What are some good substitutes for yarn?

It depends on the type of yarn you're looking to substitute. Are you looking for a specific weight or fiber type?

I'm looking for a substitute for worsted weight acrylic yarn.

You can use cotton yarn or a wool blend as substitutes. They will give you a different texture but can work well!

What about for a bulky weight yarn?

For bulky weight yarn, you might consider using two strands of worsted weight yarn held together or a super bulky yarn.

Are there any specific brands you recommend?

For acrylic, Red Heart and Lion Brand are great options. For cotton, check out Bernat or Lily Sugar'n Cream.
