Go to a locally owned specialty yarn store or craft shop and look at the huge array of various yarn fibers in which to select. There is a broad variety of fiber choices. Eco-friendly yarns made from bamboo and cotton are extremely soft. Skeins that have ribbons or feathers incorporated into the fibers are great eye-catchers on a handmade garment. Many chunky yarns today are thick, curly, wooly, and fibrous. This enormous variety of modern-day yarns give a much bigger selection to enhance projects than the ordinary acrylic yarns that were available up until about decade ago. - 4
