    Thanks for the help! I see a lot of crochet people using cotton and synthetic yarns, maybe because the stitch has different flexibility than knit? I already adapted my knitting to continental which helps a lot, so I may just look into methods that adapt.

      Cotton and acrylic are great for things like amigurumi because you get better stitch definition, so they do tend to be popular. Still though the flexibility makes a difference too like you say, I knitted a top from linen yarn once and it just ruined my wrist.

        Thanks for all the help! I might just pick up a couple of cheap cotton yarns somewhere to practice crochet. Can’t stand the texture of acrylic, otherwise I’d hit up the dollar store. Still hunting for decent priced wool, we’ll see!
