If you could crochet with any type/brand of yarn......

[MyGirlFriday]

which would you choose??? :bheart

I have never felt alpacha yarn....is that nice to work with?? How about that brand called Colinette?? (I'm not sure on the spelling of that one~since I haven't ever see it!)

I have seen yarn online that was very expensive......are they really worth it??

Share your favorites!!

Colinette yarn! I had my answer ready when I read the question, before I saw you mention that brand. Oh it's lovely.

 

And I really think my favorite type of yarn to work with is handpainted mohair. Mmmmmmmm. I bought another brand and it just didn't quite feel as.... hmm, exquisite as theirs.

As far as fiber goes, Baby alpaca is the best! I absolutely LOVE the feel of it. It is one of those yarns that I could just sit and pet forever. ( I know mohair is great, but I don't like the fuzzy/shedding aspect to it). Can you tell I am on a baby alpaca kick?

I also love Malabrigo merino wool yarn, it is soft and comes in beautiful vibrant colors. Also Manos Del Uruguay in their beautiful handpainted wools. I love just about everything that is handpainted!!!

KnitPicks.com has a wonderful yarn called Andean Treasure (I think that's right). It's baby alpaca and is so soft. I'm making my mother a scarf for her birthday out of it and I just enjoy the feel of it in my hands.

I Pretty much only crochet with Red Heart SS and Caron SS because that is what I can afford but I have seen a yarn called Nano. It is Japanese and has some beautiful colors. I would love to try a bit of the silk wool blends they have.

Are you thinking of Noro Silk? http://www.stringofpurls.com/Silk_Garden_Yarn_p/silkgarden.htm

I am pretty much with poison apple and I don't even think about yarns that I cannot afford to buy.

 

I did recently work with Bernat Big Value Denim Heather and it was so lovely to work with. I knit that scarf in record time because the yarn was such a pleasure to handle.

I absolutely love "Highland Thistle" by yarn bee (?) I buy it at Hobby Lobby, it's thick, soft, verigated in bright colors and it has a thin (something like) fun fur in it, they have this white, gold, and fuscha color, it's great, makes great hats! Regular price is about $5 and something. 1 Skein will pretty much make 1 hat, if it isn't to big. (I only buy it on sale, about 2 times! hehe

Alpaca is wonderful...I love working with it.

 

I really, really would love to work with Cashmere or Angora. They are SO soft! (and so expensive!!)

Duh:blush See...It is so far out of my price range I can't even spell it. LOL:D

I've yet to crochet with silk and it would be nice to give it a go!

[angieInCA]

Oh there are so many that I love to crochet with that it is really hard for me to choose a favorite. I really love natural fibers though like wool and silk. I think Knitpicks wools are very nice and not too far out of price reach.

[funkyreporter]

I would like to crochet with a nice silk (not raw Yugly silk) and linen would be interesting...

I haven't used much wool yarn. It tends to be too hot for it where I live. I like the cotton and cotton blend yarns. I enjoyed working with the TLC Cotton Plus, and I plan to use it in the future for garments and such.

[Selune]

I like the Angel Hair yarn from JoAnns, and Homespun (which I learned with). Also, Lucious by Yarn Bee is, well, lucious. Overall, though, Homespun is my preferred yarn. Soft, easy to dump in the washer and dryer, and works up quick. Lion Chenille Thick & Quick is also nice to work with, but bugger all that special cleaning. Grrr. Me likes me washer and dryer.

[CaliAdria]

My favorites at Michael's:

 

Homespun (GREAT colors, totally soft, works up quickly)

Caron SS (I just love how it feels)

Bernat Satin (my new fave!!! very similar to SS)

 

My favorite at the LYS:

 

Cascade Cherub Collection... it's absolutely perfect for baby stuff; easy-care acrylic, soft as a lamb, great colors.

 

Also, I'll take anything cashmere or cashmerino when I can find it (and afford it!)

[Lady_of_Roses]

I don't have a dream yarn at this point. I'm all about being able to actually use my item regularly, so being washable and dryable is a really big deal for me!

For me it would be the Noro Silk. I touched it when I was in London in October (but I purchased the Noro Kureyon instead, which was way cheaper) I love the Noro colors, you can't get them in Vienna, so they are really very very special for me.
