I often get asked what yarns I recommend for a project. Most of my crochet designs are made with worsted weight acrylic yarn, and through trial and error with many, MANY different brands and labels, I've determined that these are my favorites to work...

My favorite worsted weight acrylic yarns - a staple for many amigurumi patterns!
Soft and not scratchy, this is a great acrylic yarn to work with - it's my absolute favorite! The stitch definition is excellent and color selection is beautiful.
Anti-Pilling Everyday® Worsted - Premier Yarns
Smooth and sleek, with nice stitch definition. A nice collection of colors, and their Pumpkin shade is the perfect orange for fall projects.
Basic Stitch Anti Pilling™ Yarn - Lion Brand Yarn
A little on the fluffier side, but the colors are bright and true, and it's a solid quality yarn on a budget. Customer service at Lovecrafts has always been excellent to me, and I love when I get to place an order with them.
Paintbox Yarns Simply Aran - LoveCrafts
Not my absolute favorite, but it's my go-to in-store choice when I'm in a hurry! Not too scratchy, with a nice array of colors.
