Homespun Hatred

I’m beginning to hate Lion Brand Homespun. I’ve had nothing but back luck with this yarn. In my first project one skein had pooling in the color, horrible, there were sections where one of the colors in the mix was missing so instead of being a bronze-y color it was miliary green with a pinkish hue! I thought maybe I had a different dye lot, but the color problem occurred within the same skein.

With this project, I’m getting towards the end of the first skein and it looks like the yarn ends and all I’m left with is the single strand of thread that holds the fiber together. How frustrating!

I think this is the last time I do anything with this yarn! Had I known how bad it would be, I would have just fixed up my other project and given it to my sister, so I wouldn’t have to use this yarn again. But I’ve got 9 skeins of this crap and I’m determined to make this afghan and make it right. I don’t think I’ve ever been more committed to a project. So it will get done, but it will be the last time I use Lion Brand Homespun.
