Yarn substitutions?

#1

I swear I did a search and couldn’t find what I was looking for… :slight_smile:

I think I remember seeing someone post a website here that helps you figure out yarn subs? Did I dream that? Or, does anyone know of such a site?

The best site I know of is Yarndex.com.

That’s a great site, thanks! And WOW, thanks for the quick response! I am now totally overwhelmed… LOL

So, I guess the question I should have asked is, what’s a good (cheaper) sub for the Noro to make the booga bag?

I used cascade 220. It isn’t as fuzzy though, but it felts really nicely.

Lotsa people have made bags, even Booga bags with Paton’s SWS. It has long color changes.

I ususally use Wool of the Andes from KnitPicks.com

You have to stripe it yourself, but it comes out wonderfully!
