Our take on the Lion Brand Wool-Ease

Wool-Ease is a 4-ply worsted yarn that blends lamb's wool with acrylic, giving warmth and softness with the easy care of a synthetic. Each skein is 3 oz and about 197 yards, enough for a hat, scarf or part of a blanket. It is machine washable and dryable, which sets it apart from pure wool yarns that need hand washing. Reviewers call it a dependable workhorse for beginners and experienced knitters alike, though some find it less soft than premium wool and note occasional splitting.

Questions and answers

Is Wool-Ease good for beginners?
Yes. It is a standard worsted weight that works with common needle and hook sizes, and the wool-acrylic blend is forgiving of uneven tension. Beginners should watch for splitting and loosen their grip slightly.
Can Wool-Ease go in the dryer?
Yes. It is machine washable and machine dryable, which is unusual for a wool blend. Use a low heat setting to limit pilling and shrinkage.
How much yarn is in one skein?
Each skein is 3 oz (85 g) and about 197 yards (180 m) of worsted weight yarn. That is roughly one adult hat or a good start on a scarf.
Is Wool-Ease soft enough for baby items?
It is often used for baby blankets and hats because it washes well, but some find it too scratchy for direct skin contact. A softer acrylic or cotton may suit newborns better.
How does Wool-Ease compare with pure wool yarn?
It is less warm and less breathable than pure wool, but it costs less and survives machine washing. Pure wool feels softer and blocks better but needs hand washing.
What needle size works with Wool-Ease?
It is a worsted weight, so US 7 to 9 knitting needles or a 5 to 5.5 mm crochet hook suit most projects. Check your gauge before starting a garment.
Where is the Lion Brand Wool-Ease cheapest?
At eBay, for $4.40, 27% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Lion Brand Wool-Ease?
11 stores we checked sell it, including eBay, Michaels Stores, Wool and Company, LindeHobby.com, Lion Brand Yarn.
