[@LionBrandYarn]

What's the softest yarn you've ever worked with?

[@jeannede104]

LionBrandYarn definitely alpaca or goat.

[@tracydavis8802]

I am a new crocheter, I am really enjoying it. I have only tried a few different types of yarn, but thanks to Yarn University I am so excited to try some of the soft ones mentioned in the video❤️

I was kind of hoping for a side=by=side comparison of cashmere, angora, merino and a few other fibers.

[@heather7862]

Hedgehog fibers Cashmerino is one of the softest. It doesn’t seem like it in the hank, or even after it’s wound into a cake. But when you knit with it and start building some fabric, it just blooms and becomes so soft and silky and delicious🥰

[@JessicaSmith-gd1fu]

I knitted a shawl out of an alpaca, silk blend of lace weight yarn. Yum!

[@juneleesenclair1045]

I liked the bamboo & silk, I worked with.

[@margaretkamm4248]

I love MCN yarns for sweater and garments. I have just found that I'm in love with bamboo and silk though.

[@Dulcimertunes]

My Angoras!

[@crystaldiamanda2137]

Came here from Bag-o-Day crochet to thank you for the yarn you sent her for the giveaway, thank you Lionbrand :)

[@DonnaScarpa]

Ditto!

[@knitpurlsquirrelwithgrannydee]

And another ditto!

[@yashpalchudasama501]

Rabbit hair is the sofest i feel

[@angrypanda5042]

Merino cashmere blend. Delicious!

[@jeannede104]

Ann Wilkerson I might use buffalo instead of merino.

[@melstrydom3545]

The yarn bought at shops don’t have microns on the labels, so how will we, the knitters, find that out?

[@hollym5873]

Love these educational videos. Thanks

[@paradisegarden1316]

Silk and mohair blends!

[@michelleday397]

To me cashmere and wool are not soft at all they feel itchy and coarse. I can only wear them if I have a barrier between them and my skin. So, silk and bamboo are the softest I’ve come across for my skin.

[@knitpurlsquirrelwithgrannydee]

Your silk yarn!!!!

[@knitpurlsquirrelwithgrannydee]

I’ve worked with lots of soft ones - probably the softest was a 100% polyester! Also silk, Pantone Bamboo which is a blend with nylon.

[@dianadejager1256]

Alpaca!

[@theresareichert7081]

Bamboo is the softest I have worked with

[@danielhatch3740]

Vicuna wool.

[@beckyp9700]

Bamboo and Soy are the softest for me.

[@Lynnaraye]

Bamboo for me too

[@kimvu7610]

Not sure about softness but I found acrylic yarn to feel absolutely amazing.

[@midnightknitter5654]

Alpaca and silk blend.

[@resamiller66]
