Yarn Type

What type of yarn or brand of yarn does everyone use? I’m still trying to find one that is not only super soft but can be used for multiple projects?

Really depends, tbh. I like to keep a few types at hand but if you’re a beginner medium thickness and these brands:
-Lion brand

  • Red heart
  • Caron

I really love the big twist. It’s soft and malleable than red heart

I use lion brand acrylic yarns a lot, and either flutterby chunky or bernat baby velvet for plush!

When I make dolls, I use Aunt Lydia’s #3 as the cotton is sturdier and less likely to fray.

Truboo for baby attire; has a nice weight to it and feels super comfortable.

Yarn | Laine Sweet snuggles for squishy plushes. It’s so soft~ :heart:

Hobby Lobby’s “I love this yarn” as my default for all the other projects. It’s gentle on my hands and doesn’t give me rope burn like the other acrylics.

TLDR; It’s all about the project you are working on.

I use Red Heart Super Saver. It’s from Walmart. It’s what I use for pretty much everything.

I like buying from hobbii. It’s super cheap and has pretty much every yarn u could think of. The shippings also surprisingly fast cuz it comes from Denmark

For me I like yarn bee and also loops and threads although I barely have any of either of those in my stash at the moment which is really odd

I thought I saw a post that Michaels will soon acquire some brands from Joann including big twist :thinking: saw it on the Michaels instagram page somewhere
