What are high quality acrylic yarns?
I asked a question here 4 days ago and someone said that there are high quality acrylic yarns out there. This is the third time I’ve heard about this…but what are the brands? I know it’s not Lion, TLC or Red Heart.
would it be Serenity yarn found on Premier Yarn website?
I’m really curious to know.
And the first and last time I crocheted with wool, I got horrible hives 
Patons Canadiana and Decor, and Plymouth Encore are all higher quality acrylics that are not especially expensive for the yardage and hold up well. Actually Lion has a few acrylics that aren’t too bad, but stay away from Homespun, which is an unspun yarn with a binder thread. If that thread breaks your yarn becomes very messy very fast. Many internet vendors as well as some mass merchandise stores as well as yarn shops sell the Patons and Plymouth brands. To be honest, when and IF I use an acrylic it would be one of these, although Wendy (British yarn house) also makes some nice ones, but these are a bit more expensive.
As for your experience with wool, if I may suggest, try a local, or an internet source, for handspun wools. Oftentimes an allergic reaction is not caused by the wool itself, but by the chemicals used to treat it and dye it afterwards. Those can cause some nasty reactions. As for bamboo, ingeo, and other *created natural yarns*, they are NOT *green*. In order to produce these yarns it takes a very involved chemical process to break down the original plant and then reconstitute the liquid plant material into fiber. What is *green* about them is that they are sustainable agriculture, but they are intensely chemically produced.
