Yarn, Yarn, Yarn

There are so many yarns to pick from when you decide to make a new project.  I tend to go back again and again to my favorites.  Whether it is the variety of colors or the texture, certain yarns just do it for me!

If you are going to spend the time and effort(an enjoyable effort) to make your project, you want to have a pleasing experience.  Your favorite yarns can make it a pleasing experience where as some yarns can make you crazy and seem to make the work exactly that-work!

Not to say that I always use the same yarns, as new and improved yarns are coming on the market all the time. However, my favorite for now is Vanna White's line of yarns for Lion Brand. The texture is soft and plyable and there is a great color selection.  And of course, the price is great.

One yarn that I tend to stay away from, although there is a wide selection of beautiful colors, is Lion Brand Homespun.  I have used it many times before but I just seem to have trouble with splitting of the fibers with that particular yarn.  It may be me. however, and how I crochet and knit.

I have tried many other yarns as dictated by the current project.  Some expensive, some not.  It is all in the feel of the yarn.  Whatever makes your project a joy to do.
