THe yarn swatched at 15sc x 13 rows on a J hook for me, while Lion Homespun swatches at 10 sc x 10 rows on a K hook.
I've put it on the hairpin loom and its really a nice yarn to work with! It hasn't caused me any splitting problems (as homespun has done occasionally), its a lighter weight, and overall looks good! I'm really impressed with this yarn. Would I purchase it again? Definately yes, if I was looking for a yarn with a good texture in this weight.

98% acrylic, 2% nylon
100g / 3.5 oz
172m / 187 yards

I never tried this yarn. Pretty color you got!
How does the hairpin loom help?
I've heard of the hairpin loom but have no idea what it is or how to use it! I'm typing up a free pattern for my blog that lists a hairpin loom as one of the materials required. Could you do a future post about hairpin looms? :)
Linda, the hairpin loom is a tool that I'm using, just as a painter would use a brush to paint with..
