I love to make things I dont wear
i made this sweater, like i have many others and i just look at it sitting in my closet. i love a chunky knit i just dont have the patience to make anything with below like 6mm needles. i used caron cakes or some other caron striping yarn for this and i just hate the way it feels. it makes me sweat but is not absorbant. cotton yarn is always stretching and hard to find in thicker yarns, wool is hard to wash and itchy and expensive. what do i do? does anyone have any yarn suggestions that dont feel horrible to wear but aren’t insanely expensive? ive knit and crocheted for over ten years and i barely wear what i make except for the occasional cardigan. any suggestions would be so appreciated! thank you!
