I buy this. Most of my patterns are made from it and it’s better than most name brands. Super high quality and cheap. I just realized it’s unavailable right now but if you’re willing to wait or if you find something similar it would probably work

Hi, consider what and who you mske for. Many yarns are no compliant woth safey laws and your item will not tyen pass compliance/ legal tests if you sell them. Im innthe UK. Flutterby is uk compliant, as is Wolans bunny baby. Wolans is my go too- its thicker and withstands weight tests for UKCA testing. JC Brett Flutterby is popular and more redily available. Hobbycraft yarns are not fully compliant with UKCA, so just ge careful what you choose if selling. Maybe look at some craft stalls and ask the makers what they use so that you can feel and touch them. Good luck!

I’m in the us so idk if you’ve heard of it but I LOVE Yarn Bee yarn from Hobby Lobby. It is a super bulky size, so if ur looking for thin this isn’t it… but still great yarn!

I saw several nice options on hobbii.com - I made a bear from dollar tree’s premier chenille, but it is not available online. Premier yarn does offer great deals on their website, they have a 19.75 pound box of yarn for $104 right now on the clearance page.
That is like 50 cents a skein/ball, great to stock up for a fall or holiday market and make the items between now and then.
