Cotton question

[Guest ceeceecrochets]

Can anyone recommend a worsted weight cotton that is really soft, but available in more colors than Cottontots? Sugar 'n Cream has lots of colors, but I'm looking for something softer, and Cottontots just has the baby pastels.

 

Thanks!

I haven't seen much other cotton at the regular craft stores. I believe Patons Grace is cotton, but it is thinner than worsted

If you are willing to buy online, <a href="http://secure.elann.com/frames.asp" target="_new">www.elann.com</a> has a great stuff, good prices and very good service. I know a lot of ladies here have used them happily. They have several cotton and cotton blend items.

 

Also, <a href="http://stores.ebay.com/Over-The-Rainbow-Yarns_W0QQsspagenameZL2QQtZkm" target="_new">Over the Rainbow Yarns</a> is a fantastic ebay seller. She has gorgeous handpainted yarns. Her stock changes, right now I didn't see any worsted weight cottons but she did have several bulky & thick/think cottons. I've bought from her several times, you get a lot of yarn for the price and she ships super fast.

You could try Lion cotton-ease (which is part cotton and part acrylic) or Lion cotton (which is 100% cotton). Just go here lionbrand.com/ and click on the link on the left that says our yarns. Then click on the yarn you want to look at. There's also Debbie Bliss who has a cotton/cashmere blend and a cotton/angora blend. You can see them here.
