De Rerum Natura Cyrano and Gilliatt are my faves for Babaa sweaters. They have the rustic 'tooth' while still being soft enough to wear, and a joy to work with. And pure merino wool, so these sweaters will last forever.

Concerned citizen :
How can you tell if yarns are “toothy” from online research? Are you looking at a specific type of wool (sounds like merino or alpaca) or is there a metric you’re looking at?

Doesn’t that make the sweater incredibly itchy to wear?

Do you have suggestions for a yarn for someone who wants the structure of more rustic wool but has a really hard time with the itchiness?

Do you think it’s possible to knit a Babaa sweater in 100% cotton yarn?

Small plug for buying from USA mills like Junction Fiber Mill, Green Mountain Spinnery, or for buying directly from sheep farms at your local fiber fest!

I would even say don’t use extrafine merino. It’s too drape-y. If anything add an alpaca, it can give it a more rustic look

I just invested in bunch of Noro Haunui and I think it’s going to make an incredible MFTK No. 30. I’ve knit up a bit of it and it’s so soft and rustic and lovely - would highly recommend if you’re looking for a splurge-y treat

Ive been trying to find a dupe pattern for their number 97 and 16 sweaters 😩 I get so close but not what Im after. (I have a few sweaters in my favs on Ravelry like the Lakes and some from My Fave Things)

Bruiser :
Feelin so validated because I was this 🤌🏽 close to buying superwash yarn for my lakes (babaa dupe) and I ended up going with a toothy rustic (hedgerow) yarn and when it came I panicked for a sec thinking it wasn’t soft enough, but now it’s knitting up beautifully and has amazing texture… so yeah love to learn these details!! Makes all the difference! Yarn scholar!
