What is your favourite yarn to knit or crochet with?

I started knitting with very large needles when I first started. Using size 13, 15 or larger. Recently I have gone to smaller needles. I love chinelle yarns! The smoother the better! If I knit with wool I cant knit anything to big because it scratches my fingers.

My favorite yarn is Bernat Satin. Unfortunately, I ordered some from Joanns.com website. Some of what I got was the regular thickness and softness. But 2 skeins were thick and not as soft. Another skein was thick and thin, varying quality. I called them and emailed. They said they will send me replacement yarn after the new year. They didn't ask for my address though. I thought that was a bit strange. So we'll see. It was really disappointing as the first couple times I used it it was wonderful.

My favorite yarn to knit with is baby's yarn. It is so soft and easy to work with. The yarn I detest to work with is phentex. It it so course and splits apart very easily.

I use mostly acrylics, I love novelty yarns like eyelash and other fuzzy yarns.

That would depend on what I am making. Right now I want to do some felted purses, so wool is what I'm looking for. I was happy to find some at a Goodwill for .50. I also found some yarn that was acrylic and mohair. I grabbed that for a particular shawl I've been wanting to make that requires mohair type yarn. I love self-striping yarn because it is pure fun to use. I like Lion Homespun if I'm using the Knifty Knitter. I'm dying to try hemp, bamboo, corn and soy yarns. I've heard great things about them.

i also like to use wool yarn to knit with i think the more natural the wool the better some of the yarn that they have at craft shops that is real stringy is hard for me to knit with the strings hanging off of it get in my way and just end up pulling off even though that kind of yarn is really pretty i would like to learn to spin my own yarn to knit with that way i know it is all natural

That depends on what I'm knitting. I like acrylics as well as wool, but don't care for mohair. I love cotton, but it doesn't work up well for everything. I want to learn to spin some day - right now I spend all my free time knitting!

I like to use acrylic/wool blends. I prefer the feel of them to acrylic, but don't find them itchy like I often do with wools.

I prefer natural materials but actually I'm using man made yarns also. Years ago one of my friends and relatives had sheep, and then she always gave me wool for gift. I still have some sweaters, made of her wool. Sometimes I purchase a sweater from a second hand shop and rip it. When crocheting, I almost always use cotton.

I spin my own yarn on my spinning wheel or drop spindle, so I prefer to use my handspun yarn when ever possible. I really really like any kind of wool. Plant fibers do not come out as nicely, in my opinion.

I wish that I had the skill and patience you have. I use Red Heart for the most part. For my nice things and gift I use Baby Spun.

I find myself buying Lion Brands Wool-ease the most. However, i've used every mainstream yarn under the sun, including vintage stuff from my mom's attic~

I am so new to knitting that I don't have a favorite yet. I did make a felted bag with some Lamb's Pride Bulky yarn, which was a pleasure to work with. I would definitely use it again. I want to try the Lamb's Pride worsted. I just love going to the yarn shop and browsing all the beautiful stuff. I moved to the Pacific North West 2 years ago and all of a sudden, right before Christmas I caught knitting fever. I just felt like I needed to knit. Who knows how long this will last, but I am really enjoying it.

I mainly just crochet, and very much prefer using natural fibers. I really like actually working with cotton. Seems such a simple pleasure. I like the feel, appearance, texture and even smell of cotton.
