Lion Brand Yarn 860-153 Vanna’s Choice Yarn, BlackI love lion brand yarns! Love Vanna’s yarn also~really good yarn~and her color selection is very, very good! I think lion brand itself needs to carry more solid colors, but the yarn itself is really nice to work with! One of my top picks. sincerely, Carole.

baby yarn same as regular yarn, November 4, 2009

By 

Pamela Matthews “Eagle mom” (Dallas, GA) –

  

Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)

This review is from: Lion Brand Yarn 840-103E Vanna’s Choice Baby Yarn, Lullaby Pink (Kitchen)

Liked color but texture wasn’t as soft as I’d expected for a baby yarn. Same texture as regular yarn. I was a little disappointed. Probably won’t use again as a choice for a baby blanket.

So an 8 ply is going to be heavy, and thus feel and have a heavy texture and weight to it. There's really nothing wrong with using 8 ply wool, it's just your own personal preference. I just feel for me, 4 ply is the best (not to heavy, not too light, not too soft, not too firm). The hook size is fine as well.
