Catching up on some old bloglines feeds, I found this yarn meme on feather and fan's blog, and was intrigued. I'm modifying it slightly.
Top 100 Ravelry yarns as of April (ranked by # of projects)
Used
1, Cascade 220 Wool - a lovely springy wool in loads of colours. It is now available in the UK, but more expensive (of course)
4, Noro Kureyon - like everyone else, love the colours, wish it was softer and cheaper
11, Koigu Painter’s Palette Premium Merino (KPPPM) - before I used this, I couldn't believe it was worth the high price tag. But looking at the blendability of the colours compared to the CTH supersock in the same project, it is worth it for something special
21, Cascade 220 Heathers - same as 1
25, Rowan Kidsilk Haze - tough but rewarding
42, Cherry Tree Hill Supersock Merino- the poor man's KPPPM? I like it, but I don't love it, and colour bleeding has caused me problems
47, Rowan RYC Cashsoft DK - love it, love it, love it -unfortunately, so do moths
49, Rowan Felted Tweed - very nice woolly feel, but takes forever to knit up
50, Rowan Calmer - I really like the top I made from this, and although it seems ridiculously expensive for cotton and acrylic, it is the only one of its kind
67, Rowan Wool Cotton - yes , nice, but too expensive for me
73, Handmaiden Fine Yarn Sea Silk - hmm, nice, but wouldn't bother to buy again
90, Blue Sky Alpacas Alpaca Silk - this one is a repeat purchase
92, Rowan All Seasons Cotton - very thick, nice to work with, but I struggle to think of garments I could wear this thick
In stash
10, Noro Silk Garden - waiting to be made into a frilled cardigan
15, Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock Multi - for stripy socks
33, Berroco Ultra Alpaca - for cabled bags
60, Blue Sky Alpacas Dyed Cotton - for a baby cardigan
62, Rowan Big Wool - a jacket
68, Blue Sky Alpacas Organic Cotton - baby cardi
72, Misti International Misti Alpaca Chunky - cropped sleeve cardigan
