What yarn can i use in place of "Lion Brand Nature's Choice Organic Cotton" ?
Pea Pod Hat

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.

    Go ahead and stitch Green or any of the other luscious shades in which Nature’s Choice Organic Cotton is available. The dyes used to create the wonderful color pallet meet the Global Organic Textile Standards established by the Institute of Marketecology. Grown and spun without the use of pesticides, herbicides or other agrochemicals, the cotton used for Nature’s Choice creates a soft, versatile yarn that stitches up beautifully and is easy to work with. Cool, comfortable, and chemical free, Nature’s Choice Organic Cotton is the ideal yarn for baby blankets and children’s projects and stitches up into gorgeous designs for adults, too…….. While I had hoped for natural and organic yarn made from real Lion, what I received was in fact, the usual hum-drum yarn made from cotton. Boring old cotton. I did manage to knit a lion face on my scarf however and that’s worked out pretty good, but my excitement over the brand name caused me to gloss over the fact that “Cotton” is indeed in the title and is in fact what you get. Rawerrr.
