Do you recommend Hometown USA or Wool-Ease Thick & Quick? Is one of them better for blankets? Is one of them less likely to stretch out/sag or pill? Thanks.

Zontee says: Hi Mary, we’ve made a ton of blankets in both yarns and both hold up well. Since they’re both machine washable/dryable, they’re both good for kids as well. Mostly, it’s a matter of personal preference. Check out the color lines (Hometown USA has more brights, while Wool-Ease Thick & Quick has more muted colors) and remember that the wool content in WETQ will also make it warmer.

I did a similar thing recently. I wanted to knit a sweater and I wanted it to be quick and reletively painless. Since I had never knitted a sweater before, I also wanted to go easy on the budget, at least this first time around because, let’s face it, as in life, there are no garuntees when knitting sweaters. I decided on the Extra-Easy Extra-Fabulous Cardigan and swapped Hometown USA for the Woolease. You’re right– it is sooo soft, especially after I washed it. Luckily, the sweater turned out well! Too bad it’s 80 outside now!

I really like the Saturday Morning Hoodie and the Graceful Top – this one would be perfect right now in Phoenix!
