What’s Your Favorite Yarn Brand?
By Rachel Choi – 54 Comments| I was recently asked by a reader, what my favorite yarn was and it was a pretty hard question for me to answer. For me it all depends on the material I’m looking to use. For instance, I use acrylic a lot for everyday things, so my favorite acrylic yarn is Caron Simply Soft. I love the softness, the colors, plus it’s a decent price for what you get. My favorite novelty yarn is Sensation’s Boucle yarn (this yarn is soft too), although I hated it the first time I tried to crochet with it. |  |
I think I’m starting to realize that I’m a sucker for all the “soft” yarns no matter what the material is, because when I first started crocheting I used a lot of cheap Red Heart yarn, and that stuff is rough (the opposite of soft). I must admit that there’s tons of yarns that I haven’t tried yet, so I bet that my favorite yarns will constantly be changing.
Do you have a favorite brand of yarn?
Thank You very much. I have a feeling I will be snowed in at work tonight, so will do a search and take my yarn and hooks with me. Middle of the night would be a good time to practice. lol
You talk about soft yarn… that is why I love baby yarn so much. It’s so soft! I’ve made several baby afghans for family members, co-workers and friends. I love a lot of the Lion Brand yarns. There are a lot of really cool patterns there. I love your blog, Rachel. It’s so fun to follow along with your thoughts, patterns, and comments.
My favorite (currently) is the Sugar’n Cream Scents. It’s so pleasant to have the aroma of lavender while I am crocheting. The only downside is that the scent fades when you wash it.
