What yarn do you use?
I have been using Caron Simply Soft yarn when making hats for babies/ kids. I love the softness of it. I have also tried Red Heart and that just seems so stiff.
What brand / type do you use?
I did check the FAQ for sites to order on-line but my other question is do you order on-line or buy in the store?
Thanks so much ladies!
Re: What yarn do you use?
I use the Simply Soft too. I love it and haven't found another yet that I like as much.
I'm interested to see the replies.

I actively trying as many different types as I can find. We have a LYS and they stock Cascade 220 in every color imagineable. It's a very good, classic wool yarn. I'm currently making a sweater out of Noro Kureyon and Cash Iroha. But have tons of yarn waiting for me...
I suppose I've made it a mission in life to try as many as possible!
I've ordered from KnitPicks.com, yarn.com, Yarnmarket.com and a couple of others.
Simply soft is a great acrylic yarn for baby stuff.
I like cotton ease (50% cotton/50% acrylic) and vanna's choice baby by lion brand. You can find this at most chain craft stores (Hobby Lobby, JoAnns, etc), or online at lionbrand.com
I just got my first experience with Knitpicks "comfy fingering" this weekend, and I'm in love! SO SOFT and it's working up beautifully (even though I'm only 8 rows in).
lol... small world. I don't even know what LYS is
Local Yarn Shop. I did google and came up with about 2 in York county. I think I'm going to have to check them out soon...
Uncommon Threads 2025 Springwood Dr (Queensgate)
Alpaca Yarn Co 144 Roosevelt Ave (not sure if they actually have a store there though, since they are a manufacturer)
oh... I could not for the life of me figure it out... lol
I know that there is one in Queensgate but I have not been to it yet. I have had my kids with me when I am out in that direction and they are not that patient yet
