Brown Sheep Burly Spun Yarn in assorted colors

I love this yarn, it's so snuggly and warm! I use it to make capelets, because just one skein of it is the perfect amount. Paradise Fibers has a super fair price on it and the shipping is very fast. I will continue to order this yarn from PF as I desire more of it.

I love this yarn. I purchased a skein from you of this same yarn over a year ago and, although I was taking a chance, the color matched exactly. Thank you for prompt service.

Product: Brown Sheep Burly Spun yarn
oatmeal

this yarn is big and lofty and goregous. Going to make big fashionable headbands with it. I also bought quite a few yarns from this store before and very fast shipping and great prices.

Pleased but am a bit confused as the pattern in Winter 2009/10 KnitSimple page 54 3 Garter Stitch Coat called for size L - 7 hangs of Burley Spun by Brown Sheep Co. 8 oz/226 hanks, each approximately 130 yd/119 m (wool)
I purchased 7 hangs as you see in my first order. The yarn showed Approx. 132 yards per skein 226 g.
Which is 2 yards more, however I ran out of yarn, I used the recommended needle size 13 and the gauge was correct. I ordered 2 more thinking it would be sufficient but after finishing back both front panels and left sleeve I did not have enough to finish last sleeve. I thereby ordered 2 more just to be on the safe side because I also needed more to finish the front band. How can a pattern be so off? Or is your yardage not correct?

I really want to love your site. I am finding it harder and harder to find the yarns I love locally. However, the last two orders I have placed with you have had items on backorder. Also, I e-mailed you last week, as I received a coupon online a day after placing a large order that had not yet been processed. I e-mailed to see if it could be applied to my order and never got a response. I will probably continue to order yarn online, but hope these can be resolved.
Thanks, Cindy
P.S. I can't review Burly Spun, I haven't received it!

Love it!! used this product for the thrumming for mittens. works great!!

LOVE this yarn. It knits up quickly and has a lovely little stretch to it that helps when making cables. Just finishing up a cowl and I guarantee that I will not be cold when I wear this.

I bought several skeins of this yarn for my daughter. She loved it, especially the handpainted skeins.

Love this yarn! Knits and crochets up so quickly! Warm and comfortable to wear. [...]

I use this wool for my little primitive raggedy dolls, for hair! It is the perfect thickness and texture for the look I am going for!!

First time I ever knitted a bulky yarn sweater on large needles. It has been 40 years since the last sweater I made and this one turned out really chunky and big and was a fast knit. I made it for my college daughter who was always cold in her dorm room. She loves it!

Beautiful yarn but right now i prefer a lighter weight.

I make dreadlocks with the burly spun yarn and other yarns too. It is thick and soft in great earthy colors. I love the feel and the look.

Not that this has ever happened to me or anything, but you know how this goes down: you show up at your grandmother's house, and are informed that it's your pseudo aunt's* birthday, and there you are -- with nothing in hand. So what do you do? You need yarn, you need it fast, and you need something you can knit quickly.

Brown Sheep Burly Spun to the rescue!

You grab two skeins just after lunch, cast on 50 stitches, MOL, and have a hat before the early evening news. By 6pm, you're rounding the last few inches of the matching scarf, and, when you give it to your pseudo aunt* just after dinner, she can't figure out how you pulled it off.

Did you show up in town with a hat-and-scarf set already made for her? How did you know what colours to choose? This is the magic of the Burly Spun.

*A pseudo aunt is the sister of your aunt who is your cousin's aunt, but not actually your aunt, but she's been in the family so long, and is around with the rest of your aunts and uncles that she's pretty much just another aunt of yours, too.

I use this to make the most amazing, luxurious scarves and shawls. It is super soft, comes in a variety of great colors. Knits up very chunky... this is my favorite yarn. There are some great patterns out there for shawls with modern lines and scarves you can bulk up to keep warm in the chilly winter.

Thank you so much Paradise Fibers! I REALLY needed this yarn which I had previously bought from my local yarn store (Wooly Bully) but they had run out so I needed this for my school project and Paradise called me and helped get it to me on time and it was perfect and I LOVE the Burly Spun!
Thanks so much Paradise!
