Hi All,
I have a question, and I figured that you lovely people would probably be the best source for the answer.
I'm looking for a good laceweight or fingering yarn that is non-wool and non-silk. (I'm allergic to everything.) It needs to be something fairly inexpensive. Any favorites?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Nutttshell:
I haven't used anything off the top of my head that would fit the bill... I thought immediately Cotton Fleece but I think that has some wool content.
However, check out this link: Yarndex. You can search both by weight of yarn and fibre content. I just checked briefly and 9 entries came up for laceweight cotton.
There is also some new corn yarn out - I can't recall the brand. I saw some recently and it looked to be between fingering and DK weight.
Finally: if you usually use acrylic, there are some "baby clothes" ones marketed which are pretty soft - 100% acrylic. Bernat has one or two for sure.
Hope this helps,
Kristina
I really depends on what you are looking for, but I have seen laceweight linen. Although Kristina's suggestion would likely give you more options.
Wonderful! I'll check out Bernat!
I have some bamboo laceweight (Naturally Stella, distributed by Fibertrends) that is very nice. It's not that expensive, but not exactly cheap, either.
