hand that I think will do well for cardigans, shawls, blankets, and such.
I put the yarn to the test because I wanted to see if it fulls well, and sure enough it does!
So, if you don't want it fulled ... definitely hand-wash and lay flat to dry. But if you want to full it for coasters, hot pads, table runners, bags, and such ... I just threw mine in the laundry with towels and jeans and ran it through a regular cycle. It came out nicely fulled, and I let it air dry to shape. I made this fall candle holder with Maple and Moss. (did I say that I love all the colors?).
Summary: If a good wool is what you are looking for, I can highly recommend Local Grown.
I tried this yarn to see how it would work out because I had not used it before. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to work with and how nice of a texture it was. I will definitely be repurchasing it in the future!
This yarn is so lovely. I bought a crochet kit for the plaid scarf-it has a great feel to it and is working up really nicely. The colors are true to the photos online.Easy to use and no issues at all. I even turned around and bought more when it was still on sale to make another scarf!
This has a great texture and I'm very pleased with the color.
