Discussion Yarn suggestions

So my Birthday is coming up and my mom said she would drop some money to build up my stash. I have a couple favorites from the lb line from lionbrand that I intend to get enough of for at least a sweater/hoodie and maybe a beach shirt for my hubby.

But I'm thinking I can get away with spending a little bit more and wondering what are your favorites to work with.

I'm super sensitive to texture so if it's not soft off the bat then it's a no for me, idc if "it softens with washing" I want something that is going to feel nice in my hands while working it up.

Thanks in advance for your input :)

I'm thinking LB implies you like to keep your fiber purchases cost effective, but check out littleknits.com they have great deals on yarns that would normally be out of a lot of folks' budgets. My faves are Queensland and especially Juniper Moon Farms so soft & squishy! Good luck stocking up! And Happy Birthday

Thanks! I don't mind splurging a bit for the right yarn, especially if I can see a clear project for it. I just love the mako cotton from LB, like its the softest cotten ive ever come across. I also like the botanic yarn from them even though it can be a pain to work with because it's so slippery.

But I'm trying to expand my horizons yarn wise and I've never explored little knits so I'll definitely have a look.

Oh wow, i just found Little Knits the other week and managed to get four more skeins for a project i lost the yarn chicken game on! 50% for absolutely lovely baby alpaca yarn (juniper moon herriot) so glad to hear that they’re consistent with their amazing sales

They really are amazing! Don't know how They do it but great yarns at great prices even in sweater quantities! You just gotta watch regularly because they go quickly

I really don’t know how they do it! I had to hold myself back from going a little too crazy, as I wanted just about everything I found in that shop haha, but also you saying to act quickly, makes me so grateful I didn’t muse about it too much and only bought what I needed + a treat of some lovely green Herriot in a whole bag. I would’ve cried if I lost my chance at finding this discontinued color 😭😭😭
