Quick take
Needlecraft yarn isn't one thing: sometimes you want wool to embroider with, sometimes you want handspun skeins to knit into a bag, and sometimes you want a mixed bin to experiment with. The four listings here sit in the same price neighborhood, but the right match depends on the stitch you have in mind.
For crewel embroidery, the vintage purple wool lot is the focused pick. For a new handspun yarn to make accessories, the two-skein silk/wool/cotton set stands out. For bulk crochet experiments, the mixed yarn lot offers the most material. For finished table decor, the hand-crocheted doily trio is the ready-made choice.

Product notes
Vintage Crewel Yarn Lot Purple Shades Embroidery Needlework Destash
Sitting at the bottom of the listed-price range, this lot is the most focused fiber option if your project is crewel work. It's a used wool lot in purple shades, described as crewel-style yarn for embroidery needlework. The lot format is useful when you want a bundle of matching shades instead of picking individual skeins. The trade-off is the used condition: this is a vintage destash lot, not a fresh mill skein, so it suits a single crewel or embroidery project rather than a garment-size job. Wool-loving stitchers who want purple tones in one package should start here.
Yarn 2 Skeins Purple Tibet Wool Silk Cotton 150 g Yarn Needlecraft
This is the only new yarn in the comparison and it sits at the top of the listed-price range. The 150 g total is made up of a 100 g purple skein with silk and wool plus a 50 g pima cotton and silk skein. The yarn is handspun, and the listed suitable uses cover crafts, scarves, bags, and hats. That makes it a strong pick for a small wearable project where you want a mix of wool and silk in one order. The limitation is size and price: the total yardage-175 yards and 116 yards across the two skeins-is enough for an accessory, not a full garment. Choose it for a hat or cowl-sized project.
2+ lb Lot of Miscellaneous Yarn for Needle Craft Various Weights Colors Skeins
Listed toward the lower end of the price range, this lot is the bulk pick. You get more than 2 pounds of yarn in various weights and colors, with multiple brands named, including Wintuk, Aunt Lydias, and Pop N Yarn. The fiber is acrylic, and the lot includes some unlisted remnants as a surprise, which adds to the stash-busting appeal. The mixed nature is the limitation: different colors, weights, and used sources mean this is not a coordinated yarn set. For swatching, practice, or anything that doesn't require a matched palette, this lot delivers the most bulk in one package.
Trio of hand crocheted doilies, needlecraft and yarn home decoration
The doily trio takes needlecraft in a different direction: you're buying finished handwork instead of yarn. Listed in the middle of the price range, this pre-owned set includes one flower-centered doily about 9 inches square and two geometric doilies about 8 inches square in red/pink yarn. It's the only option in the group that can go straight to a table or shelf without any stitching. The clear limitation is that it's not a fiber supply-you can't rewind these into a project. This is the pick when the goal is a handmade home accent, not a bag of yarn.
Final recommendation by use case
If you're doing crewel embroidery, reach for the Vintage Crewel Yarn Lot Purple Shades. If you want new handspun yarn for a small accessory, the Yarn 2 Skeins Purple Tibet Wool Silk Cotton set is your match. If you need bulk yarn for crochet or knitting practice, the mixed acrylic lot is the practical choice. And if you want a finished needlecraft piece for your home, the Trio of hand crocheted doilies is the one to place on the table.
