What kind of yarn do you prefer to knit mostly?
I love knitting merino wool and cotton wool. Merino wool is smooth and not itchy. Also I like kasmire and alpaka silk. I love knitting with merino too, I find some colors itchier than others THANK YOU VERY MUCH I crochet only but my faves are same as you - merino, and cotton, and cashmere! Ahhh the touch of cashmere is just a pure bliss!! Wool is my favorite...nice definition.Mercerized cotton yarn for washclothes! Os fios que mais gosto de trabalhar sao 100% algodao Merino, merino mixes with silk or cashmere, alpaca I cant say that I have a favorite. I dont often get really nice yarns and when I do, I dont know what to do with them. I too like Merino wool and silk. It all depends on what I am about to do though.For my amigurumis I mostly use Catania cotton yarn and its really beautiful to the touch.
Some works are better done with baby yarn which is definitely the most lovely to knit and crochet with. I love merino wool and baby alpaca.And lately, Ive started using CoBaSi for summer-weight socks - its got elastic in it, and it wears like iron.Even my better half hasnt been able to wear holes in socks made from CoBaSi.:) sounds like expensive wool

Edited by DehbiK at 2017-9-16 05:29I like to knit with many different types of yarns.Weight-wise and lately its been fingering weight - Ive been knitting shawls.But I also use a lot of worsted and DK weight.Fiber content-wise I like merino, bamboo, silk, and cotton blends.I gave up on most cashmere yarns because they are too expensive and most weights pill, which is a nuisance.Right now I am knitting a shawl of a linen/modal blend.It will get softer with each washing so as soon as it is off the needles, which will be in another row or two, Ill wash it!
