Look online and you might find some good deals!</p> <p>ETA: It's better to stay away from those places anyway. They suck you in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-yarn-#post-1667043 Thu, 29 May 2014 20:07:57 +0000 mfa_lady 1667043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: +1 for Cascade. Love their Ultra Pima and their superwash wools.</p> <p>Yarn.com is a good resource if you know what you're looking for. They have pretty good discounts for quantity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-yarn-#post-1667039 Thu, 29 May 2014 20:06:27 +0000 sorrycharlie 1667039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: booo was hoping for a quick find, LOL. I don't know if there's a yarn shop even near me? There's a fabric factory nearby but not sure if they sell yarn, or if it would be any higher quality than Jo-Anns.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-yarn-#post-1667003 Thu, 29 May 2014 20:00:49 +0000 Espion 1667003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go to a dedicated yarn shop. Yarn (and fabric) are freaking expensive, but the good yarns are definitely worth it. They'll be able to direct you toward yarns that are washable and generally have better color schemes. I feel like if I'm going to spend the time knitting anything, then it had better be washable and soft enough in the end!</p> <p>ETA: I've used Cascade yarns most recently and have had good luck with those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-yarn-#post-1666977 Thu, 29 May 2014 19:55:41 +0000 sorrycharlie 1666977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when I was learning to crochet, I made my daughter a small blanket (maybe 1'x1'?) that she loves. but she picks fuzz off it and puts them in her mouth - or they just end up everywhere.</p> <p>I think I used Bernat from Jo-Anns, it was a mix of colors. </p> <p>any recommendations for one that won't fuzz so badly? There's no way I'm ever getting that one back from her, but I'd like to make her another larger one. </p>
