[falfal115]

So I just really started crocheting so im not really too sure what kind of yarn would be really good for a shrug. But i do have a pound of lb baby yarn my cousin got me, and i dont kno what to do with that so should i just use it?

 

thanx

Almost any type of yarn can be used. Currently I'm making one with Lion Brand's Microspun in 11 different colors. I love the feel & colors of Microspun but the 6 threads to make a strand tend to separate while crocheting so you have to be careful to pick up all 6 strands. Otherwise it's the softest yarn ever!! And it comes in tons of beautiful colors and some really bright colors.

you should use any yarn that makes you happy..

Yep, whatever yarn you want. I like to use the baby yarns or Caron Simply Soft so that they are soft against the skin if you're just wearing it over a tank top. Some of them can be a little itchy I think.
