Favourite affordable yarn company and type

What is your favourite yarn company and type? I honestly do not know my favourite company but I like acrylic yarn the best because you can basically do anything with it but chenille yarn is also fun to knit and crochet with.

the one near my place has such dim lighting, no music at all, is barely clean, the staff are so depressed, and there’s almost always someone with a cigarette. i only go there if hobby lobby is closed.

I really like Loops & Threads. Their Sweet Snuggles chenille yarn is SO SOFT. It’s amazing. I also like ‘I Love This Yarn.’ It’s really soft.

Also, the Hobby Lobby and Micheals near me are both really nice. I go to Micheals for chenille yarn, and Hobby Lobby for my normal yarn.

Hear hear! And over priced! I rarely go there except for Caron Cakes that you can’t get elsewhere.

I have tried a lot of acrylics:
I typically avoid

Loops and Thread Impeccable
Caron Simply Soft
RHSS
Knit Picks Brava
Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice
Almost everything acrylic by Lion Brand
Hobby Lobby Love this Yarn
Bernat
Paintbox

Because of lots of splitting, scratchy, looks cheap, breaks easily, poor quality yucky range of colors, and constant tangling even after caking. Of above Brava and Lion Brand suck.

Acrylics I use and like with good softness, not splitting, minimal yarn barf, easy to crochet with, and consistent quality with breakage only with force as well as minimal knots.

Premier Basix is my favorite.
Herrscheners Worsted 8
Joann’s Big Twist
Furls Wander Yarn ( oh so soft -and vibrant colors but can be so splitty)
Universal Yarn ( back when I could afford it).

I’m speaking of 100% acrylic, this list does not include anti pilling acrylics
