I've been using yarn because I didn't know what to use so now I have a bunch of yarn. Yet I've wanted to switch to using floss but wondering what is cheaper? I know floss is used more. Is it worth going and using all the yarn for a new type? or What do you use? What is your favorite? |

Where I live yarn is much cheaper. So that's what I use. As far as I know floss is a lot cheaper in the US than it is here and it's harder to find a lot of colors cotton yarn out there.

If you like the yarn and it's affordable I dont see why you should switch. But if you like to try a different material you can always buy a few bits of floss and give it a try? |

I'm in us as well and it is very hard to find colors I can't find neon and I'm aggravated I have a bunch and just found some friendship thread that I'd never find. |

I just answered a similar question on the "Other" forum. You can look at my answer there for a longer explanation but my first choice is 1.5mm shamballa cord. Very nice to work with, tons of colors, $1.49 per 57' lengths. You can also try the thinner paracord but not the thick stuff, that'll be too thick and bulky. |

I agree yarn is cheaper, but I always thought floss looked nicer and was more fingertips-friendly when you weave. (Though I've had friends asking me to do a bracelet in yarn because they thought otherwise).

If you mean like normal yarn that you knit with I would say it's more expensive. I personally don't really like yarn cause I find it itchy but I use to knit hats a lot and that's why I have so much of it. Another advantage to floss is that it does not take up as much space. I know all my yarn fills up a good two totes and it's a pain to get out. |
