Cheaper Scarves May Be Seen at my House

While perusing my local craft store for some photo boxes on the weekend, I took a stroll through the yarn aisle, to see if they had anything interesting. Since it’sa craft store and not a yarn shop, the selection usually isn’t that interesting, however I did see that they may have a cheaper alternative to the Berroco Suede yarn for any gift scarves I may want to knit up. Lion Brand has a suede yarn as well, called, appropriately enough, Lion Suede. It’s not quite a tape like the Berroco Suede is, but considering it’s about $5 a skein cheaper, I really don’t care. And honestly, I think it might actually knit up slightly better with the Lion Suede, because I’ve found while using the scarf this week, it doesn’t sit as nicely as it could, and that it tends to roll up a bit. Now I know that last part is due to all the knitting and no garter stitch rows (or is it because of the no stockinette? I forget which one doesn’t roll as much.) but still, I think it might go nicer in the Lion Suede. Once I get my stash n’ projects organized, I’ll see what I can do for that.
