Out of curiosity, what kind of hair piece?

You just need to go to a chain craft store, like Michael’s or Jo-Ann’s, instead of a local, independently-run yarn store (which usually carry higher-end yarns, not acrylic).

Maybe i should look into knitting as a hobby . However I would like to use 100% acrylic yarn for a hair piece that I would like to make. I’ve never done this before but I’m dying to try. I was told to use ONLY acrylic yarn since any other kind would end up locking into the hair.

I had no idea finding 100% acrylic yarn in seattle proper would be so difficult. After dropping by a couple of places in town with no luck, the only place online in seattle that i’ve confirmed has it is Seattle Yarn all the way in West Seattle. If there is a source of 100% acrylic yarn closer to downtown Seattle I’d like to find it. Or would you recommend ordering online? I’m anxious to get started soon, while I have most of the month off to experiment with yarn styles. Help! :)

You get a ton of yardage and it comes in a huge variety of colors, but it is scratchy as hell. But it holds up really well in the rain since it is acrylic. I recommend it, but with the caveat that I would never use it for anything other than bombing because it’s really pretty crappy feeling yarn. It doesn’t seem to bother my hands, though, so that is good.

I’m from Australia and we have a very very poor selection of colors in yarns and I’ve noticed Red Heart has some good colors. They ship here so I was thinking about ordering some. Which kind do you use?

Great picture – RedHeart & red wine,a winning combination!
