Like Acrylic, wool, cotton, silklike list them in softest to roughest and which is the best to useI want a really soft light yarn that's thick to make a scarf but i don't know what the best one to useThank you so much!
Are you sure there wasn't any metal on the container?
In all honesty, the best way to tell is by touching the yarn in personThere are some yarn snobs that would never knit with acrylic yarnsSome acrylic yarns are plastic to the touch, but there are some that are extremely soft and wonderful to withI really like the feel of the wool/silk blend yarn like Lorna's Laces Lion and LambI also like Brooks Farm Solana and Four Play, which you can usually only see at fiber shows, but you can purchase onlineBaby Alpaca is another soft yarn that people knit up scarvesI've used Misti Alpaca's Hand Paint Chunky and Cascade Yarns Baby Alpaca Chunky are so soft to the touch and make a nice, warm scarvesIt's a different drape than 100% woolMalabrigo's worsted yarn is a popular choice for scarves because it knits well and is soft to the touchI like, but I tend to take special with this as can felt and pill with harder useLionbrand has also come out with newer yarns that are nice to the touch, such as their Cashmere Blend YarnSomething to consider when choosing a yarn is not only the feel, but the care afterwards (machine washable vs handwash to avoid wool from felting).
