ok so I admit that thus far I have been working exclusively with lion brand wool-ease, however I needed specific colors for my prince and could not find all of them in that line. at least not at pearl art anyway. while still at pearl I was considering buying some cotton-ease but though what the hell and went to see what they had woolcott (a fancy real yarn store) and wound up with a couple largely cotton yarns. I bought one color in cascade sierra which has some merino wool in it but two colors in cascade luna which is all cotton. and has a weird texture and one of the colors I'm using it for makes up quite a deal of the prince.
and I realize I absolutely hate crocheting with luna (the other shade, yellow, I will luckily only have to use very sparingly) but it must be done I guess.

oh and btw while looking for a cream color I bought some lion wool realizing only afterwards that you cannot machine wash it.
I should really bother to roll these skeins up into balls. further, I should have them do it at the store when I buy this fucking stuff.
