Yarn Substitution and building a stash

This is one reason to create a "stash" --- finding wonderful yarns at
wonderfully low prices, but not knowing exactly what they're to be used for
just yet. As your budget permits, I highly recommend this shopping
habit....

I recently found some interesting scarf patterns in the latest Family
Circle
Easy Knitting magazine. However, two of the patterns I like use rather
($6.00 and up a skein) expensive yarns. One is crocheted using Soft-Kid
by
GGH/Muench Yarns and the other uses Luxor by Skacel Collections. My
question is, is it possible to substitute less expensive yarns for the
ones
recommended? If so, what would you recommend?

Bookfan,

I have to agree with you, I got sticker shock the other day at AC Moore. They
had the "new" yarns starting at about $4.95 going up to $14.95 for a little
ball. I guess I'm old fashioned and will stick to making afghans and using sale
yarn or at least less expensive yarn.

BTW, welcome to the group.
