>>
>> 2. Smooth acrylics. Can't beat RH Super Saver/Caron Simply Soft at
>> Joanns/Michaels/Walmart or "I Love this Yarn" at Hobby Lobby. A good 
>> "LYS"
>> option is Plymouth Encore. Bernat has some nice ones available at many
>> stores as well.
>>
>> 3. Cottons. Sugar n Cream is really the standard for dishcloth cottons.
>> Knitpicks.com has a few nice cottons for more variety. Plymouth makes 
>> some
>> good mercerized cottons. Cotton Ease by Lion Brand is great for clothing.
>>
>> All of the above are between $2 and $9 a skein and come in multiple
