Looking for links for non wool yarn

#1

I wish I could wear wool.:waah: I try but I just can’t. I drool when I see the colorways that are so gorgeous and cry when I see they even have one ounce of wool in them.

Does anyone know of links for non wool sock yarn? I know it’s been posted before. I was given money for xmas for sock yarn and I can’t seem to find yarn that doesnt’ have wool in it. I know it’s out there.

I’d love to find a colorway that blends like a watercolor. Everything seems to boring as in color or hard stripes.

Maybe I’ll just make myself some wool socks and take a handful of benadryl. That way I can sleep through the itching.:roflhard:

Can you wear other animal fibers like alpaca or are all animal fibers a no-go?

Try:
Mary Maxim Bamboo Stripes Sock Yarn
Crystal Palace Panda Soy
Crystal Palace Panda Cotton

There are sock yarns made w/bamboo, cotton, even corn. Be sure to check the content because they often have wool, too.

I think these are some w/out wool:

None. I can’t do angora, so I’m assuming alpaca is out.

Hello,
I’ve used the Lion Brand ‘Jiffy’ yarn with great results. It is 100% acrylic but feels like mohair wool. It is very soft and yet durable. I’ve made hats and scarves with it, and there are multi-colour yarns available that are coloured very nicely (as well as many solid colours.)
I searched for this yarn, since I can’t wear wool either.
Good luck!

The ones I listed, plus Maizy, have no animal fiber in them, whatsoever, and are sock weight.
