Here is my generalization: Red Heart Super Saver is the roughest 
(however, I also have a red heart 100% acrylic that is like a mohair but 
very soft), Lion Brand is typically softer than red heart but still 
depends on which line you are using, Bernat and Caron are the softest of 
these brands.

Again, this is strickly my "opinion" and not gospel.
