A Good Yarn / Yarn for Aran
« on: January 21, 2018, 10:07:55 AM »
I've got a pattern for an Aran cardigan and I had decided that I wanted to use Debbie Bliss Cashmerino until I realised that it would cost me £75! (£5.00 for 50g)
I don't like knitting / wearing man made fibres but I don't mind a bit mixed in. I like a wool with a soft feel - anything a bit coarse sets my teeth on edge if I touch it (I'm a fussy wotsit).
After a lot of searching for alternative Aran weight yarn I came across Drops Nepal which is wool / alpaca and £2.00 for 50g. Have any of you used it or have any other suggestions?
I suppose I could order one ball to try and see how it knits up and whether or not it passes my pernickety touch test.
