SP3 Questions
1. Are you a yarn snob (do you prefer high-end/natural fibers)? Do you avoid Red Heart and Lion Brand? (no i dont like them sorry - it has nothing to do with cost).
I have to admit I am a yarn snob, but I am a sucker for Sirdar acrylics. So for me its not about what it's made out of, but if I don't like knitting with it. I do not like cottons (knitting with them I mean). I have always wanted to try brown sheeps cotton fleece i think it's called. None of our LYS's have it around here. I think its like 50% cotton 50% wool. I like stuff I can wash. Don't have to be able to dry it, but atleast like to wash it. I do not like sock y arn that is variated.. I like nice thick stripes, or solid colors. Noru is the only varieted yarns I tend to like. I am not into frou frou yarn, i use it to make things for other people.
