| Diane | I love to knit…no matter what yarn I use |
| Dominik VL | My favorite lightweight yarn is Blue Sky Alpacas Alpaca-Silk. It is the softest I have crocheted or knit with – feels like butter! |

| Elizabeth | 100purewool – it glides easily, and isn’t heavy |
| Erica P | Classic Elite |
| Evelyn V | I love to use DK weight bamboo yarn to knit beaded bracelets because it is so easy to knit and comfortable to wear, even in the hottest summer months.

| Krista S | I don’t generally use a lot of lightweight yarn, but I have used Paton’s Grace cotton. |
| Laura W | My favorite light-weight yarn is Dizzy Blonde Studios Superwash Sock. It’s a light fingering in amazing colors. Most of the colorways are tonal shifts, so not too high contrast for lacework. And it’s oh-so-soft! |
| Laurie G | I absolutely love Pagewood Farm’s Yukon line. It is a merino superwash wool with bamboo and nylon. It has a great “feel” to it so it is nice to work with. It also has a lovely drape to it and a slight sheen. It is working up very nicely in the Lace Canopy Cardi-Shawl that I am making. This is a pattern designed by Simona Merchant-Dest and published in Interweave Crochet. Yukon is hand dyed in small batches and has some wonderful colors. I know I’ll have a unique garment when I finish. |
