In a hopefully, respectful fashion, I must also tell you what yarns I abhore to knit with. I'd rather throw these yarns down a well, drag them behind my car, flush down the toilet, throw in the dumpster, you get the idea...
1. Crystal Palace Splash...almost anything they make right now...
2. Rowan Summer tweed
3. Muench Touch Me, or any chenille, actually.
4. Reynolds Lopi
5. Swedish Yarn's Funny, Happy, Kitten, etc.etc.
6. Noro's Daria Multi
7. Cascade 220
8. Katia Sevilla
9. Red Heart Supersaver (A.C. Moore's #1 best selling yarn)
10.Lion Brand Homespun
Hope I didn't offend anyone...but if I did, get in line. Most of the yarns on this list have made the shop alot of money over the past 5 years, but still I hate them. I know, Bratty. Besides, they're completely worthless now in this yarn climate (with the exception of Lopi , Daria Multi, and I guess for A.C. Moore, Red Heart). I've tried knitting with Red Heart before. My hands break out in these huge bleeding ulcers and then they burst into flames. Not worth it.
Cover your ears, Tivo darling...Volvo's Navigational System, I love you too.
