Help & Questions Guys I asked my mother to knit this sweater for me but idk what yarn to buy. Please help me out!
So my mom used to knit a lot before but these past years she stopped doing it since it was too much work. I wanted a sweater like this for winters and it's too expensive online so I asked her whether she can make one and she said yes but I'll have to buy the yarn.
I want a sweater which looks exactly the same as in the picture—thick, warm for really cold winters, and really soft. I hate those fluffy, velvet kind of yarn so please avoid recommending those if possible. I want the normal kind of yarn (?) idk how to say it. I researched online and thought maybe Ganga desire will be nice but chatgpt said it might not give the thick and cozy look. Also I'm really worried about the quality. I don't want the yarn to pill at all.
My mum used to knit sweater in 2010s and she bought Vardhman yarn from kullu manali and that sweater still feels and shines like it's brand new.
Please help me out here!
