What type of yarn should I buy for a winter hat?
I'd love something thick and stretchy that will resist getting wet easily when it gets snowed on.
The pattern I have doesn't specify what to use, so I think anything goes. I tried it with some yarn that I already have, but when I finished the hat there was absolutely no give, and the whole thing was so thin. Also, I'd prefer some thicker yarn that stretched a little. Any suggestions of brands and/or where I can buy them?
Take the needle size called for in the pattern and use that as a basis when you go and look for yarns. Fingering (sock or baby) yarns generally use size 0 to 3 (US) needles, sport yarns use 3 - 5, DK yarns use 4 - 6, worsted use 7 -9, and bulky use 9 - 15, super bulky use 17's and up. Wool yarns will resist water and even when wet remain warm. Superwash wools will not shrink or felt and can be machine washed (I love these for kids things). Cascade 220 has a superwash worsted version with lots of colors at a reasonable price, as does Nashua Yarn. Cascade is found in some department stores, but either may be found in a yarn shop and on-line.
