OMG. That's awesome. :-D
So anyway, my newest worsted love is Deborah Norville Everyday Soft Worsted. Probably the worst (ha ha ha) name for a yarn EVER (I mean, really, who the hell is Deborah Norville? Isn't she one of the chicks who banged a televangelist like 20 years ago or something?) BUT it's a really great yarn. It's really silky soft & smooth, but there's a density to it -- like butter in yarn form. I made this blanket with it, and every time I pull it over my lap, I still feel like I'm covering myself up with the touch-equivalent of a big puddle of hot fudge.
There are actually LOTS of really soft acrylics out there: Caron Simply Soft, Bernat Satin... even Red Heart Soft is pretty darn good. I love making blankets out of Lion Brand Homespun (but it's not worsted).
The bare-basic, uber-cheap acrylics are HORRENDOUS, though -- you won't get any argument from me on that.
As a mom of a 9 & nearly 13 y.o., I've been living a very machine washable life for a long time now. I gotta be able to throw it in with everything else in the laundry and then machine dry it, even kick in a bit of bleach now and then.
There are also a lot more skin sensitivities to animal fibers than there are to acrylics, which is another good reason to use acrylics in baby items. Depending on what kind of wool it is, and where I'm wearing it, I can get a pretty bad rash. (A wool scarf in winter? Fuhgeddaboudit!!)
So anyway, that Deborah Norville Everyday... It's good stuff. Less than $4/skein full retail from Joann. I've also gotten it from fabric.com and in 3-skein packs (in basic colors, nothing too exciting) off of Amazon.
