What substitutes do you recommend for Red Heart Eco-Cotton they discontinued it, even though I can still get it on some sites I would like to know
if anyone used other yarns and how they worked? I dont know if you do like me I get the patterns and make them later.
Thanks

Knit picks seems to have some nice worsted weight yarns.

Here is a few that I would maybe try:

http://www.knitpicks.com/yarns/Simply_C ... 20199.html
http://www.knitpicks.com/yarns/Shine_Wo ... 20140.html

There is also some worsted weight cottons if you have a Walmart, a JoAnne's, a Michael's or a Hobby Lobby. Look on the Label for a weight of #4 (worsted). And then swatch and see how the gauge is. Also, it does not have to be cotton either. It can be an acrylic, bamboo etc. The most important thing will for it to have the #4 on the label, and that you can achieve gauge with it.

I hope this helps some ;)
