Thanks all.  I think I’ll try some.  They have a cotton/hemp blend that sounds interesting.

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.

Has anyone worked with Lion Brand yarns?  Two of their lines are Heartland and Basic Stitch no pilling.  

I just wonder if they feel nice and are nice to work with.  I don’t think I’ve ever gotten any, but I’ve gotten on their email list and some of their pattern kits sound nice.

I’ve looked at a couple crochet kits that use 2 colors.  People have said before that crochet always written, not pesky charts.  Is that true for multi-color projects?

 

BTW, I’ve looked at some of their knit projects, and they say the patterns have written instructions for all charts, which is very nice.  And I remember that Lion Brand used to offer braille patterns, though that was a while ago.  Of course now patterns are digital anyway.instructions are almost 

Thanks.
