I think my favourite Autumn fibre has to be wool. I really nice sproingy wool!
I'm enjoying my first go of knitting with alpaca at the moment -and I'm looking forward to using some Blue Faced Leicester soon. They both feel lovely and autumny.
My favourite fiber? Anything that can be spun, and can be knit/crochet with afterwards. And it needs to be warm! So 100% wool with a touch of mohair. Love it.
I love all spinnable fibers. My favorite is Rambouillet.
Wool - no matter what the season, I love wool!
My favourite fibre for autumn is silk as it adjusts from being cool if we get a warm “Indian autumn” or warm if we get an icy “Icelandic autumn”
Mine is alpaca. Warm but light, and luxurious - it gets me in the mood for winter!
Alpaca! Love to knit with it year round, but it's a bit too hot to wear in the summer. :)
Thank you for the giveaway!
I just learned to crochet this summer, and picked up some alpaca to try. It made me think of fall when I picked it up. Think I will try to make it into a shawl for next fall.
Merino!
I'd generally say Malabrigo, but I'm about to start knitting your beautiful "Elsie", and using a stunning nectarine, pink and red transitioning Merino Mohair from New Zealand. :)
Can't wait!!! Margaret
My favourite fiber is definitely merino. warm enough when it is cool and not too warm if the day gets warmer.
My favourite autumn fiber is a mixture between coton and wool, not too warm but warm enough.
My favourite fiber is Merino; it's warm and light for cold days; I love to wear it
Merino for me!
For Autumn, I like a lightweight wool/silk blend.
All kinds of wool of course!
What a gorgeous design! It's merino all the way for me!
Thanks for the great giveaway :)
my favorite fiber for fall is a merino/silk blend with some cashmere thrown in.
I would love knitting with alpaca blended with silk in autumn colours...mmm really soft smooth and silky. Already dreaming...
My fave is definitely an alpaca/silk mix or a merino/cashmere/silk mix (yes, I'm spoiled XD). Lovely smooshy yarns in autumn colours to combat all the rain...
My favourite is a silk/merino blend because it's so soft and with the weather I think a bit of luxury is needed! :)
My favorite fiber at any time is merino. Thanks for the great giveaway!
