Lately it's been all I can do to not make the same mistake in row after row after row! Since I rarely DO “quality work,” I can’t see the point in buying expensive

Between medical and the friggin' heating bills, I'm strictly a "Red Heart" girl ;-) Washed with fabric softener, I find it to become very soft. I did buy some wool from Knitpicks, but only because I want to felt a bag! Amen!

Who cares what the price tag is, it's your project that counts. If you like what yarn or color or texture you’re working with that’s what counts!!

Some times that cheap yarn is better! Last Christmas I made my FIL a afghan out of Caron One pound. It has been washed many times and still looks as good as when I gave it to him!! I agree with you.

I can't afford those fancy shmancy yarns either, except every so often as a bit of a treat. 99% of my stash is plain old RH acrylic. Now, I'd agree that stuff would suck for a sweater, but in that case I'd use Simply Soft lol. Frankly, even if I had the money to buy the expensive stuff, I'm such a cheapskate, I'd still work with cheap more often than not! {{Hugs}} Darlin’ everything I have seen that you’ve made looks just fine!
