Sensations Angel Hair substitute?

[knotyourgrandma]

I'm making this poncho:

 

But want to use a neutral or camel color yarn. I love angel hair (which this poncho is made with) but they don't have the color I need. Anyone know a yarn which will be very similar?

Have you tried Paton's Divine?

Paton's Divine is exactly what I thought of when I saw the picture. I love their colors and it is sooo easy with work with!

Red Heart Symphony would probably work as well. The yardage is great on that, they have some pretty colors and it's really, really soft.

Oh, I like that poncho! Where can I get the pattern?

Thanks- I'm going to Michael's today so I'll look at both of those. With two toddlers in tow I like to research my yarns on the web and then just grab what I need when I'm in the store. It's hard to linger and enjoy yarn shopping when I bring the boys!

I haven't used either of them before, but from the looks of them on their websites it looks like either would work.

 

For the pattern, I didn't write it down exactly (I'm bad at doing that!) but it's basically just two triangles: start with a long chain, first row ch 5, sk 3, sc in next stitch. Then every row after that ch7 and sc in each chain space. Then stitch the two triangles together, leaving a hole for the head. In this one, I also left the arms open. (I did about 3 stitches on either side of the neck, and a stitch about half-way down each arm)

Hope that makes sense!

The Paton's Divine is very similar. It'll work, I'm sure... and you can get it at Michael's or JoAnn's. (Coupons!)
