This is a question for those who have knit these already: what brands of yarn/fibers have you used (other than the pattern yarn)?
I’m definitely using stash yarns (I’m on a massive yarn diet) and I have a few Knit Picks alpaca blends I’m considering. Will they be stretchy enough, or must I stick with 100% wool?

I am using Baby Ull on a US size 2 and getting gauge.

I just knit one in Lion Brand Microspun, 100% washable acrylic… my brother has skin problems. I used US size 6 to get gauge, but I knit rather tightly.

I am using Red Heart acrylic sport (I know, I KNOW…it was a cheap-skate moment and I already regret it…) on #3’s and I’m getting perfect gauge so far.
