Fiber Friday – WeCrochet “Comfy” Fingering Review

Hi friends!

In this post I’ll be reviewing Comfy Fingering Weight by WeCrochet (the sister company to Knit Picks!)

I recently used this yarn for my Linden Cardigan, my Ripple Plant Rug, and my Easy Hanging Planter (faux macrame) and let me tell you – this yarn goes a long way!

 

Fiber Friday

What is Fiber Friday? Every Friday I’m gonna share with you one new yarn that I’m absolutely loving, including allllll the info – the yarn specs, what I would make with it, what I’d use it for, why it’s great for certain types of projects, and what patterns I’ve found that use this yarn including my own patterns and patterns from others! It’s fun to really focus on one specific yarn and explore all the projects people have been making with it. This is one way that I find new patterns, new designers and new designs that I love and can add to my Ravelry queue to make when I have time to start a new project!

Quick back story on why I’m doing this: When I started knitting and crocheting, I basically used Lion Brand Thick and Quick yarn exclusively. I’m sure you’ve tried it before.. It’s the best. It’s a fun, high quality department store chunky yarn that is easily available and inexpensive – perfect for beginners or those who love those quick gratification projects. If you’re learning to knit or crochet, I would 1000% recommend learning with this yarn! In the last 3 years, I have knit more hats made with Thick and Quick than I can count, and I think now it’s time to venture into new territory and explore some thinner yarns.. and I thought it would be fun to do it together!

Patterns

There are a lot of patterns out there that use Comfy Fingering – here are some of my favourites! And keep in mind, you can use Comfy Fingering in place of most fingering weight patterns. This is also a great yarn to use for market bags and beachy accessories!

Try Comfy Fingering in any of these patterns –

1. Angela Cardigan (Crochet) by Vicky Chan
2. River Walk (Knit) by Fiddle Knits
3. Linden Cardigan (Crochet) by Knits ‘N Knots
4. Mountain (Crochet) by MermaidCat Designs
5. Tegna (Knit) by Caitlin Hunter (not originally a Comfy Fingering pattern)

 

My Thoughts

This yarn doesn’t feel anything like the cotton yarns I’m used to. The ones I’ve tried are the inexpensive department store ones, like Bernat Handicrafter – typical dish cottons. This yarn feels nothing like those! It’s incredibly soft and it feels amazing on the skin – not scratchy or stiff in the least. This is something you’d actually want to wear. WeCrochet Comfy Fingering Weight is a great bang for your buck and is incredibly soft thanks to the 75% Pima Cotton – what’s not to like?

If you’re interested in trying out this yarn, you can try my free pattern – the Linden Cardigan!

 

Let me know if you’ve tried it! I’d love to know what you end up making!
