love it, hate it, never tried it. A fiber game.

[TemptressYarn]

I'll start--I'll name a fiber material I use (and source if possible) and the next person has to tell whether they love it, hate it or never tried it, then list a material for the the next person to comment on.

(Be sure to go to the last reply at the bottom of the page, then respond to that post, not my original one)

Cotton, hated it, hard to spin and didn't like the feel of it...

[Cindy]

Ooh, yes, I didnt like spinning cotton either and ended up using it to stuff plush toys and add bits of it to batts.

What about..silk cocoons from Doll Makers Inc.? (http://dollmakersink.com)

[chimaeracrafts]

i haven't tried silk cocoons but it is on the list. i have a ton of cotton roving and hate hate hate spinning it even. way too stressful, but i'm starting to enjoy spinning it thick and thin slubbed and then plying with something else. it does make for a soft yarn.--julianna

duh, forgot to mention another fiber. how about french angora, i have 2 and love the way it feels. also bought some cashmere but haven't tried to spin it yet. saving it for something special. for now i tell my kids it's my "bag of happiness" and just feel it from time to time.--julianna

Very much like Cotswold, Cormo and Angelina fibers, etc...

Wensleydale fleece from Neil Kentner in MI.

[Amy Ford]

Never from the fleece. I've only spun Wensleydale from commercial top. But I loved it!

How about tussah silk top?

[Johoanna Boykin]

Haven't tried that.

What about Huacaya Alpaca fleece?
