Answer by TinySpark
I love love love, rowan’s lima collection, so soft, and such yummy colors. But depending on whom I am knitting for, men, women, children. I also like noro silk garden ( for a classic noro striped scarf), and big chunky yarn for my friends in cold states. But alpaca and wool blends top the list.
What do you think? Answer below!
Alpaca because it is so soft and warm but isn’t scratchy like mohair.
A good wool yarn is always great to knit with, but silk and bamboo are great for knitting lacy summer scarfs with.
Merino wool, specifically Malabrigo yarn. It’s soft and squooshy next to the skin and feels like pure luxury! Plus it’s a good way to get value since you can get by with one skein per scarf. Scarfs are usually where I will splurge and buy luxury yarn since you don’t have to get a bunch of skeins, and at my LYS Malabrigo is around 13$ skein, I consider that a great price for a gift.
