Cozy Up with These Hometown USA® Blankets

Hometown USA® is a soft and versatile super bulky yarn. It’s great for everything from clothing to accessories to housewares. One project that always looks fantastic in this yarn is blankets.

Through January 26, Hometown USA® is 20% off as part of our Made in America sale. So now is a great time to stock up for one of these soft and comfy blanket projects. This yarn is a category 6 (super bulky) weight, made from soft 100% acrylic (tweeds are 94% acrylic, 6% rayon). You get 81 yds (74 m) in each 5 oz (142 g) skein. Since it can be machine washed and dried, this is a great choice for kids’ projects, pet projects, and blankets that will take a lot of use, abuse, and love.

The blanket and afghan patterns available for Hometown USA® vary from the subdued to the bright — and there’s even one that looks like a shark. You will definitely find something to for your decor, plus, whether you knit or crochet, we have patterns you’ll love.

Being super bulky, projects using this yarn tend to work up quickly. Start today and you will be cuddled up under your new blanket in no time.

Knit Blankets

Our knit patterns come in a variety of styles. Try out cables, or colors, or even both! Making one of the cabled afghans in a brighter shade can add a pop of color and sophistication to your home.
