What Yarn for Giselle?
I am on my way to finishing Bella, and I am looking for yarn suggestions for Giselle. My budget is a little tight at the moment, so I am looking for yarn that won't break the bank. Thanks!
I think a dk weight drapy yarn is what you would want. If you are on a budget, you might try KnitPicks elegance. Others that might be nice are Cascade Pima Silk, Debbie Bliss Alpaca Silk dk or cashmerino dk, Sublime cashmere, silk, merino blend (I can't remember what it is called).
I'm using Debbie Bliss Cotton Angora which is just lovely - I bought it on ebay so took a bit of a gamble on the colour but got it at a bargain price (and then bought the needles over the road at the LYS to ease my conscience!)

You may wish to check out the Nashua DK blend on sale at Yarn.com. Great colors and not at all expensive.

Thanks everyone. I'll let you know what I choose!
I'm using Sirdar Baby Bamboo Yarn, its really soft and drapey.
