what is your favorite yarn for longies?

I am on the verge of getting some custom-made and she'll use yarn from elsewhere (LTK, Holy Sheep, etc). What do you like best and why?

I really like the Merino from Jessica at http://fabriconnection.com/store/WsDefault.asp?One=221

I'm not sure if she'll be able to fill you order in time?? - read her home page about closing for a bit. But she may have some natural colors in stock - very, very soft and yummy.

I should also be getting some hand-dyed yarn off of Ebay on Friday - I'll let you know what I think :) See: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8121176939 - the price is right and the seller was very easy to work with.

And I should be getting some Mountain Colors 4/8 wool from http://www.kaleidoscopeyarns.com/mountain-colors-wool-worsted-weight-yarn.html

Another site I ran across: www.mysticalcreationsyarns.com

Happy shopping :)

I love the Mountain Colors. That is what I used to knit Finn's 1st soaker. They have such beatiful colors (though a little on the $$ side).

I'm thinking about having the knitting nana (nana's woolies) make me a pair like the one's she currently has on auction so maybe I'll just tell her to use whatever she used for those.

does this link work?
