Maybe bamboo or merino?

Cotton, its the best for sensitive skins.

I am absolutely of merino / cotton blends for light wearables as they do not keep warmth too much (and I am not too fond of being warm).
For winter wearables, alpaca is a must-have as it is quite affordable (compared to more expensive wool) very soft and very warm.

Thank you, Ive noticed I really like the feeling of cotton  blends but not cotton on its own.

redley

mercerized cotton maybe

Hi :) I think Merino-cotton or alpaca blends are a safe bet... If you can afford more expensive yarns, Id suggest mohair, which is very fine but as soft as a kitten. On the less expensive side, I think a velvet/chenille could be very warm and not itchy, even if its still acrylic. Happy crafting :)

bamboo/cotton blend would probably be very soft and therefore good for sensitive skin.
