Hello, knitting pros- Another quick question for you all- Im trying to follow a pattern for a baby cardigan and want to use a different yarn from the one thats mentioned in the pattern- "Lion Brand Nature's Choice Organic Cotton". Im in the process of making a blanket with this yarn already and now want to experiment with other yarns. What can I use in its place- Im a complete novice, so I would appreciate brand names. Thanks again!!
Thanks everyone! Unfortunately, I went and bought yarn that not only doesnt have the same gauge as the pattern mentions but shrinks in the wash as well :( .. Needless to say I didnt read the replies to my question... oh well, a lesson learnt(the hard way!)
You can interchange this yarn with another worsted weight yarn, but stay away from Lion's Kitchen Cotton, it is a bit hard for baby clothes. Lamb's Pride's Cotton Fleece is a nice one if you want to stay with cottons. That said, it's now time for you to learn to read a ball band <G> for this purpose. Look at the number of stitches per inch and the recommended needle size. Any other yarn that will match that number of stitches (or a half stitch smaller or larger with different sized needles in the same area--7 to 9 US) will probably work. In this case, the ball band (or hang tag) will most likely tell you it is a worsted weight yarn. If you want to stay away from acrylics (acryllicks to me, I prefer natural fibers) and want a wool, look for one that indicates it is a Superwash. These yarns can be safely washed in the machine, and while they can go into the dryer, really should be dried in the air on a flat surface (you don't want to see some of my socks <G>. Cascade 220 has a superwash version that is quite affordable, and Lorna's Laces Shepherd Worsted is absolutely beautiful superwash merino, though more expensive. If you really want a fairly decent acrylic, though, look for Patons Canadiana or Plymouth Encore. Those are about the only two I'll work with occasionally.

It is organic cotton and came on a came on a cardboard tube with a yellow package around it. And it wasn't any of the usual brand names.

Cotton Knitting Yarn
I worked at a knitting store for a year and a half, and the best cotton yarn by far is Blue Sky Alpacas brand organic or dyed cotton. I use it for everything. It is so soft, comes in a lot of colors, and is worsted weight. It's even machine wash and dryable. It comes in hanks of 150 yds and usually costs around $10 a hank. You can find it at some yarn shops, but you can go to the blue sky site for stores that carry it. Or you could get it online. The store I worked at has an online store and carries it all the time. It is called Unwind Yarn in Burbank, CA. I just moved to NC and there are no local stores that carry Blue Sky, which is my favorite brand. They also have great alpaca obviously. I will be continuing to order it from Unwind! Nothing else compares.
