If you are talking abount different kinds of yarn, I personally prefer working with natural yarns (wool, cotton, alpaca...), even if more expensive: the products last longer and are more sustainable.

Hello :) are you asking about a specific brand or more like the composition?
If we are talking about the former, I think it would differ a lot from wherever you are from. If you are from an european country, I'd suggest Drops, Katia and Mondial. You can find different brands and yarns on big sites as Hobbii.
If you are talking abount different kinds of yarn, I personally prefer working with natural yarns (wool, cotton, alpaca...), even if more expensive: the products last longer and are more sustainable.

i prefer natural yarns - 100% wool or pure animal fiber - of course, some wools are itchier than others, so you have your pick like merino, BFL, yak, cashmere, etc.

I have been wanting to knit with silk for awhile! Could I ask what happens when you block silk - does it tend to shrink or change shape?  Post time 2024-11-19 09:55

100% wool is the best choice in my opinion!

I’m boring and love 100% cotton, because it’s easy to work with, easy on my fingers even for long-term projects, and just generally wears and lasts extremely well, even with machine washing.
