Unfortunately, the yarn I am using is acrylic and not wool. Though I wish I
had some. I wonder if bamboo would be warm? The locat craft store sells
bamboo yarn and it is soooo incredibly soft, but I don't know if it would be
warm.

cm long ] it is warm and cozy just the way she likes it ...

Acrylic is, unfortunately, the most affordable and most available in my
area. I would love to try some of the more organic fibers. Bamboo, as I
have mentioned, and I would also like to try some alpaca. I may get
adventurous one day and just buy something not acrylic. : )

I was cruising Hobby Lobby yesterday and they seem to be closing out
quite a few of their yarn lines leaving a lot of empty shelf space. I
found some Bernat Alpaca that hadn't been there before next to one of
the close out yarns. I hope they get in more of the Bernat `good stuff'
like the cashmere, bamboo, soy, and maybe some of Paton's better yarns
too. sigh

it's possible they are clearing out the fall/winter lines to
make room for the spring/summer yarns too.

Last night while sitting in my chair
I pinged a host that wasn't there
It wasn't there again today
The host resolved to NSA.

I tried making a scarf from bamboo yarn. The yarn was soft, silky, and
heavenly. The only problem was, the yarn had a terrible way of
unwinding itself back into its basic fibers and kept breaking on me.
What a mess. I finished the project, but never again!

Possibly, they're basically a chain all purpose hobby store with fabrics
and yarn. The yarns they're closing out are mostly the fuzzy, furry type
ones, so hopefully that means they understand no one wants to use that
stuff anymore, and wants nicer yarns.
